New Secondary Analysis of Phase 3 Data Demonstrates Sotagliflozin Improves Time-In-Range (TIR) and Several Parameters of Glucose Control and Variability in Basal Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: LXRX) announced positive results from the SOTA-INS CGM Phase 3 trial for sotagliflozin in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients treated with basal insulin. The study showed that once-daily dosing of sotagliflozin 400 mg improved time-in-range (TIR) and several continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters, including glucose variability. The 200 mg dose also showed positive trends.
Key findings include:
- Sotagliflozin 200 mg and 400 mg once daily TIR (15.3 and 15.9 hours, respectively) approached the American Diabetes Association's target of 17 hours
- Modest reductions in time-above-range (TAR) and mild increases in time-below-range (TBR) were observed
The results will be presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) on September 12th, 2024.

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: LXRX) gab positive Ergebnisse der SOTA-INS CGM Phase-3-Studie für Sotagliflozin bei Patienten mit Typ-2-Diabetes (T2D), die mit Basisinsulin behandelt wurden, bekannt. Die Studie ergab, dass die einmal tägliche Gabe von 400 mg Sotagliflozin die Zeit im Zielbereich (TIR) und mehrere Parameter der kontinuierlichen Glukoseüberwachung (CGM) verbesserte, einschließlich der Glukosevariabilität. Auch die 200 mg-Dosis zeigte positive Trends.
Wichtige Ergebnisse sind:
- Die TIR von Sotagliflozin in Dosen von 200 mg und 400 mg einmal täglich (15,3 bzw. 15,9 Stunden) näherte sich dem Ziel von 17 Stunden der American Diabetes Association
- Es wurden moderate Reduktionen der Zeit über dem Zielbereich (TAR) und leichte Erhöhungen der Zeit unter dem Zielbereich (TBR) beobachtet
Die Ergebnisse werden am 12. September 2024 auf der 60. Jahrestagung der Europäischen Diabetesgesellschaft (EASD) präsentiert.
- Sotagliflozin 400 mg improved time-in-range (TIR) and CGM parameters in T2D patients on basal insulin
- Both 200 mg and 400 mg doses approached ADA's TIR target of 17 hours
- Study results align with positive outcomes from previous T1D trials
- Data adds to evidence supporting the value of dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibition
- Lexicon is not pursuing an indication to treat type 2 diabetes with sotagliflozin
- Mild increases in time-below-range (TBR) were observed
This new secondary analysis of Phase 3 data for sotagliflozin in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients shows promising results. The study demonstrates improvements in Time-In-Range (TIR) and other glucose control parameters for patients treated with basal insulin. Key findings include:
- Sotagliflozin 400 mg once daily improved TIR and several CGM parameters, including glucose variability
- Positive trends were observed with the 200 mg dose as well
- TIR with sotagliflozin (15.3-15.9 hours) approached the ADA target of 17 hours
- Modest reductions in time-above-range (TAR) and mild increases in time-below-range (TBR) were noted
These results align with previous positive outcomes in type 1 diabetes trials, suggesting potential benefits across diabetes types. However, it's important to note that Lexicon is not pursuing a T2D indication for sotagliflozin, limiting its immediate market impact.
While the study results are positive, the financial implications for Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (LXRX) are Key points to consider:
- Lexicon is not pursuing a type 2 diabetes indication for sotagliflozin, restricting potential market expansion
- The data adds to the body of evidence supporting SGLT1 inhibition, which could indirectly benefit Lexicon's broader research efforts
- The presentation at EASD may increase visibility and scientific credibility for Lexicon's research
Investors should note that while these results are scientifically interesting, they are unlikely to have a significant direct impact on Lexicon's near-term financial performance or stock price. The company's focus remains on other indications and this study primarily serves to reinforce the potential of their dual SGLT1/2 inhibition approach.
Study results aligned with positive clinical trial outcomes for type 1 diabetes treatment with sotagliflozin
TIR measures approach target set by American Diabetes Association
Data to be presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain and online
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) today announced that data from the SOTA-INS CGM Phase 3 randomized clinical trial demonstrated that once-daily dosing of sotagliflozin 400 mg improved time-in-range (TIR) and several continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters, including glucose variability, in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Researchers also observed positive trends with the once-daily dose of 200 mg. Study findings will be presented September 12th at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain and online.
The objective of the SOTA-INS CGM study was to evaluate the effect of sotagliflozin on TIR as assessed by CGM in people with T2D. The primary sub-study endpoint was mean change in percentage of time spent within TIR (glucose 70-180 mg/dL [3.9-10.0 mmol/L]) over 24 hours for sotagliflozin 400 mg versus placebo.
The American Diabetes Association recommends a TIR target of at least
Sotagliflozin has previously demonstrated glycemic efficacy and improvements in TIR as an adjunct to insulin therapy in people with T1D who participated in the inTandem clinical trial program.
Details of the data presentation are as follows:
- Effect of Sotagliflozin, a Dual SGLT 1 and 2 Inhibitor, on Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Basal Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes – an ePoster presentation, Thursday, September 12th, 12:45p.m. CEST, IFEMA Madrid, Station 10 and online, presented by Julio Rosenstock, M.D., Senior Scientific Advisor for Velocity Clinical Research, Director of Velocity’s site at Medical City Dallas, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas.
“We are encouraged by the observation of Dr. Rosenstock and his fellow researchers that sotagliflozin’s dual inhibition of SGLT2 and SGLT1 may offer an additional therapeutic option to improve glycemic control for people with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin,” said Craig Granowitz, M.D., Ph.D., Lexicon’s senior vice president and chief medical officer. “While we are not pursuing an indication to treat people with type 2 diabetes, this study adds to the body of evidence supporting the incremental value of inhibiting SGLT1.”
About sotagliflozin
Discovered using Lexicon’s unique approach to gene science, sotagliflozin is an oral inhibitor of two proteins responsible for glucose regulation known as sodium-glucose cotransporter types 2 and 1 (SGLT2 and SGLT1). SGLT2 is responsible for glucose and sodium reabsorption by the kidney and SGLT1 is responsible for glucose and sodium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Sotagliflozin has been studied in multiple patient populations encompassing heart failure, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease in clinical studies involving approximately 20,000 patients.
