Summary

Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that lixisenatide can reduce cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality (composite endpoint of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina) compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic participants who recently experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate that when compared to placebo, lixisenatide can reduce: * composite endpoint of CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or hospitalization for heart failure. * composite endpoint of CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, or coronary revascularization procedure. * urinary albumin excretion (based on the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio). To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Men and women who experienced a spontaneous ACS event (i.e., ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) or unstable angina) with a documented elevation above the normal reference range of a cardiac biomarker (Troponin or Creatinine Kinase (CK)-MB) and the clinical presentation consistent with an ACS which lead to admission to an acute care facility, within 180 days following the ACS event and prior to screening.
  • Participants with a history of type 2 diabetes (for participants newly diagnosed, diagnosis was based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria: i.e., either a fasting venous plasma glucose concentration ≥ 7.0 mmol/L [126 mg/dL] or 2-hour post glucose load venous plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L [200 mg/dL], confirmed on 2 occasions) prior to the screening visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus or history of ketoacidosis within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 11% measured at screening visit.
  • Required to use incretin-based agents (e.g., Glucagon-like peptide -1 (GLP-1) agonists or Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors) other than the study drug during the double-blind treatment period.
  • Participants who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery following the qualifying ACS event.
  • Participants who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 15 days prior to screening.
  • Participants with planned revascularization procedure (PCI or CABG) or coronary angiogram within 90 days after screening visit.
  • History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), or genetic conditions that predisposes to MTC (e.g., multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified at the time of screening that in the judgment of the Investigator or any sub-Investigator would preclude safe completion of the study or constrain endpoints assessment such as major systemic diseases.
