Popis: AIMS To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SAR425899, a novel polypeptide, active as an agonist at both the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucagon receptor (GCR), in healthy volunteers and in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Subcutaneous administrations of SAR425899 were tested in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials. In the first trial, healthy overweight volunteers (body mass index [BMI] 25-30 kg/m2 ; n = 32) received single-ascending doses (0.01-0.1 mg) of SAR425899 or placebo. In the second, a multiple-ascending-dose trial (NCT02411825), healthy normal- to overweight volunteers (BMI 20-30 kg/m2 ; n = 40) and overweight/obese patients with T2D (BMI 28-42 kg/m2 ; n = 36) received daily doses of SAR425899 or placebo over 21 or 28 days, respectively. RESULTS The most frequently reported adverse events were gastrointestinal; gastrointestinal side effects were less pronounced in patients with T2D compared with healthy volunteers. SAR425899 significantly reduced levels of fasting plasma glucose (P
