A study on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of lixisenatide in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Mean lixisenatide concentrations generally increased with increasing dose, irrespective of ADA status. Lixisenatide was associated with improved glycemic control and a trend in body weight reduction compared with placebo. The safety and tolerability profile of repeated lixisenatide doses of up to 20 μg per day in children and adolescents with T2D was reflective of the established safety profile of lixisenatide in adults.
