Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c 26 Weeks After Randomisation [Week 0, week 26]

    Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period. In-trial period: the observation period from date of randomisation until last trial-related subject-site contact.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in 1-hour Post Prandial Glucose (PPG) Increment 26 Weeks After Randomisation (Meal Test) [Week 0, week 26]

    The 1-hour PPG increment was analysed based on the laboratory-measured values in the meal test, and was derived using the 1-hour PPG measurement minus the pre-prandial plasma glucose (PG). The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

  2. Change From Baseline in 1,5-anhydroglucitol 26 Weeks After Randomisation [Week 0, week 26]

    The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) 26 Weeks After Randomisation [Week 0, week 26]

    The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

  4. Percentage of Subjects Reaching HbA1c Targets (HbA1c < 7.0%) 26 Weeks After Randomisation [26 weeks after randomisation]

    The percentage of subjects who achieved the HbA1c target of <7.0% 26 weeks after randomisation. Subjects without an HbA1c measurement at week 26 were treated as non-responders.

  5. Percentage of Subjects Reaching HbA1c Targets (HbA1c < 7.0% Without Severe Hypoglycaemia) 26 Weeks After Randomisation [26 weeks after randomisation]

    The percentage of subjects who achieved the HbA1c target of <7.0% without severe hypoglycaemia 26 weeks after randomisation. Severe hypoglycaemia: An episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose concentrations may not be available during an event, but neurological recovery following the return of plasma glucose to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration. Subjects without an HbA1c measurement at week 26 were treated as non-responders.

  6. Percentage of Subjects Reaching HbA1c Targets (HbA1c < 7.0% Without Severe Hypoglycaemia and Minimal Weight Gain [<3.0%]) 26 Weeks After Randomisation [26 weeks after randomisation]

    The percentage of subjects who achieved the HbA1c target of <7.0% without severe hypoglycaemia and with minimal weight gain (defined as less than a 3% increase) 26 weeks after randomisation. Severe hypoglycaemia: An episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose concentrations may not be available during an event, but neurological recovery following the return of plasma glucose to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration. Subjects without an HbA1c measurement at week 26 or without body weight measurement at week 26 were treated as non-responders.

  7. Change From Baseline in 30- Min, 1- Hour, 2- Hour, 3- Hour and 4- Hour PPG 26 Weeks After Randomisation [Week 0, week 26]

    Laboratory measured PG from the meal test was analysed for 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes PPG separately. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

  8. Change From Baseline in 30- Min, 1- Hour, 2- Hour, 3- Hour and 4- Hour PPG Increment 26 Weeks After Randomisation [Week 0, week 26]

    Laboratory measured PG from the meal test was analysed for 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes PPG separately. The corresponding PPG increments were derived separately using each PPG measurement minus the pre-prandial PG. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

  9. Change From Baseline in 7-9-7-point Self-measured Plasma Glucose (SMPG) 26 Weeks After Randomisation: Mean of the 7-9-7-point Profile [Week 0, week 26]

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details The trial was conducted at 146 sites in 12 countries(number of sites indicates those that both screened and randomised subjects, unless otherwise noted)-Austria(4);Bulgaria(8); Canada(6); Germany(7); India(16); Israel(6); Italy(4); Japan(24); Russian Federation(10); Serbia(3); Taiwan(3); United States(55 sites screened/52 sites randomised subjects)
Pre-assignment Detail Eligible subjects were enrolled in a 8-week run-in period (1108 subjects) where subjects were switched from previous insulin treatment to insulin degludec once daily,and NovoRapid®/NovoLog® as mealtime bolus insulin. The basal insulin treatment was optimised using treat-to-target approach. 83 subjects were run-in failures and 1025 were randomised.
Arm/Group Title Faster Aspart (Meal) Faster Aspart (Post) NovoRapid (Meal)
Arm/Group Description Bolus insulin: Participants received subcutaneous (s.c., into the abdominal wall) injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (0-2 minutes before the meal) during 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period. Bolus insulin: Participants received s.c. injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (injecting the bolus insulin at the end of the meal but no later than 20 minutes after the start of the meal) during 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period. After 8-week run-in period, subjects continued using mealtime insulin aspart (NovoRapid®/NovoLog®) s.c. injections at mealtime (0-2 minutes before the meal) during 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Faster Aspart (Meal), NovoRapid (Meal)
Comments Change from baseline in 1,5-anhydroglucitol was analysed using an analysis of variance model after multiple imputation assuming treatment according to randomisation. The model includes treatment, region and bolus adjusting method at randomisation as factors, and baseline 1,5-anhydroglucitol as a covariate.
Type of Statistical Test Superiority
Comments Stepwise hierarchical testing procedure was applied for confirmatory endpoints: Step 5: 1,5-anhydroglucitol superiority of mealtime faster aspart versus mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog®. Superiority was to be confirmed if the lower boundary of the two-sided 95% CI of the mean treatment difference (mealtime faster aspart minus mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog®) was above 0.

PPG increment for each meal (breakfast, lunch, main evening meal) was derived from the 7-point and 9-point profile as the difference between PPG values and the PG value before the meal in each separate profile. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period.

Analysis was based on SAS. Number of subjects analysed=subject with data available for body mass index.
Arm/Group Title Faster Aspart (Meal) Faster Aspart (Post) NovoRapid (Meal)
Arm/Group Description Bolus insulin: Participants received subcutaneous (s.c., into the abdominal wall) injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (0-2 minutes before the meal) during 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period. Bolus insulin: Participants received s.c. injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (injecting the bolus insulin at the end of the meal but no later than 20 minutes after the start of the meal) during 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the glycaemic target of pre-prandial and bedtime plasma glucose between 4.0-6.0 mmol/L (71-108 mg/dL) in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections at the dose optimized during run-in period during 26-week treatment period.
