Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Meal time FIAsp and insulin detemir

Drug: Faster-acting insulin aspart
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted. Meal time dosing is defined as injecting 0-2 minutes before the meal.

Drug: insulin detemir
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted. Administrated once or twice daily.

Active Comparator: Meal time insulin aspart and insulin detemir

Drug: insulin detemir
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted. Administrated once or twice daily.

Drug: insulin aspart
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted.

Experimental: Post meal FIAsp and insulin detemir

Drug: insulin detemir
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted. Administrated once or twice daily.

Drug: Faster-acting insulin aspart
Injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin), dose individually adjusted. Post meal time dosing is defined as injecting 20 minutes after the start of the meal.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) [Week 0, week 26]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in 2-hour PPG (Postprandial Glucose) Increment (Meal Test) [Week 0, week 26]

    Change from baseline in 2-hour PPG increments after 26 weeks of randomised treatment (meal test).

  2. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Post Meal Arm) [Week 0, week 26]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c (post meal arm) after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

  3. Number of Treatment Emergent Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes [From baseline until week 26]

    Observed rate of treatment emergent severe or BG confirmed hypoglycaemic events per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE) from baseline until week 26. A hypoglycaemic episode was defined as treatment emergent if the onset of the episode was on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 1 day after the last day of randomised treatment. Severe or BG confirmed is an episode that is severe according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) classification (an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions) or BG confirmed by a PG value <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.

  4. Change From Baseline in Body Weight [Week 0, week 26]

    Change from baseline in body weight after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

  5. Frequency of Adverse Events [After 52 weeks of randomised treatment]

    All treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) from baseline until 52 weeks of randomised treatment. A TEAE was defined as an event that had an onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment, and no later than 7 days after the last day of randomised treatment.

  6. Change in HbA1c [Week 0, week 52]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c (%) after 52 weeks of randomised treatment.

  7. Change in PPG (Postprandial Glucose) [Week 0, week 52]

    Change from baseline in PPG and PPG increment (meal test) after 52 weeks of randomised treatment.

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details Out of 281 sites, selected for recruitment, 165 sites in 9 countries enrolled subjects in the run-in period, of which 163 sites later assigned subjects to randomised treatment: Belgium:5 sites, Canada:12 sites, Czech Republic:5 sites; Finland:6 sites; Germany:25 sites; Hungary:5 sites; Poland:6 sites; United Kingdom:9 sites; United States:92 sites.
Pre-assignment Detail Eligible subjects received once/twice daily insulin detemir and NovoRapid®/NovoLog® during 8 week run-in period. In total, 1290 subjects entered the run-in period, of those147 subjects were run-in failures. Hence 1143 subjects entered the 26-week treatment period followed by a 26 week additional treatment period.
Arm/Group Title Faster Aspart (Meal) Faster Aspart (Post) NovoRapid (Meal)
Arm/Group Description The subjects in this arm were administered mealtime faster aspart (100 U/mL) in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period + a 26-week additional treatment period. Mealtime faster aspart was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 0-2 minutes before each main meal. Subjects who, prior to screening, had used the principles of flexible dosing based on the meal carbohydrate content, and who were assessed by the investigator to be adequately trained in this method, were to continue using this method for bolus adjustment during the treatment period. All other subjects were to use a predefined bolus dosing algorithm to adjust the bolus dose during the treatment period. Additional bolus dosing was allowed at the investigator's recommendation. The subjects in this arm were administered postmeal faster aspart (100 U/mL) in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period. Postmeal faster aspart was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 20 minutes after the start of the meal. Subjects who, prior to screening, had used the principles of flexible dosing based on the meal carbohydrate content, and who were assessed by the investigator to be adequately trained in this method, were to continue using this method for bolus adjustment during the treatment period. All other subjects were to use a predefined bolus dosing algorithm to adjust the bolus dose during the treatment period. Additional bolus dosing was allowed at the investigator's recommendation. The subjects in this arm were administered mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog®, 100 U/mL in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period + a 26-week additional treatment period. Mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog® was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 0-2 minutes before each main meal. Subjects who, prior to screening, had used the principles of flexible dosing based on the meal carbohydrate content, and who were assessed by the investigator to be adequately trained in this method, were to continue using this method for bolus adjustment during the treatment period. All other subjects were to use a predefined bolus dosing algorithm to adjust the bolus dose during the treatment period. Additional bolus dosing was allowed at the investigator's recommendation.

Arm/Group Title Faster Aspart (Meal) Faster Aspart (Post) NovoRapid (Meal)
Arm/Group Description The subjects in this arm were administered mealtime faster aspart (100 U/mL) in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period + a 26-week additional treatment period. Mealtime faster aspart was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 0-2 minutes before each main meal. Subjects who, prior to screening, had used the principles of flexible dosing based on the meal carbohydrate content, and who were assessed by the investigator to be adequately trained in this method, were to continue using this method for bolus adjustment during the treatment period. All other subjects were to use a predefined bolus dosing algorithm to adjust the bolus dose during the treatment period. Additional bolus dosing was allowed at the investigator's recommendation. The subjects in this arm were administered postmeal faster aspart (100 U/mL) in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period. Postmeal faster aspart was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 20 minutes after the start of the meal. Subjects who, prior to screening, had used the principles of flexible dosing based on the meal carbohydrate content, and who were assessed by the investigator to be adequately trained in this method, were to continue using this method for bolus adjustment during the treatment period. All other subjects were to use a predefined bolus dosing algorithm to adjust the bolus dose during the treatment period. Additional bolus dosing was allowed at the investigator's recommendation. The subjects in this arm were administered mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog®, 100 U/mL in combination with once or twice daily insulin detemir (100 U/mL) in a basal-bolus regimen for an initial 26 weeks treatment period + a 26-week additional treatment period. Mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog® was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) 0-2 minutes before each main meal.
