Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Liraglutide 0.6 mg + insulin

Drug: liraglutide
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Experimental: Liraglutide 1.2 mg + insulin

Drug: liraglutide
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Experimental: Liraglutide 1.8 mg + insulin

Drug: liraglutide
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Placebo Comparator: Liraglutide placebo 0.6 mg + insulin

Drug: placebo
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Placebo Comparator: Liraglutide placebo 1.2 mg + insulin

Drug: placebo
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Placebo Comparator: Liraglutide placebo 1.8 mg + insulin

Drug: placebo
Subjects randomised to 0.6 mg liraglutide treatment or liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will remain on this dose throughout the study (52 weeks). Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) [Week 0, week 52]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c at week 52. Missing values were handled by using a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight [Week 0, week 52]

    Change from baseline in body weight at week 52. Missing values were handled by using a MMRM.

  3. Change From Baseline in Total Daily Insulin Dose [Week 0, week 52]

    Change from baseline in total daily insulin dose at week 52. Change from baseline was represented in terms of ratio to baseline for insulin dose i.e. Total daily insulin dose at week 52/total daily insulin dose at baseline. Missing values were handled by using a MMRM.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Treatment-emergent Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes [Weeks 0-52]

    This is a confirmatory secondary endpoint. Symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as: 1) 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 2) Self-monitoring of plasma glucose value of <3.1 mmol/L, with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. A treatment emergent episode is defined as an episode with onset date (or increase in severity) on or after first day of exposure to randomised treatment and up to last dose + 7 days.

Pre-assignment Detail Eligible subjects were randomised in a 3:3:3:1:1:1 manner to receive liraglutide (0.6 mg, 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg) or placebo (0.1 mL, 0.2 mL or 0.3 mL), both adjunct to insulin treatment.
Arm/Group Title Liraglutide 0.6 mg Liraglutide 1.2 mg Liraglutide 1.8 mg Placebo
Arm/Group Description Subjects received liraglutide 0.6 mg once daily (OD) subcutaneously for 52 weeks in addition to their pre-trial insulin treatment. Subjects received liraglutide 0.6 mg OD subcutaneously for 2 weeks followed by 1.2 mg OD subcutaneously up to week 52 in addition to their pre-trial insulin treatment. Liraglutide 0.6 mg OD subcutaneously for 2 weeks followed by 1.2 mg OD subcutaneously for 2 weeks (weeks 2-4) followed by 1.8 mg OD subcutaneously up to week 52 in addition to their pre-trial insulin treatment. Subjects received placebo (matched to liraglutide 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg) OD subcutaneously as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment. Placebo 0.1 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 0.6 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL liraglutide placebo for 52 weeks. Placebo 0.2 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 1.2 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL up to week 52. Placebo 0.3 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 1.8 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL for next 2 weeks and 0.3 mL up to week 52. All the 3 placebo doses were pooled for data analysis.

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Treatment-emergent Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Description This is a confirmatory secondary endpoint. Symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as: 1) 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 2) Self-monitoring of plasma glucose value of <3.1 mmol/L, with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. A treatment emergent episode is defined as an episode with onset date (or increase in severity) on or after first day of exposure to randomised treatment and up to last dose + 7 days.
Time Frame Weeks 0-52
