Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec and insulin glargine 300 units/mL in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately treated with basal insulin with or without oral antidiabetic drugs. Due to change in glycaemic data collection process, this trial is amended to allow for a full 36 weeks (maintenance 2 period) of the use of the new process.

    Participants achieving target HbA1c of less than 7.0% at the end of treatment (88 weeks) without severe or BG-confirmed hypoglycaemia during maintenance 2 (36 weeks).

  9. Percentage of Participants With HbA1c < 7.0% (53 mmol/Mol) at End of Treatment (up to 88 Weeks) and no Nocturnal, Severe or BG-confirmed Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes During Maintenance 2 (36 Weeks) (Yes/no) [At 88 weeks]

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details The trial was conducted at 230 sites in 11 countries as follows. Number of sites that screened and randomised participants to treatment are given in parenthesis. Canada:(9/9), Denmark: (6/6), Estonia: (5/5), Germany: (11 /11), Greece: (7/7), Hungary: (9/9), Norway: (4/4), Poland: (9/9), Romania: (5/4), Serbia: (8/8), United States: (157/153).
Pre-assignment Detail The participants were previously treated with basal insulin once daily or twice daily ± oral anti-diabetic drugs excluding sulfonylureas/glinides. Pre-trial insulin was discontinued and the subjects continued their pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs).
Arm/Group Title Insulin Degludec U200 Insulin Glargine U300
Arm/Group Description Participants received insulin degludec 200 units/mL once daily as subcutaneous injections (in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen) ± oral anti-diabetic drugs. The daily basal insulin dose was reduced by 20% from their pre-trial dose. Insulin dose was adjusted once weekly by the investigator, based on the mean of three fasting self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values, to reach a SMPG of 4.0-5.0 mmol/L (71-90 mg/dL). The treatment duration was up to 88 weeks divided into; a 16-week titration period, an up to 36-week maintenance period 1 (variable length) and a 36-week maintenance period 2. Participants received insulin glargine 300 units/mL once daily as subcutaneous injections (in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen) ± pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs. The dose of IGlar U300 corresponded to the pre-trial daily basal insulin dose. Insulin dose was adjusted once weekly by the investigator, based on the mean of three fasting SMPG values, to reach a SMPG of 4.0-5.0 mmol/L (71-90 mg/dL). The treatment duration was up to 88 weeks divided into; a 16-week titration period, an up to 36-week maintenance period 1 (variable length) and a 36-week maintenance period 2.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Insulin Degludec 200, Insulin Glargine U300
Comments The number of episodes is analysed using a negative binomial regression model (log link) with the logarithm of the time period in which a hypoglycaemic episode was considered treatment emergent as offset. The model includes treatment, number of OADs, region, sex and dosing time as fixed factors, and age as a covariate. Missing values are imputed through multiple imputation by treatment arm, based on a Poisson model.

Arm/Group Description Participants received insulin degludec 200 units/mL once daily as subcutaneous injections (in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen) ± oral anti-diabetic drugs. The daily basal insulin dose was reduced by 20% from their pre-trial dose. Insulin dose was adjusted once weekly by the investigator, based on the mean of three fasting self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values, to reach a SMPG of 4.0-5.0 mmol/L (71-90 mg/dL). The treatment duration was up to 88 weeks divided into; a 16-week titration period, an up to 36-week maintenance period 1 (variable length) and a 36-week maintenance period 2. Participants received insulin glargine 300 units/mL once daily as subcutaneous injections (in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen) ± pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs. The dose of IGlar U300 corresponded to the pre-trial daily basal insulin dose. Insulin dose was adjusted once weekly by the investigator, based on the mean of three fasting SMPG values, to reach a SMPG of 4.0-5.0 mmol/L (71-90 mg/dL). The treatment duration was up to 88 weeks divided into; a 16-week titration period, an up to 36-week maintenance period 1 (variable length) and a 36-week maintenance period 2.
