PRO questionnaire (SF-36v2™) measured the HRQoL which contains 36 items covering 8 domains of physical and mental health status. The raw scale scores from the SF-36 were transformed to a 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better health status) which is further converted to norm-based scores using a T-score transformation in order to obtain a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 reference population . The total/overall (SF-36v2™) scores for physical and mental health from baseline to week 26 are presented here.

  32. Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) After 26 Weeks: Summary Scores of Treatment Related Impact Measure for Diabetes (TRIM-D) [After 26 weeks]

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details The trial was conducted at 74 sites in 11 countries as follows: Argentina (3), Canada (5), Finland (6), Hungary (5), India (8), Russian Federation (7), Slovakia (5), Slovenia (4), Spain (6), Switzerland (5) and United States (20).
Pre-assignment Detail Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus on oral anti-diabetic drug (OAD) therapy with stable daily dose of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) either as monotherapy or in combination with metformin ± dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) ± pioglitazone according to locally approved label for at least 90 days prior to screening.
Arm/Group Title IDegLira IGlar
Arm/Group Description Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 U/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values that were measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L [72 - 90 mg/dL]). The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50 U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern. Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L [72 - 90 mg/dL]). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)
Description The mean change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c values evaluated after 26 weeks of randomised treatment. The results presented included retrieved data at week 26 for subjects who prematurely discontinued the trial product.
Time Frame Week 0, Week 26

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The FAS included all randomised subjects. The statistical evaluation of the FAS followed the intent-to-treat (ITT) principle and subjects contributed to the evaluation "as randomised". Number analysed = Number of subjects contributed to the analysis at baseline and week 26.
Arm/Group Title IDegLira IGlar
Arm/Group Description Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 U/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values that were measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L [72 - 90 mg/dL]). The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50 U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern. Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L [72 - 90 mg/dL]). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label.

Title Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) After 26 Weeks: Summary Scores of Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36v2)
Description The Short Form (SF)-36v2™ patient reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire was used to assess the subject's overall health related quality of life (HRQoL). PRO questionnaire (SF-36v2™) measured the HRQoL which contains 36 items covering 8 domains of physical and mental health status. The raw scale scores from the SF-36 were transformed to a 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better health status) which is further converted to norm-based scores using a T-score transformation in order to obtain a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 reference population . The total/overall (SF-36v2™) scores for physical and mental health from baseline to week 26 are presented here.
