Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study compares insulin 287 (a possible new medicine) to insulin glargine (a medicine doctors can already prescribe) in people with type 2 diabetes. Different ways of switching from the insulin which the participants are already on to insulin 287 are also compared. This is done to find the best way to switch to insulin 287. The participants will either get insulin 287 that they will have to inject once a week or insulin glargine that they will have to inject once a day. Which treatment any participant gets is decided by chance. The study will last for about 5 months (23 weeks). The participants will have 14 clinic visits and 6 phone calls with the study doctor. At 3 of the clinic visits participants will be asked not to eat or drink anything (except for water) in the last 8 hours before the visit. During the study, the doctor will ask the participants to: 1) measure their blood sugar every day with a blood sugar meter using a finger prick; 2) write down different information in a diary daily and return this to their study doctor. 3) wear a medical device (sensor) that measures the participants blood sugar all the time for 18 weeks (about 4 months) during the study.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Time in Target Range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 Milligrams Per Deciliter (mg/dL)) Measured Using CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) [During the last 2 weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16)]

      The percentage of time spent in glycaemic target range was calculated as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in glycaemic target range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL), both inclusive divided by the total number of recorded measurements. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Estimated mean change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c at week 16 is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).

    2. Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Estimated mean change from baseline (week 0) in FPG at week 16 is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).

    3. Change in Body Weight [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Estimated mean change from baseline (week 0) in body weight at week 16 is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).

    4. Weekly Insulin Dose [During the last 2 weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16)]

      Estimated mean average weekly insulin dose during the last 2 weeks of treatment is presented. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication).

    5. Number of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 21 (V20)]

      An adverse event(AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject administered or using a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or usage.. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. The on-treatment observation period was the time period from first dose of trial product until the follow-up visit or the last date on trial product + 5 weeks for once daily insulin and +6 weeks for once weekly insulin. Safety analysis set (SAS) included all subjects exposed to at least one dose of trial product.

    6. Number of Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 3) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery. Number of severe hypoglycaemic episodes that occurred during weeks 0-16 are presented.

    7. Number of Clinically Significant Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 2) (Below 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL), Confirmed by BG Meter) or Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Level 3) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2) were defined as episodes that were sufficiently low to indicate serious, clinically important hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose value of <3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL). Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery. Number of clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2), confirmed by blood glucose (BG)meter or severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) that occured during weeks 0-16 are presented.

    8. Number of Hypoglycaemic Alert Episodes(Level 1) (Greater Than or Equal to 3.0 and Below 3.9 mmol/L (Greater Than or Equal to 54 and Below 70 mg/dL), Confirmed by BG Meter) [From baseline week 0 (V2) to week 16 (V18)]

      Hypoglycaemia alert value (level 1) was defined as episodes that were sufficiently low for treatment with fast-acting carbohydrate and dose adjustment of glucose-lowering therapy. Number of hypoglycaemic alert episodes (level 1) (equal to or above 3.0 and below 3.9 mmol/L (equal to or above 54 and below 70 mg/dL), confirmed by BG meter) that occured during weeks 0-16 are presented.

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The trial was conducted at 34 sites in 5 countries as follows: Canada (10), Italy (5), Czech Republic (4), Germany (5) and the United States (10). In addition, 3 sites in the United states and 1 site in Germany screened, but didn't randomise any subjects.
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants were randomised to receive once weekly insulin 287 using any of 2 different switch approaches or once daily insulin glargine; as an add-on to background therapy with basal insulin analogue with metformin, with or without dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and with or without sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) at stable, pre-trial dose and at same frequency during the entire treatment period unless due to safety concerns related to the background medication.
    Arm/Group Title Insulin 287 (Without Loading Dose) Insulin 287 (With 100% Loading Dose) Insulin Glargine U100
    Arm/Group Description Participants were to receive once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial basal insulin dose of the respective participants ('unit to unit switch' approach: current daily dose x 7). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG). The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 28 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 28 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%. Participants were to receive once weekly s.c. injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial basal insulin dose of the respective participants with additional loading dose ('unit to unit switch with an additional 100% loading dose' approach: current daily dose x 7 x 2). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 28 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 28 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%. Participants were to receive once daily s.c. injection of insulin glargine U100 for 16 weeks, using SoloSTAR prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose same as the pre-trial basal insulin. Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 4 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 4 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%.

    Arm/Group Description Participants were to receive once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial basal insulin dose of the respective participants ('unit to unit switch' approach: current daily dose x 7). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG). The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 28 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 28 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%. Participants were to receive once weekly s.c. injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial basal insulin dose of the respective participants with additional loading dose ('unit to unit switch with an additional 100% loading dose' approach: current daily dose x 7 x 2). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 28 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 28 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%. Participants were to receive once daily s.c. injection of insulin glargine U100 for 16 weeks, using SoloSTAR prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose same as the pre-trial basal insulin. Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 millimoles per litre (mmol/L): dose reduced by 4 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 4 U. If the participant received a twice-daily regimen with any basal insulin analogue or a once-daily regimen with insulin glargine U300 prior to randomisation, the total daily insulin dose prior to randomisation was reduced by 20%.
