Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia and North America. The aim of this trial is to compare two insulin degludec (NN1250, SIBA) formulations with each other and with insulin glargine, all in combination with metformin in insulin naive subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. (Trial-related activities are any procedure that would not have been performed during normal management of the subject.)
  • Insulin naïve type 2 diabetes subjects (as diagnosed clinically) for at least 3 months (no previous insulin treatment or previous short term insulin treatment maximeum 14 days within the last 3 months)
  • Treatment with one or two oral anti-diabetic drug (OADs): metformin, sulphonylurea (SU) (or other insulin secretagogue e.g. repaglinide, nateglinide), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors for at least 2 months at a stable maximally tolerated dose or at least half maximally allowed dose according to the summary of product characteristics (SPC) or locally approved PI
  • HbA1c 7.0-11.0 % (both inclusive)
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) 23-42 kg/m^2 [lb/in^2 x 703] (both inclusive)

Exclusion Criteria
  • Metformin contraindication according to local practice
  • Thiazolidinedione (TZD) treatment within previous three months prior to visit 1
  • Any systemic treatment with products which in the Investigator's opinion could interfere with glucose or lipid metabolism (e.g. systemic corticosteroids) three months prior to randomisation
  • Subject has a clinically significant, active (during the past 12 months) disease of the gastrointestinal, pulmonary, neurological, genitourinary, or haematological system (except for conditions associated with type 2 diabetes) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may confound the results of the trial or pose additional risk in administering trial drug

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)Week 0, Week 16

Change from baseline in HbA1c after 16 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Laboratory Safety Parameters (Biochemistry): Serum CreatinineWeek -4, Week 16

Mean values at Week -4 and at Week 16

Rate of Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 16 + 5 days follow up

Rate of major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

Laboratory Safety Parameters (Biochemistry): Alanine Aminotransferase (ALAT)Week -4, Week 16

Mean values at Week -4 and at Week 16

Laboratory Safety Parameters (Biochemistry): Aspartate Aminotransferase (ASAT)Week -4, Week 16

Mean values at Week -4 and at Week 16

Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG)Week 16

Mean of SMPG after 16 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 120 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 120 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 120 minutes after start of dinner, before bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.

Rate of Nocturnal Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 16 + 5 days follow up

Rate of nocturnal major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Episodes were defined as nocturnal if the time of onset was between 23:00 (included) and 05:59 (included).

Vital Signs: Diastolic Blood Pressure (BP)Week 0, Week 16

Mean values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 16

Rate of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Week 0 to Week 16 + 5 days follow up

Corresponds to rate of AEs per 100 patient years of exposure. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Vital Signs: PulseWeek 0, Week 16

Mean values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 16

Physical ExaminationWeek -4, Week 0, Week 8, Week 16

Physical examination was performed at screening (Week -4), randomisation (Week 0) and after 8 and 16 weeks of treatment. If any new findings or deterioration in previous findings were observed during the trial, these were recorded as AEs and are therefore not presented separately as no analysis was performed.

Vital Signs: Systolic Blood Pressure (BP)Week 0, Week 16

Mean values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 16
