- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To confirm the superiority of liraglutide at the maximum tolerated dose (0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg) versus placebo when added to in combination with metformin with or without basal insulin treatment in controlling glycaemia versus metformin and liraglutide placebo in children and adolescents (ages 10–17 years) with type 2 diabetes.;Secondary Objective: To assess and compare the effect of liraglutide versus placebo in combination with metformin with or without basal insulin treatment.;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 26
