Comparison of a Basal Plus One Insulin Regimen With a Biphasic Insulin Regimen in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Drug: INSULIN GLARGINE (HOE901)
Registration Number
NCT00965549
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority at six months of a basal plus one insulin regimen (Lantus plus one injection of Apidra) compared with a biphasic insulin regimen (NovoMix 30) at controlling glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes.

The secondary objective are:

* To compare the proportion of patients in each treatment group reaching HbA1c target (\< 7%) at the end of the treatment period

* To compare the rates of hypoglycaemia (total, severe, nocturnal)

* To compare the change in body weight from visit 10 to visit 24

* To compare the change in diabetes specific quality of life and other patient reported outcomes from visit 10 to visit 24

* Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status and change (DTSQs+c)

* Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire

* Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ)

* EuroQoL 5 Dimensions (EQ5D) questionnaire

* To record the change in the daily dose of insulin from visit 2 to visit 10 and visit 10 to visit 24

Lantus + Apidra basal plus oneInsulin GlulisineBefore randomization (common with arm 2): A 1 to 2 weeks of screening period: patients will continue on their current insulin and oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) therapy. 8 weeks of run-in period: patients will switch their treatment for insulin glargine (one daily injection at bedtime) and all OADs (with the exception of metformin) will be discontinued. After randomization: 24 weeks of treatment period: Insulin (Lantus®) + metformin (if applicable) + a single injection of insulin glulisine (Apidra®), the latter administered at the patients largest meal of the day
