A Randomised Trial Comparing Efficacy and Safety After Intensification With Either Insulin Aspart Once Daily as add-on or Changing to Basal Bolus Treatment With Insulin Degludec and Insulin Aspart in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Previously Treated With Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart Twice Daily

Registration Number
NCT01814137
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to compare efficacy of insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) twice daily (BID) + insulin aspart (IAsp) once daily (OD) versus basal bolus with insulin degludec (IDeg) OD + IAsp three times a day (TID) in controlling glycaemia by evaluating glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). The trial is an extension to trial NN5401-3941 (NCT01680341).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)Week 0, week 26

Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Treatment Emergent Hypoglycaemic EpisodesDuring 26 weeks of treatment

Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that are either:

* severe (i.e., an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions) or

* biochemically confirmed by a PG value of \<3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL), with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)During 26 weeks of treatment

A treatment emergent adverse event was defined as an event that had onset date on or after the first day of trial product administration, and no later than 7 days after the last dose of the trial product.

Number of Treatment Emergent Nocturnal (00:01-05:59) Confirmed Hypoglycaemic EpisodesDuring 26 weeks of treatment

Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as nocturnal if the time of onset was between 00:01 and 05:59 hours inclusive. Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as severe hypoglycaemic episodes and/or a measured PG below 3.1 mmol/L (below 56 mg/dL).

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)Week 0, week 26

Change from baseline in FPG after 26 weeks of treatment. FPG was analysed on blood samples from fasting subjects which were analysed centrally.
