Lantus Versus NPH: Comparison in Insulin Naive People Not Adequately Controlled With at Least One Oral Anti Diabetics (OAD) Treatment

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Drug: Insulin Glargine (HOE901) [Lantus]
Drug: human insulin [NPH]
Registration Number
NCT00949442
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over insulin NPH (Neutral Protamin Hagedornon) the change in HbA1c from baseline to the end of the treatment period.

Secondary Objective:

To compare between treatment groups:

* Plasma glucose (fasting, nocturnal) over time,

* Changes from baseline in HbA1c over time,

* Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c \<7 and \<6.5,

* Use of prandial insulin as rescue medication at month 6,

* Incidence and rate of hypoglycemia (symptomatic diurnal and nocturnal, asymptomatic and severe),

* Daily dose of insulin,

* Change in body weight from baseline,

* Evolution of 8-point plasma-glucose (PG) profiles,

* Overall safety,

* Patient reported outcomes (treatment satisfaction).
