Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart) with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes in Japan. Depending on pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs), subjects continued at the same dose and dosing frequency.

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

Observed change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Increment of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG) at the Main Evening MealWeek 26

Observed mean increment of the 9-point self-measured plasma glucose profile (SMPG) at the main evening meal

Rate of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 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.

Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

Observed rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

Observed rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.

Change in Body WeightWeek 0, Week 26

Observed change from baseline in body weight after 26 weeks of treatment
