Overview

Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes and moderate renal impairment.

The trial medication will be add-on to the subject's stable pre-trial OAD and/or insulin regimen.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with stable diabetes treatment (unchanged medication and unchanged dose) for 90 days prior to the screening visit including: Monotherapy or any duo-combinations of metformin and/or SUs and/or pioglitazone. Metformin should be used with caution in subjects with moderate renal failure and must be used in accordance with local metformin labelling or guidelines. Or Monotherapy or any combinations of metformin and/or pioglitazone and/or basal or premix insulin. Insulin adjustments (total daily dose) below or equal to 10% within 90 days prior to the screening visit as confirmed by the investigator are acceptable. Metformin should be used with caution in subjects with moderate renal failure and must be used in accordance with local metformin labelling or guidelines. Combination of pioglitazone and insulin should be used with caution and according to local labelling or guidelines
  • HbA1c 7-10% (both inclusive)
  • Moderate renal impairment diagnosed more than 90 days prior to the screening visit and confirmed by an eGFR (glomerular filtration rate) of 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 per MDRD (modification of diet in renal disease) formula at the screening visit
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) 20-45 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia or hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the investigator
  • Treatment with antidiabetic medication(s) other than stated in the inclusion criteria in a period of 90 days prior to screening. Previous short-term (below or equal to 7 days in total) treatment with rapid-or short-acting insulin in connection with intercurrent illness is allowed at the discretion of the investigator
  • Impaired liver function, defined as ALAT (alanine aminotransferase) above or equal to 2.5 times upper normal limit
  • History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis
  • Within the past 180 days any of the following: Episode of unstable angina, acute coronary event, cerebral stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) or other significant cardiovascular event (including e.g. arrhythmias or conduction delays on ECG (electrocardiogram))
  • Heart failure defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV
  • A systolic blood pressure above or equal to 180 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure above or equal to 100 mmHg
  • Rapidly progressing renal disease (e.g., acute glomerulonephritis) at the discretion of the investigator
  • Use of immunosuppressive treatment within 90 days prior to screening
  • Diagnosis or treatment for cancer in the previous 5 years (except basal cell skin cancer or squamous cell skin cancer)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Estimated Mean From the Statistical Model and Standard Deviation From Observed Data For Change From Baseline to Week 26 in HbA1c (%) (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)

Time Frame: Week 0, Week 26

Calculated as the estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c (%) after 26 Weeks of treatment based on the statistical model.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Estimated Proportion of Responders Achieving HbA1c <7.0% and no Weight Gain After 26 Weeks of Treatment(At week 26)
  • Estimated Proportion of Responders Achieving HbA1c <7.0% and no Minor or Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes After 26 Weeks of Treatment(At week 26)
  • Estimated Mean From the Statistical Model and Standard Deviation From Observed Data For Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Body Mass Index (BMI)(Week 0, week 26)
  • Estimated Mean From the Statistical Model and Standard Deviation From Observed Data For Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Self-measured Plasma Glucose (SMPG) 7-point Profiles(Week 0, week 26)
  • Estimated Mean Ratio to Baseline and Observed Coefficient of Variation in Renal Function-estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) (to Check How Well the Kidneys Are Functioning Using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Formula)(Week 0, week 26)
