Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the noninferiority in the efficacy of Toujeo® to Tresiba® in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from Baseline to Week 24.

Secondary Objectives:

Change From Baseline in HbA1c to Week 12

To assess the effects of the insulin Toujeo® in comparison with insulin Tresiba® at week 12 and week 24 on:

* Change in Fasting plasma glucose (FPG);

* Change in Fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) and 4-point SMPG and 8-point SMPG profile;

* Percentage of participants reaching HbA1c targets \<7% or ≤6.5%;

* Percentage of participants reaching HbA1c targets \<7% or ≤6.5% without severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia

* Frequency of occurrence and diurnal distribution of hypoglycemia by American Diabetes Association (ADA) category of hypoglycemia.

To assess the safety in each treatment group.

To assess the treatment effects in each treatment group on Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO).

Percentage of participants requiring rescue therapy.

Detailed Description

The maximum study duration per participant was approximately 27 weeks: an up to 2-week screening period, a 24-week randomized treatment period (including 12 weeks active titration), and a 7-day posttreatment safety follow-up period.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in HbA1c to Week 24Baseline, Week 24

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. Adjusted Least Square (LS) means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data, using all post-baseline HbA1c data available during the 24-week on-treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Variability of 24-Hour 8-Point SMPG Profiles at Week 12 and Week 24Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM.

Percentage of Participants Reaching Target HbA1c of < 7% and =<6.5% at Week 12 and Week 24Week 12, and Week 24

Only the post-baseline HbA1c measurements before rescue and during the 12 week and 24-week on-treatment period were considered in the analysis.

Change From Baseline in HbA1c to Week 12Baseline, Week 12

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 value. Adjusted least square means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with MMRM.

Change From Baseline in 24-hour Average 8-point SMPG Profile to Week 12 and Week 24Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

The 8-point SMPG profile was measured at the following 8 points: 03:00 at night, pre-breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, pre-lunch, 2 hours after lunch, pre-dinner, 2 hours after dinner, and bedtime. Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM.

Percentage of Participants Reaching Target HbA1c <7% and =<6.5% at Week 12 and Week 24 Without Severe and/or Confirmed Hypoglycemia (70 mg/dL) EventWeek 12, and Week 24

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed by plasma glucose =\<3.9 mmol/L (=\<70 mg/dL).

Hypoglycemia (Any, Severe and/or Confirmed Hypoglycemia: Any Time of the Day) Event Rate Per Participant Year During Study PeriodDay 1-Week 12, Week 13-Week 24, and 24 Week Period

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed with plasma glucose =\<70 mg/dL (=\<3.9 mmol/L), or \< 54 mg/dL (\<3.0 mmol/L).

Change From Baseline in Variability of Fasting SMPG to Week 12 and Week 24Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM. Variability was assessed by the mean of coefficient of variation calculated over at least 3 SMPG measured during the 7 days preceding the given visit.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) to Week 12 and Week 24Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 and Week 24 value. Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM including post baseline values during the 24-week on-treatment period.

Change From Baseline in Basal Insulin Dose (U/kg Body Weight) to Week 12 and Week 24Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

Only the insulin dose measurements performed before initiation of rescue therapy and during the on-treatment period were considered in the analysis.

Percentage of Participants Requiring a Rescue Therapy During 24 Weeks Treatment PeriodBaseline to Week 24

Routine fasting SMPG and central laboratory FPG (and HbA1c after Week 12) values were used to determine the requirement of rescue medication. Threshold values at Week 12: FPG \>200 mg/dL (11 mmol/L), or HbA1c \>8.5%.
