Registration Number
NCT06269107
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This study will compare the new medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, taken once a week, to insulin glargine (mentioned as insulin glargine in this form) taken daily in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well IcoSema controls blood sugar levels as compared to insulin glargine in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have their blood sugar properly controlled with other oral diabetes medicines. Participant will either get IcoSema or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. IcoSema is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. Doctors can already prescribe insulin glargine in many countries. The study will last for about 11 months (47 weeks).

  • Anticipated initiation or change in concomitant medication (for more than 14 consecutive days) known to affect weight or glucose metabolism (e.g. treatment with orlistat, thyroid hormones, or systemic corticosteroids).
  • Any episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis or treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 90 days before screening.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)From baseline (week 0) to week 40

Measured in percentage (%)-point.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time spent greater than (>) 10.0 mmol/L (180 mg/dL)From week 36 to week 40

Measured in % of readings.

Time in range 3.9-10.0 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (70-180 milligram per deciliter [mg/dL])From week 36 to week 40

Measured in % of readings.

Change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to week 40

Measured in kilogram (kg).

Time spent less than (<) 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL)From week 36 to week 40

Measured in % of readings.

Weekly basal insulin doseFrom week 38 to week 40

Measured in units of insulin.

Change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG)From baseline (week 0) to week 40

Measured in mmol/l.

Number of clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2) (<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL), confirmed by BG meter)From baseline (week 0) to week 45

Measured in number of episodes.

Change in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQs) in total treatment satisfactionFrom baseline (week 0) to week 40

The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 0 to 6. Score ranges from 0 to 36. Higher scores indicate greater the satisfaction with medication.

Measured in number of episodes.

Number of severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3)From baseline (week 0) to week 45

Measured in number of episodes.
