    14 Jun 2012 to 20 Aug 2013

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

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.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. 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

    Registry description

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

Secondary outcomes(5)
  1. Estimated Proportion of Responders Achieving HbA1c <7.0% and no Weight Gain After 26 Weeks of Treatment

    Time frame · At week 26

    Registry description

    Calculated as estimated percentage of subjects achieving HbA1c \<7.0% and no weight gain after 26 weeks of treatment based on the statistical model.

  2. Estimated Proportion of Responders Achieving HbA1c <7.0% and no Minor or Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes After 26 Weeks of Treatment

    Time frame · At week 26

    Registry description

    Calculated as estimated percentage of subjects achieving HbA1c \<7.0% and no minor or severe hypoglycaemic episodes observed within 26 weeks of treatment based on the statistical model.

  3. 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

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    SMPG was measured before and 90 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime at Week 0, 12 and 26. A summary measure of the 7 values was derived for each applicable visit as the area under the curve divided by the period of time elapsed between the first and last measurement. The change from baseline to week 26 was estimated using the statistical model.

  4. Estimated Mean From the Statistical Model and Standard Deviation From Observed Data For Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Calculated as estimated mean change in BMI (kg/m˄2) from baseline to Week 26 based on the statistical model.

  5. 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)

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Calculated as the estimated ratio to baseline in eGFR (mL/min/1.73m˄2) after 26 Weeks of treatment based on the statistical model.
