    The Effect of Insulin Degludec in Combination With Liraglutide and Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Qualifying for Treatment Intensification

    NCT01664247

    1 Oct 2012 to 31 Dec 2013

Registry summary

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

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effect of insulin degludec (IDeg) in combination with liraglutide (Lira) and metformin (at least 1500 mg daily or maximum tolerated dose) in subjects with type 2 diabetes qualifying for treatment intensification.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes(8)
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in FPG after 26 weeks of treatment

  2. Number of Responders for HbA1c (Below 7.0 %)

    Time frame · After 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

    Registry description

    Number of responders for HbA1c below 7.0%, after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

  3. Change From Baseline in Mean Pre-breakfast Measurements Used for Titration

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Change from baseline after 26 weeks of treatment in the average of the pre-breakfast self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) measured on the day of the contact and the two days immediately prior to the contact. The least squares means presented are the estimated values after 26 weeks of treatment and the statistical analysis presents the treatment difference of the change from baseline values as the model is adjusted for baseline.

  4. Change From Baseline in 8-point Profile

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    The change from baseline in the 8-point SMPG profile after 26 weeks of randomised treatment. The least squares means presented are the estimated values after 26 weeks of treatment and the statistical analysis presents the treatment difference of the change from baseline values as the model is adjusted for baseline.

  5. Change From Baseline in Mean of the 8-point Profile

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in mean of the 8-point profile after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

  6. Number of Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Time frame · Weeks 0 - 26

    Registry description

    Number of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes from week 0 to 26 weeks of randomised treatment. A hypoglycaemic episode was defined as treatment emergent if the onset of the episode occurred after the first administration of investigational medicinal product and no later than 7 days after the last day on trial product. Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia or minor hypoglycaemic episodes.

  7. Number of Adverse Events

    Time frame · Weeks 0 - 26

    Registry description

    Number of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) from week 0 to week 26 of the randomised treatment. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days after the last day of randomised treatment.

  8. Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Health-related Quality of Life Using the Short-Form 36 Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36®v2)

    Time frame · Week 0, week 26

    Registry description

    Change in subject's quality of life was evaluated using the Short-Form 36 Health Survey version 2 (SF-36®v2). Evaluations were performed at baseline and at the last treatment visit (week 26). SF-36 was assessed on a scale range of 0.65 to 80.73 for physical health and -8.81 to 81.65 for mental health respectively, where higher scores indicated a better quality of life. 0-100 scores from the SF-36 were converted to a norm-based score using a T-score transformation in order to obtain a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 1998 U.S. general population.

IDegLiraglutide treatment was initiated on 0.6 mg daily for one week and increased further after the second week in the run-in period. In the randomized period, Insulin degludec (IDeg, 100 U/mL, in a 3 mL prefilled pen PDS290) treatment was recommended to be initiated and administered subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily (OD) with 10 units. After that it was titrated once weekly. If one or more of the pre-breakfast plasma glucose values were below a certain range, the subjects were to reduce the insulin dose. Subjects continued on metformin (1500/day) treatment at the stable, pre-trial dose and maintained dosing frequency levels throughout the trial period.–6 / 17333 / 173
PlaceboPlacebo treatment (3 mL prefilled pen) in combination with Liraglutide (Lira,1.8 mg/daily, 3 mL prefilled pen) once daily was given subcutaneously (under the skin) in the thigh, abdomen or upper arm (deltoid) at any time of the day according to the subject's choice for 26 weeks of treatment period. Subjects continued on metformin (1500/day) treatment at the stable, pre-trial dose and maintained dosing frequency levels throughout the trial period.–9 / 17032 / 170
