Primary outcomes3

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)

    Time frame · Week 0, week 52

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in HbA1c at week 52. Missing values were handled by using a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight

    Time frame · Week 0, week 52

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in body weight at week 52. Missing values were handled by using a MMRM.

  3. Change From Baseline in Total Daily Insulin Dose

    Time frame · Week 0, week 52

    Registry description

    Change from baseline in total daily insulin dose at week 52. Change from baseline was represented in terms of ratio to baseline for insulin dose i.e. Total daily insulin dose at week 52/total daily insulin dose at baseline. Missing values were handled by using a MMRM.

Secondary outcomes(1)
  1. Number of Treatment-emergent Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Time frame · Weeks 0-52

    Registry description

    This is a confirmatory secondary endpoint. Symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as: 1) Severe according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) classification: An episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. OR 2) Self-monitoring of plasma glucose value of \<3.1 mmol/L, with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. A treatment emergent episode is defined as an episode with onset date (or increase in severity) on or after first day of exposure to randomised treatment and up to last dose + 7 days.

PlaceboSubjects received placebo (matched to liraglutide 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 mg) OD subcutaneously as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment. Placebo 0.1 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 0.6 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL liraglutide placebo for 52 weeks. Placebo 0.2 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 1.2 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL up to week 52. Placebo 0.3 mL (placebo matched to liraglutide 1.8 mg): Subjects received 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL for next 2 weeks and 0.3 mL up to week 52. All the 3 placebo doses were pooled for data analysis.–38 / 348224 / 348
