A Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Degludec/Liraglutide, Insulin Degludec and Liraglutide in Japanese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Change from baseline (week 0) in body weight after 52 weeks of treatment.

Treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episode is defined as an event that had onset date on or after the first day of trial product administration, and no later than 7 days after the last day on trial product. Severe or BG confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were severe according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) classification or BG confirmed by a plasma glucose value \< 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. Severe hypoglycaemia according to the ADA definition: an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose concentrations may not be available during an event, but neurological recovery following the return of plasma glucose to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration.

Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c after 52 weeks of treatment was measured. Statistical analysis was performed to test the hypothesis: superiority of IDegLira vs. IDeg.

Treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episode is defined as an event that had onset date on or after the first day of trial product administration, and no later than 7 days after the last day on trial product. Severe or BG confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were severe according to the ADA classification or BG confirmed by a plasma glucose value \< 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.

Change from baseline (week 0) in waist circumference after 52 weeks of treatment.

Change from baseline in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) after 52 weeks of treatment.

Subjects were instructed to measure their plasma glucose at following timepoints: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, at bedtime, at 4:00 a.m. and before breakfast the following day.

Subjects were instructed to measure their plasma glucose at following timepoints: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, at bedtime, at 4:00 a.m. and before breakfast the following day. Mean of the 9-point profile was defined as the area under the profile (calculated using the trapezoidal method) divided by the measurement time.

Subjects were instructed to measure their plasma glucose at following timepoints: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, at bedtime, at 4:00 a.m. and before breakfast the following day. The mean increment over all meals was derived as the mean of all available meal increments.

Total cholesterol after 52 weeks of treatment was represented as ratio to baseline (week 0) values.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol after 52 weeks of treatment was represented as ratio to baseline (week 0) values.
