E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Investigate the impact of insulin glargine vs. NPH basal insulin on a composite diabetes related quality of life score (DRQoL), consisting of a standardized and unweighted Insulin Treatment Experience Questionnaire Score (ITEQ), the Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire score (PAID) and the mental health score of the SF 12® Health Survey (SF 12®). The treatments consist of a combination therapy of oral antidiabetic agents and either insulin glargine or NPH basal insulin |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Comparison of combination therapy with insulin glargine vs. NPH basal insulin from baseline to endpoint in terms of:
- Glycaemic parameters: change in HbA1c, fasting
blood glucose, 7 point glucose profile, total daily
insulin dose at endpoints
- Incidence of confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia
(ADA criteria) as well as confirmed severe
hypoglycemia (third party assistance, according to
ADA criteria)
- Change in lipid status (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL,
triglycerides), change in body weight
- Health Assessment, Patient treatment satisfaction and
Quality-of-Life
