E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To confirm the efficacy of SIAC OD + metformin in controlling glycaemia with respect to change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment. This is done by comparing the difference in change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment between SIAC OD + metformin and insulin glargine OD + metformin to a non-inferiory limit of 0.4%, and if non-inferiority is confirmed to a superiority limit of 0%. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To confirm superiority of SIAC OD + metformin over insulin glargine OD + metformin after 26 weeks of treatment in terms of: • Prandial plasma glucose (PG) increment at breakfast • Fluctuation in nocturnal interstitial glucose (IG) • Frequency of responders for HbA1c (<7.0%) without hypoglycaemic episodes • Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes • Body weight To compare efficacy and safety after 26 weeks of treatment in terms of: • Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from central laboratory • 9-point self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) profile • Self measured plasma glucose for dose adjustments • Glucose profile as measured with CGM in a sub-population • Frequency of responders for HbA1c • Frequency of responders for HbA1c without hypoglycaemic episodes • Clinical and laboratory assessments • β-cell function • Cardiovascular risk (CV) markers • Adverse events (AEs) • Hypoglycaemic episodes • Insulin dose • Insulin antibodies • Patient reported outcome (PRO) |
