E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over liraglutide in terms of percentage of patients reaching a HbA1c < 7% at the end of the comparative period in Type 2 diabetic patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The main secondary objectives of this study are to assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with liraglutide on:
- HbA1c level
- Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has decreased but remains ≥ 7% at the end of the comparative period
- Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has increased at the end of the comparative period
- Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
- 7-point Plasma Glucose (PG) profiles
- Hypoglycemia occurrence
- Body weight
- Adverse events
- Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs): DTSQs, DTSQc and ADDQoL
- Diabetes specific treatment costs
The objectives of the extension period are to assess the effect of insulin glargine in patients not adequately controlled with liraglutide on:
- HbA1c level
- FPG
- 7-point PG profiles
- Hypoglycemia occurrence
- Body weight
- Adverse events
- PROMs: DTSQs, DTSQc and ADDQoL |
