| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To confirm the efficacy of insulin degludec/liraglutide in controlling glycaemia in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
This is done by comparing the difference in change in HbA1c from baseline after 26 weeks of treatment to a non-inferiority limit of 0.3% for insulin degludec/liraglutide vs insulin degludec and to a superiority limit of 0% for insulin degludec/liraglutide vs liraglutide. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/liraglutide vs insulin degludec after 26 weeks of treatment on either weight control, hypoglycaemic episodes, glycaemic control in relation to a meal, or glycaemic control as indirectly measured by daily dose of insulin degludec
• To compare general efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide, insulin degludec and liraglutide after 26 and 52 weeks of treatment
• To confirm the efficacy of insulin degludec/liraglutide in controlling glycaemia in subjects with type 2 diabetes after 52 weeks of treatment

Title: Sub-study Addendum NN9068-3697
Date: 15 December 2010
Version: 2.0
Objectives: To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/liraglutide vs insulin degludec after 52 weeks of treatment on glycaemic control in relation to a meal and to compare general efficacy and safety of degludec/liraglutide, insulin degludec and liraglutide after 52 weeks of treatment

| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Subjects with type 2 diabetes
• HbA1c 7.0-10.0 % (both inclusive) with the aim of a median HbA1c of 8.3%. Accordingly, when approximately 50% of the randomised subjects have a HbA1c above 8.3%, the remaining subjects randomised must have a HbA1c of below or equal to 8.3%, or when approximately 50% of the randomised subjects have a HbA1c of below or equal to 8.3%, the remaining subjects randomised must have a HbA1c above 8.3%
• Male or female, age 18 years or above
• Subjects on stable dose of 1-2 OADs (metformin [≥ 1500 mg or max tolerated dose] or metformin [≥ 1500 mg or max tolerated dose] + pioglitazone [≥ 30 mg]) for at least 90 days prior to screening
• BMI ≤ 40 kg/m^2 |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Treatment with insulin (except for short-term treatment due to intercurrent illness at the discretion of the Investigator)
• Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists (eg exenatide, liraglutide), sulphonylurea or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors within 90 days prior to trial
• Impaired liver function, defined as alanine aminotransferese (ALAT) ≥ 2.5 times Upper Normal Range (UNR) (one retest analysed at the central laboratory within a week from first sample taken is permitted with the result of the last sample being the conclusive)
• Impaired renal function defined as serum-creatinine ≥ 133 μmol/l (≥ 1.5 mg/dl) for males and ≥ 125 μmol/l (≥ 1.4) for females, or as allowed according to local contraindications for metformin (one retest analysed at the central laboratory within a week from first sample taken is permitted with the result of the last sample being the conclusive)
• Screening calcitonin ≥ 50 ng/L
• Subjects with personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2)
• Cardiac disorder defined as: congestive heart failure (NYHA class III-IV), diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris, cerebral stroke and/or myocardial infarction within the last 12 months and planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation procedures
• Severe uncontrolled treated or untreated hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mm Hg)
• Acute treatment required proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy (macular oedema)
• History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis |
