Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To confirm the efficacy of insulin degludec (IDeg) administered once daily plus mealtime insulin aspart 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 in HbA1c between insulin degludec (IDeg) + insulin aspart (IAsp) and insulin detemir (IDet) + insulin aspart(IAsp) to a non-inferiority limit of 0.4%, and if non-inferiority is confirmed, to a superiority limit of 0%.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and ICH Good Clinical Practice.

    Insulin Degludec (IDeg) + Insulin Aspart (IAsp)
    Arm description
    Subjects from 1 to less than 18 years of age were randomised into treatment arms, receiving IDeg OD as basal insulin treatment. IDeg was administered subcutaneously OD as basal insulin. IAsp was given as mealtime bolus insulin. 170 subjects completed the main trial,152 subjects included in the extension. 18 subjects did not consent to participate in the extension trial.

    The basal insulin was to be administered with NovoPen® Echo (blue for basal) and in Japan NovoPen® 300 Demi Lime and in the US NovoPen® Junior. In Finland and the UK only, NovoPen® 4 (blue/silver) was used for administration of higher basal insulin doses.IDeg was given once a day at approximately the same time of the day. Basal insulin titration was done according to the lowest pre-breakfast SMPG value measured on the three days prior to the visit/ phone contact for IDeg.

    The bolus insulin was to be administered with NovoPen® Echo (red for bolus), in Japan NovoPen®°300 Demi Apricot and in the US NovoPen® Junior. It was given as mealtime insulin. IAsp titration was done once weekly based on the lowest of three SMPG values measured prior to the next meal and bedtime on the three days prior to the visit/phone contact.

    Insulin Detemir (IDet) + Insulin Aspart (IAsp)
    Arm description
    Subjects from 1 to less than 18 years of age were randomised into treatment arms, receiving IDet OD or BID (twice daily) as basal insulin treatment and used IAsp as mealtime bolus insulin. 165 subjects completed the main trial, 128 included in the extension trial. 37 subjects did not consent to participate in the extension trial.

    Subjects randomised into the IDet treatment arm continued with their pre-trial dosing scheme (OD or BID). Subjects randomised into the IDet treatment arm were allowed to switch from OD to BID dosing according to Protocol.The basal insulin was to be administered with NovoPen® Echo (blue for basal) and in Japan NovoPen® 300 Demi Lime and in the US NovoPen® Junior. In Finland and the UK only, NovoPen® 4 (blue/silver) was used for administration of higher basal insulin doses.Basal insulin titration was done according to the lowest pre-breakfast SMPG value measured on the three days prior to the visit/ phone contact for IDet OD. For IDet BID the morning dose adjustment was to be based on the lowest pre-dinner SMPG value measured on the three days prior to the visit/phone contact.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    03 Nov 2011
    The corrections to the text for the definition of confirmed hypoglycaemia and conversion of FPG from mmol/dL to mg/dL. In addition it is stated that Novo Nordisk will supply NPH insulin to Japan, Italy and the US.
    06 Mar 2012
    The revisions to the text to further describe and clarify the endpoints measured in the extension period of the trial. All subjects who completed 26 weeks of treatment (main period) were encouraged to continue in an extension of the trial under similar conditions, for an additional 6 months (extension period). Subjects were to continue the 6 month extension period according to the treatment allocation in the main period and all efficacy analyses based on the full 12 months period (two times 26 weeks of treatment) will be regarded as supportive. An informed consent covering the extension period must be obtained prior to any activities related to the extension period. An additional secondary endpoint, measurement of insulin antibodies (IDeg specific, IDet specific, IAsp specific and antibodies cross-reacting to human insulin) after 26 weeks and 52 weeks of treatment was added to fulfil the requirement of monitoring the long term immunogenicity. Substantial amendment 3 was not approved in South Africa due to administrative delay and therefore subjects in South Africa could not continue into the extension period of the trial.
