E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/liraglutide compared to insulin degludec/liraglutide placebo in controlling glycaemia as add-on treatment in insulin naïve subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled on sulphonylurea (SU) with or without metformin therapy after 26 weeks of treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare general efficacy and safety of the addition of insulin degludec/liraglutide and insulin degludec/liraglutide placebo in insulin naïve subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled on SU with or without metformin therapy compared to after 26 weeks of treatment. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Any use of oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) (other than SU in monotherapy or in combination with metformin) ≤ 90 days prior to screening visit (Visit 1)
- Use of any drug (other than SU in monotherapy or in combination with metformin), which in the Investigators opinion could interfere with the blood glucose level (e.g. systemic corticosteroids)
- Previous treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (e.g. exenatide, liraglutide)
- Treatment with any insulin regimen (short term treatment due to intercurrent illness including gestational diabetes is allowed at the discretion of the Investigator)

- Cardiovascular disorders defined as: congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV), diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris, cerebral stroke and/or myocardial infarction within the past 52 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit 1) and/or planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation procedures
- Proliferative retinopathy requiring acute treatment or maculopathy (macular oedema) according to the Investigator’s opinion
- Subjects with a clinical significant, active (during the past 12 months) disease of the gastrointestinal, pulmonary, endocrinological (except for the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), neurological, genitourinary or haematological system that in the opinion of the Investigator, may confound the results of the trial or pose additional risk in administering trial product
- History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis |
