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   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   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/insulin aspart administered once daily plus meal-time insulin aspart for the remaining meals in controlling glycaemia with respect to change from baseline in HbA1c after 16 weeks of treatment. This is done by comparing the difference in change from baseline in HbA1c between insulin degludec/insulin aspart + meal-time insulin aspart for the remaining meals and insulin detemir + meal-time insulin aspart to a non-inferiority limit of 0.4%, and if non-inferiority is confirmed, to a superiority limit of 0%.

    [1] - If non-inferiority was confirmed, superiority of IDegAsp over IDet was investigated for the FAS. Non-inferiority will be considered confirmed if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval is below or equal to 0.4% corresponding to one-sided test at the 2.5% level. The subjects in this analysis is 350/362 from FAS who had baseline and atleast one post-baseline assessment.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    17 Apr 2013
    The protocol was updated upon request from FDA; the use of Last observation carried forward (LOCF) in the statistical analyses was discarded in favour of mixed effect model repeat measurement (MMRM). Furthermore, the blood volume needed for blood sampling in the age group below 6 years was updated to a smaller volume due to a miscalculation. Furthermore, the text in the master subject information related to the use of Lantus® was updated. In addition, a few typing errors in Section 17 (Statistical considerations) were discovered and corrected.
    22 Apr 2014
    Error corrected regarding definition of the Full Analysis Set (FAS).
