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   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 liraglutide as adjunct to insulin treatment on glycaemic control, and to confirm the superiority of liraglutide treatment compared to placebo, both adjunct to insulin treatment, with regard to reduction in total daily insulin dose and body weight loss, after 52 weeks of treatment in subjects with established type 1 diabetes with inadequate glycaemic control.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (World Medical Association. Declaration of Helsinki. Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects. 64th WMA General Assembly, Fortaleza. 1 Oct 2013. 2013) and ICH Good Clinical Practice (International Conference on Harmonisation. ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline. Good Clinical Practice. 01-May-1996) and 21 CFR 312.120 (Food and Drug Administration. FDA Code Federal Regulations. 21 CFR 312.120. Foreign clinical studies not conducted under an IND. 4 Jan 2008).
    Background therapy

Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomised subjects who received at least one dose and had any post-randomisation data. Five subjects, who started the study, were excluded because of no exposure to study drug and 4 subjects were excluded because of non-availability of post-baseline data.

    End point description
    Change from baseline in total daily insulin dose at week 52. Change from baseline was represented in terms of ratio to baseline for insulin dose i.e. Total daily insulin dose at week 52/total daily insulin dose at baseline. Missing values were handled by using a MMRM. Full analysis set. Number of subjects analysed=subjects with any post-baseline total insulin daily dose data.

    Secondary: Number of treatment-emergent symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes

    		 Number of treatment-emergent symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes
    End point description
    This is a confirmatory secondary endpoint. Symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were: 1) Severe according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) classification OR 2) Self-monitoring of plasma glucose value of < 3.1 mmol/L, with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. ADA classification of severe hypoglycemia: An episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. A treatment emergent episode is defined as an episode with onset date (or increase in severity) on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days after the last day of randomised treatment. The safety analysis set included all randomised subjects exposed to at least one dose of liraglutide or placebo.

The model included fixed factors (treatment, country, stratification group) and a covariate (baseline HbA1c). The actual number of subjects in this analysis was 693 instead of 695.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    25 Apr 2013
    1) Correcting a discrepancy between the wording of the key exclusion criteria in the summary section and the exclusion criteria stated in the protocol so the text is in alignment. 2) The model for calculating within-subject variability in self-measured fasting plasma glucose for insulin dose titration was simplified to employ a fewer number of parameters. 3) A discrepancy in the wording of the MESI regarding administration of an accidental overdose in the protocol and Appendix were corrected.
    26 Feb 2014
    1) Further instruction/clarification was added to ensure that the insulin dose was reduced correctly when trial drug was started. 2) Endpoints of hypoglycaemia were slightly revised. The endpoint hypoglycaemia with concurrent presence of both hypoglycaemic symptoms and low glucose value was added. 3) Severe hypoglycaemic events were to undergo independent review to evaluate if the event was a severe hypoglycaemic event. It was decided to follow the same set-up and present the severe hypoglycaemic events to the EAC as described in the current protocol for other MESI requiring event adjudication. 4) Statistical consideration was updated in regards to the definition of the hypoglycaemic events. A figure illustrating the updated ADA definition of hypoglycaemic events was included. 5) An Investigator Portal was used to exchange documents between Novo Nordisk and the sites. Text regarding the Investigator Portal was added to provide clarification for sites. 6) Changes in the protocol were made for clarification and consistency purposes. The rationale for adjudicating the MESIs Fatal. Acute Coronory Syndrome and Cerebrovascular events was updated to clarify that this was performed in all Novo Nordisk trials with Victoza®.
