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 mellitus (T2DM) on previous treatment with insulin glargine.
This is done by comparing the difference in change in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline after 26 weeks of treatment to a non-inferiority limit of 0.30% for insulin degludec/liraglutide vs insulin glargine. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/liraglutide versus insulin glargine after 26 weeks of treatment on one or more of the following:
o Change from baseline in HbA1c
o Confirmed hypoglycaemia
o Change from baseline in body weight
• To compare safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide to insulin glargine after 26 weeks of treatment |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• ≥18 years of age
• HbA1c 7.0-10.0% [53-86 mmol/mol] (both inclusive) by central laboratory analysis
• Current treatment with insulin glargine for at least 90 days prior to screening
• Stable daily dose of insulin glargine between 20 units and 50 units (both inclusive) for at least 56 days prior to screening. Total daily dose should be within the range of 20-50 units, both inclusive, on the day of screening, but individual fluctuations of ± 10% within the 56 days prior to screening are acceptable.
• Stable daily dose of metformin (≥ 1500 mg or max tolerated dose) for at least 90 days prior to screening
• Body mass index (BMI) ≤40 kg/m^2
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Any use of oral antidiabetic agents (OADs) (except for metformin) within 90 days prior to Visit 1 (screening)
• Current use of any drug (except metformin and insulin glargine) or anticipated change in concomitant medication, which in the investigator’s opinion could interfere with the glucose metabolism (e.g. systemic corticosteroids)
• Previous and/or current treatment with any insulin regimen other than basal insulin, e.g. prandial or pre-mixed insulin (short term treatment due to intercurrent illness including gestational diabetes is allowed at the discretion of the investigator)
• Previous and/or current treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (e.g. exenatide, liraglutide)
• Impaired liver function, defined as ALAT ≥2.5 times upper normal range (UNR)
• Impaired renal function defined as serum-creatinine ≥133μmol/L (≥1.5 mg/dL) for males and ≥125 μmol/L (1.4 mg/dL) for females, or as allowed according to local contraindications for metformin
• Screening calcitonin ≥50 ng/L
• Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2)
• History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis |
