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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 effect of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) in terms of glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on previous treatment with sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) ± oral anti-diabetic drug (OAD) therapy. This is done by comparing the difference in change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks to a non-inferiority margin of 0.3% for IDegLira versus insulin glargine (IGlar), both in combination with SGLT2i ± OAD.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (64th WMA Assembly, October 2013) and ICH Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents (June 1996) and 21 CFR 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Subjects on pre-trial OAD treatment with stable daily dose of SGLT2i either as monotherapy or in combination with metformin ± dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) ± pioglitazone according to locally approved label for at least 90 days prior to screening. Subjects on DPP4i before the trial had to be discontinued at randomisation.

    Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira treatment was initiated at starting dose of 10 dose steps. The dose of IDeglira was adjusted individually twice weekly according to a predefined titration algorithm with a maximum daily dose of 50 dose steps. Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone excluding DPP4i. This treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.

    IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 units/3.6 mg per mL solution subcutaneously in the thigh, upper arm (deltoid) or abdomen approximately at the same time every day throughout the trial. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide). Dose was adjusted individually twice weekly on fixed days based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and the two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L [72- 90 mg/dL]). The maximum daily dose for IDegLira was 50 dose steps.

Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone excluding DPP4i.

The statistical evaluation of the FAS followed the intent-to-treat (ITT) principle and subjects contributed to the evaluation “as randomised”. Number analysed = Number of subjects contributed to the analysis at week 26. The results presented included retrieved data at week 26 for subjects who prematurely discontinued the trial product.

    Number of treatment-emergent adverse events
    End point description
    Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded from week 0-week 26. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days after the last day of randomised treatment. If the event had onset date before the first day of exposure on randomised treatment and increased in severity during the treatment period and until 7 days after the last drug date, then this event should also be considered as a TEAE. Major cardiovascular events (MACEs) were considered treatment-emergent until 30 calendar days after the last day of randomised treatment. The safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product or comparator.

    Adverse event reporting additional description
    TEAE: An event that had onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days (30 days for MACEs) after the last day of randomised treatment (or an event that increased in severity during this period but had an onset date before first day of exposure).

    Reporting groups
    Reporting group title
    IDegLira
    Reporting group description
    Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira treatment was initiated at starting dose of 10 dose steps. The dose of IDeglira was adjusted individually twice weekly according to a predefined titration algorithm with a maximum daily dose of 50 dose steps. Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone excluding DPP4i. This treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.

    Reporting group title
    IGlar
    Reporting group description
    Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted individually twice weekly according to a predefined titration algorithm. Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone excluding DPP4i. This treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.
