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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 superiority of liraglutide 3.0 mg vs. placebo, as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, on weight loss effectiveness in subjects with overweight or obesity and T2DM treated with a basal insulin and up to 2 OAD medications (metformin, glitazone, SGLT-2 inhibitor, alpha glucosidase inhibitor, glinide or sulphonylurea).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH GCP and FDA 21 CFR 312.120. In addition, the 21 Code of Federal Regulations, parts 312, 50, and 56 were followed.
    Background therapy
    The following products were regarded as non-investigational medicinal products (non-IMPs) in this trial: Oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) and insulin. OADs: Subjects were allowed to take the following OADs throughout the treatment period: Any approved and marketed metformin, glitazone, SGLT-2 inhibitor, alpha glucosidase inhibitor, glinide or sulphonylurea product or combination products.

    Change in body weight (%)
    End point description
    Change in body weight from baseline (week 0) to week 56 was evaluated based on full analysis set (FAS) in-trial data and on-drug data. FAS includes all randomised subjects. In-trial observation period: the uninterrupted time interval from the date of randomisation until and including the date of the follow-up visit or date of last contact. On-drug observation period: includes all time intervals in which subjects are considered to be on treatment from the date of first trial product administration to 7 days (or 14 days for adverse events [AEs]) after the final trial product administration, excluding potential off-treatment time intervals triggered by at least 7 consecutive missed doses (or 14 consecutive missed doses for AEs). 'n' is the number of subjects (subjects with available data) analysed for the respective reporting group.

    Statistical analysis description
    Analysis of in-trial data with missing observations imputed from placebo arm based on jump to reference multiple (x100) imputation approach. Week 56 responses were analysed using an analysis of covariance model with treatment, body mass index (BMI) groups and sex as factors and baseline body weight as covariate. The treatment policy estimand evaluated treatment effect (liraglutide 3.0 mg vs placebo) at week 56 for all randomised subjects regardless of premature discontinuation of trial product.

    Change in Short Form-36 (SF-36) v2.0 acute, physical functioning score
    End point description
    SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the subject's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ questionnaire measured the HRQoL on 8 domains on individual scale ranges. The scores 0-100 (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. A norm-based score of 50 corresponds to the mean score and 10 corresponds to the standard deviation of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline (week 0) in SF-36 physical functioning score was presented based on FAS in-trial data and on-drug data. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. 'n' is the number of subjects (subjects with available data) analysed for the respective reporting group.

    Change in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite for Clinical Trial Version (IWQoL-Lite for CT), physical function domain (5-items) score
    End point description
    IWQoL-Lite for CT is a modified version of an instrument designed to assess weight-related quality of life. The scores ranged between 0-100 where higher scores indicated a better quality of life. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. The endpoint was presented based on FAS in-trial data and on-drug data. In-trial observation period: the uninterrupted time interval from the date of randomisation until and including the date of the follow-up visit or date of last contact. On-drug observation period: includes all time intervals in which subjects are considered to be on treatment from the date of first trial product administration to 7 days (or 14 days for AEs) after the final trial product administration, excluding potential off-treatment time intervals triggered by at least 7 consecutive missed doses (or 14 consecutive missed doses for AEs). 'n' is the number of subjects (subjects with available data) analysed for the respective reporting group.

    Adverse events

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    From the date of first dose of trial product (week 0) to end of treatment (week 56) + post treatment follow-up of 30 days.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Evaluation of safety was based on SAS comprised of all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of trial product. AEs with onset during the on-treatment period were considered treatment-emergent. ‘Number of deaths causally related to treatment’ is the data considered to present under ‘total number of deaths resulting from adverse events’.

    Liraglutide 3.0 mg
    Reporting group description
    Subjects received liraglutide subcutaneous injections for 56 weeks. The starting dose was 0.6 milligrams (mg) for the first week. The dose was then escalated in weekly increments of 0.6 mg until the maintenance dose of 3.0 mg was reached after 4 weeks.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo
    Reporting group description
    Subjects received matching placebo once daily by subcutaneous injection for 56 weeks. Dose escalation for placebo matched that of liraglutide.
