    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the trial was to compare the effect on glycaemic control of once weekly insulin 287 using 3 different titration algorithms, versus once daily insulin glargine U100, both in combination with metformin ± dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) ± sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in insulin-naïve type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (64th World Medical Association (WMA) general assembly; October 2013), International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents, (09 November 2016) and 21 United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 312.120 (Foreign Clinical Studies not Conducted Under an investigational new drug (IND), 2015).
    Background therapy
    Subjects were to receive metformin with or without dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and with or without sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in accordance with standard of care or local label in the individual country. Doses were to be maintained at the stable, pre-trial dose and at the same frequency during the entire treatment period unless due to safety concerns related to the background medication.

    Insulin 287 (Titration algorithm A)
    Arm description
    Subjects were to receive once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 70 units (U). The dose was adjusted weekly during the treatment period using titration algorithm A with American Diabetes Association (ADA) glycaemic target of 4.4-7.2 mmol/L (80-130 mg/dL), based on 3 pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on 2 previous days and on the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 mmol/L: insulin dose reduced by 21 U. Otherwise, the dose adjustment was based on the mean of SMPG values. If the mean was between 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 21 U. All subjects used metformin with or without DPP4i and with or without SGLT2i at the stable, pre-trial dose and at the same frequency during the entire treatment period unless due to safety concerns related to the background medication.

    Time in target range 3.9–10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL) measured using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
    End point description
    Time spent in glycaemic target range was calculated as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in glycaemic target range 3.9–10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL), both inclusive divided by the total number of recorded measurements. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a subject was considered exposed to trial product, excluding any period after initiation of a non-randomised insulin treatment (rescue medication). The endpoint is based on data recorded by CGM system. It was required that at least 70% of the planned CGM measurements during weeks 15-16 were available for endpoint data to be included in the analysis. FAS included all randomised subjects. Number of subjects analyzed = Number of subjects who contributed to the analysis.

    Statistical analysis description
    The response and change from baseline in response during the last two weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16) are analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment and SGLT2i use as fixed factors, and baseline response as covariate. Missing endpoint values are imputed using multiple imputation based on own treatment arm with baseline response as a covariate. Each imputed dataset is analysed separately and estimates are combined using Rubin's rules.

    Statistical analysis description
    The response and change from baseline in response during the last two weeks of treatment (week 15 and 16) are analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment and SGLT2i use as fixed factors, and baseline response as covariate. Missing endpoint values are imputed using multiple imputation based on own treatment arm with baseline response as a covariate. Each imputed dataset is analysed separately and estimates are combined using Rubin's rules.

    Insulin 287 (Titration algorithm A)
    Reporting group description
    Subjects were to receive once weekly s.c. injection of insulin 287 for 16 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 70 U. The dose was adjusted weekly during the treatment period using titration algorithm A with ADA glycaemic target of 4.4-7.2 mmol/L (80-130 mg/dL), based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on 2 previous days and on the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 4.4 mmol/L: insulin dose reduced by 21 U. Otherwise, the dose adjustment was based on the mean of SMPG values. If the mean was between 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; > 7.2 mmol/L: insulin dose increased by 21 U. All subjects used metformin with or without DPP4i and with or without SGLT2i at the stable, pre-trial dose and at the same frequency during the entire treatment period unless due to safety concerns related to the background medication.
