Comparison of Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 Individually Adjusted by the Subject and the Trial Physician, Both Combined With Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (SimpleMix™)

January 10, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A 20 Week Randomised, Multinational, Open Labelled, 2 Armed, Parallel Group Comparison of Twice Daily Subject Driven Titration of Biphasic Insulin Aspart (BIAsp) 30 Versus Twice Daily Investigator-driven Titration of Biphasic Insulin Aspart (BIAsp) 30 Both in Combination With Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled on Basal Insulin Analogues

This trial was conducted in Asia, Europe and South America. The aim of this trial was to confirm efficacy of subject driven titration (individually adjusted) of biphasic insulin aspart 30 (BIAsp 30) twice daily in terms of glycaemic control assessed by change in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c).

Experimental: Subject-driven titration BIAsp 30 (BID) + metformin
The subjects performed the titration of BIAsp 30 dose.
Drug: biphasic insulin aspart 30
Administered subcutaneously (under the skin) using FlexPen® twice daily for 20 weeks. Directions for use were given to each subject at each dispensing visit. Subjects continued on their pre-trial metformin dose. Any previous basal insulin analogue and OAD (oral anti-diabetes drug) treatments (except for metformin) were discontinued.
Active Comparator: Investigator-driven titration BIAsp 30 (BID) + metformin
The investigator performed the titration of BIAsp 30 dose.
Drug: biphasic insulin aspart 30
Administered subcutaneously (under the skin) using FlexPen® twice daily for 20 weeks. Directions for use were given to each subject at each dispensing visit. Subjects continued on their pre-trial metformin dose. Any previous basal insulin analogue and OAD (oral anti-diabetes drug) treatments (except for metformin) were discontinued.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) - FAS
Time Frame: Week 0, week 20
Estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c after 20 Weeks of treatment in full analysis set (FAS).
Week 0, week 20
Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) - PP
Time Frame: Week 0, week 20
Estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c after 20 Weeks of treatment in per protocol (PP) analysis set.
Week 0, week 20

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) (Central Laboratory Values)
Time Frame: Week 0, week 20
Estimated mean change from baseline in FPG after 20 Weeks of treatment
Week 0, week 20
Number of Treatment Emergent Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Time Frame: Week 0 to week 20
A hypoglycaemic episode was defined as treatment emergent if the onset of the episode was on or after the first day of trial product, and no later than one day after product administration. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.
Week 0 to week 20
Patient Reported Outcomes Evaluated: Treatment-Related Impact Measures for Diabetes (TRIM-D) - Total Score
Time Frame: Week 0
From the 20 TRIM-D items, an overall score was derived. The scores were transformed to a 0 - 100 scale with higher scores indicating a better health state.
Week 0
Patient Reported Outcomes Evaluated: Treatment-Related Impact Measures for Diabetes (TRIM-D) - Total Score
Time Frame: Week 4
From the 20 TRIM-D items, an overall score was derived. The scores were transformed to a 0 - 100 scale with higher scores indicating a better health state.
Week 4
Patient Reported Outcomes Evaluated: Treatment-Related Impact Measures for Diabetes (TRIM-D) - Total Score
Time Frame: Week 20
From the 20 TRIM-D items, an overall score was derived. The scores were transformed to a 0 - 100 scale with higher scores indicating a better health state.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
