Primary Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)
Time Frame: Week 0, week 30
|
Estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c at week 30.
The post-baseline responses are analysed using a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using mixed model for repeated measurements.

|
Change in Body Weight
Time Frame: Week 0, week 30
|
Estimated mean change from baseline in body weight at week 30.
The post-baseline responses are analysed using a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using mixed model for repeated measurements.
|
Week 0, week 30
|
|
Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
Time Frame: week 0, week 30
|
Estimated mean change from baseline in FPG at week 30.
The post-baseline responses are analysed using a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using mixed model for repeated measurements.
|
week 0, week 30
|
|
Change in Insulin Dose
Time Frame: week 0, week 30
|
Estimated mean change from baseline in insulin dose at week 30 was measured in terms of ratio to baseline.
Responses at week 30 are analysed using an Analysis of covariance model with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward.
|
week 0, week 30
|
|
Change in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure
Time Frame: week 0, week 30
|
Estimated mean change from baseline in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at week 30.
The post-baseline responses are analysed using a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using mixed model for repeated measurements.

Patient Reported Outcomes, Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ)
Time Frame: week 0, week 30
|
The DTSQs questionnaire was used to assess subjects' treatment satisfaction and contained 8 components and evaluates the diabetes treatment (including insulin, tablets and/or diet) in terms of convenience, flexibility and general feelings towards the treatment.
The result presented is the 'Treatment Satisfaction' summary score, which is the sum of 6 of the 8 items of the DTSQs questionnaire.
Response options range from 6 (best case) to 0 (worst case).
Total scores for treatment satisfaction range from 0-36.
Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction.
The post-baseline responses are analysed using an ANCOVA model with treatment, country and stratification variables (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] and use of metformin [yes or no]) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate.
Mean estimates are adjusted according to observed baseline distribution.
Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward.

Missing data imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.

Missing data imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment, country and stratification variable (HbA1c level at screening [<= 8.0% or > 8.0%] crossed with use of metformin [yes or no]; 2 by 2 levels) as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
