A Study to Compare Insulin Intensification of Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 and Insulin Analogues (Insulin Glargine and Insulin Aspart) in Insulin naïve Type 2 Diabetic Patients

September 6, 2018 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A 32-week Randomised, Multinational, Treat-to-target, Open Label, Parallel Group Comparison of Stepwise Insulin Intensification of Biphasic Insulin Aspart (BIAsp) 30 and Basal-bolus Therapy With Insulin Glargine and Insulin Aspart in Insulin naïve Type 2 Diabetic Patients Inadequately Controlled on Oral Anti-diabetic Therapy

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to compare stepwise insulin intensification of biphasic insulin aspart (BIAsp) 30 and basal-bolus therapy with insulin glargine and insulin aspart in insulin naïve type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled on oral anti-diabetic therapy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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)
Time Frame: Week 0, week 32
Change in HbA1c from baseline (week 0) to week 32.
Week 0, week 32

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
HbA1c Below 7.0% Without Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Time Frame: After 32 weeks of treatment (yes/no)
Percentage of subjects with HbA1c below 7.0% after 32 weeks of randomised treatment without treatment emergent severe hypoglycaemic episodes during the last 12 weeks of treatment. Subjects withdrawn before 32 weeks were handled as non-responders. Severe hypoglycaemic episode was defined as an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose (PG) concentrations may not be available during an event, but neurological recovery following the return of PG to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low PG concentration.
After 32 weeks of treatment (yes/no)
Number of Treatment Emergent Hypoglycaemic Episodes Classified According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Novo Nordisk Definitions
Time Frame: Weeks 0-32
Hypoglycaemic episodes were classified as severe, Asymptomatic, Documented symptomatic, Pseudo, and Probable symptomatic as per ADA classification. As symptoms of hypoglycaemia occur below a PG level of 3.1 mmol/L, (56 mg/dL) Novo Nordisk classification included hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose (PG) levels below 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) in the definition of blood glucose confirmed hypoglycaemia. Hence, Novo Nordisk classification included following types of hypoglycaemia in addition to ADA classification: Severe hypoglycaemia, Symptomatic blood glucose confirmed hypoglycaemia, Asymptomatic blood glucose confirmed hypoglycaemia, Severe or blood glucose confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia, Blood glucose confirmed hypoglycaemia, and Severe or blood glucose confirmed hypoglycaemia. Reported data represents total of all hypoglycaemic episodes.
Weeks 0-32
Total Daily Insulin Dose
Time Frame: Weeks 0-32
Total daily insulin dose in the basal bolus treatment group and in BIAsp 30 treatment group at each week of each treatment.
Weeks 0-32

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.
