To Compare the Effect of Liraglutide When Given Together With Metformin With the Effect of Metformin Given Alone and With the Effect of Glimepiride and Metformin Given Together (LEAD-2)

January 24, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes (LEAD-2): Effect on Glycaemic Control After Once Daily Administration of Liraglutide in Combination With Metformin Versus Metformin Monotherapy Versus Metformin and Glimepiride Combination Therapy in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This trial is conducted in Europe, Oceania, Africa, Asia and South America. This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with liraglutide when adding to existing metformin therapy and to compare it with the effects of metformin monotherapy and combination therapy of metformin and glimepiride. Two trial periods: A 6 month (26 weeks) randomised, double-blinded period followed by an 18 months open-label extension, in total 2 years (104 weeks).

Change in Mean Prandial Increments of Plasma Glucose Based on Self-measured 7-point Plasma Glucose Profiles at Week 26
Time Frame: week 0, week 26

Change in mean prandial increments of plasma glucose based on self-measured 7-point plasma glucose profiles from baseline (week 0) to 26 weeks (end of randomisation). The 7 time points for self-measurements were: before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at 90 min after start of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and at bedtime.

Mean prandial increments of plasma glucose were calculated as the sum of the plasma glucose differences between values measured before and after a meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) divided by three.

Change in Mean Prandial Increments of Plasma Glucose Based on Self-measured 7-point Plasma Glucose Profiles at Week 104
Time Frame: week 0, week 104

Change in mean prandial increments of plasma glucose based on self-measured 7-point plasma glucose profiles from baseline (week 0) to 104 weeks (end of treatment). The 7 time points for self-measurements were: before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at 90 min after start of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and at bedtime.

Mean prandial increments of plasma glucose were calculated as the sum of the plasma glucose differences between values measured before and after a meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) divided by three.

week 0, week 104
Change in Mean Post Prandial Plasma Glucose Based on Self-measured 7-point Plasma Glucose Profiles at Week 26
Time Frame: week 0, week 26
Change in mean post prandial plasma glucose from baseline (Week 0) to 26 weeks (end of randomisation). The 7 time points for self-measurements were: before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at 90 min after start of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and at bedtime. Mean post prandial plasma glucose were calculated as the sum of the post pradial plasma glucose values divided by three.

Change in Mean Post Prandial Plasma Glucose Based on Self-measured 7-point Plasma Glucose Profiles at Week 104
Time Frame: week 0, week 104
Change in mean post prandial plasma glucose from baseline (Week 0) to 104 weeks (end of treatment) The 7 time points for self-measurements were: before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at 90 min after start of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and at bedtime. Mean post prandial plasma glucose were calculated as the sum of the post pradial plasma glucose values divided by three.

Change in Beta-cell Function at Week 26
Time Frame: week 0, week 26

Change in beta cell function from baseline (week 0) to 16 weeks (end of treatment). Beta-cell function was derived from fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin concentrations using the homeostasic model assessment (HOMA) method which uses the assumption that normal-weight normal subjects aged under 35 years have a 100% beta-cell function (HOMA-B).

Beta-cell function: HOMA-B (%) = 20∙fasting insulin[uU/mL] divided by (FPG mmol/L]-3.5).

week 0, week 26
Change in Beta-cell Function at Week 104
Time Frame: week 0, week 104

Change in beta cell function from baseline (week 0) to 16 weeks (end of treatment). Beta-cell function was derived from fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin concentrations using the homeostasic model assessment (HOMA) method which uses the assumption that normal-weight normal subjects aged under 35 years have a 100% beta-cell function (HOMA-B).

Beta-cell function: HOMA-B (%) = 20∙fasting insulin[uU/mL] divided by (FPG mmol/L]-3.5).

week 0, week 104
Hypoglycaemic Episodes at Week 26
Time Frame: weeks 0-26
Total number of hypoglycaemic episodes occuring after baseline (week 0) until week 26 (end of randomisation). Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with no plasma glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L.
weeks 0-26
Hypoglycaemic Episodes at Week 104
Time Frame: weeks 0-104
Total number of hypoglycaemic episodes occuring after baseline (week 0) until 104 weeks (end of treatment). Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with no plasma glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L.
