February 28, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Pan Asian Trial Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Insulin NN1250 and Insulin Glargine as Add on to OAD(s) in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (BEGIN™: ONCE ASIA)

This trial is conducted in Asia and Japan. The aim of this trial is to compare insulin degludec (NN1250) with insulin glargine both combined with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) in subjects with type 2 diabetes never treated with insulin.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Time Frame: Week 0, Week 26
Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment
Week 0, Week 26

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG)
Time Frame: Week 26
Mean of SMPG after 26 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, before bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.
Week 26
Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up
Rate of nocturnal confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up
Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.
Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up
