Participant Flow

The trial was conducted at 27 sites in 5 countries: Finland (4), France (4), Germany (6), Poland (9) and Spain (4).

Subjects underwent a run-in period of up to 3 weeks (including 1-week maintenance period) where metformin was up-titrated to 1500 or 2000 mg/day. Subjects who tolerated metformin dose for a week and had fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.5 mmol/L were randomised to SIAC 30 (B), SIAC 45 (B) or BIAsp 30 twice daily.

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 16 + 5 days follow up

Population: The safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product or its comparator.

Corresponds to rate of AEs per 100 patient years of exposure. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week -4, Week 8, Week 16

Physical examination was performed at screening (week -4), and after 8 and 16 weeks of treatment. If any new findings or deterioration in previous findings were observed during the trial, these were recorded as AEs and are therefore not presented separately as no analysis was performed.
