Participant Flow

A total of 8 sites in Japan

The period between the Visit 1 (screening visit) and Visit 2 (baseline visit) of 3 weeks \[±7 days\] was the run-in period. The subjects continued their insulin treatment (basal-bolus therapy: insulin glargine or neutral protamine Hagedorn (intermediate-acting insulin) \[NPH\] insulin) same as their pre-trial dose.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 6 + 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.

Observed rate of major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL.

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

Observed rate of nocturnal major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL. Episodes were defined as nocturnal if the time of onset was between 23:00-05:59 (both inclusive).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 6 + 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 number of adverse events. 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 0, Week 6

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

The number of subjects having a electrocardiogram (ECG) that changed from 'Normal' or 'Abnormal, not clinically significant' to 'Abnormal, clinically significant'. 'Abnormal, Clinically significant' is an abnormality that suggests a disease and/or organ toxicity and is of a severity, which requires active management.
