Participant Flow

The trial was conducted at 88 sites in 8 countries: Austria (4), India (7), South Korea (5), Poland (6), Russia (10), Spain (11), Turkey (5), and United States of America (40). Some sites did not enroll subjects in the extension period.

The total duration of treatment was up to 52 weeks (26 weeks \[main trial: NN5401-3590, NCT01045707\] + 26 weeks \[extension trial: NN5401-3726\]), separated by 1 week of wash-out period; during which subjects were treated with Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin twice daily (BID) in combination with subject's pre-trial treatment of metformin.

Measure
IDegAsp OD
Insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) was given subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily (OD) in combination with subject's pre-trial treatment of metformin. IDegAsp was given with breakfast for 26 weeks in the main period and with either breakfast or with the largest meal for another 26 weeks in the extension period.
IGlar OD
Insulin glargine (IGlar) was given subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily (OD) according to approved labelling in combination with subject's pre-trial treatment of metformin. IGlar was given for 52 weeks (26 weeks in main period and 26 weeks in extension period).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0, Week 26

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) included all randomised subjects and missing data were imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF). One subject was excluded from FAS because the subject was randomised in error and was not dosed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 53 + 7 days follow up

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

Rate of 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.
