Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is conducted in Asia. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in combination with insulin therapy compared to insulin alone in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects will remain on their pre-trial insulin therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

liraglutide

Intervention Type DRUG

Liraglutide administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) for 36 weeks combined with insulin therapy.

insulin

Intervention Type DRUG
