Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding liraglutide to high dose insulin therapy compared to high dose insulin therapy alone in patients with insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes with insulin requirements of \> 100 units of insulin per day.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

40 subjects with Type 2 diabetes using \> 100 units of insulin per day with or without metformin with HbA1c \> 6.5% will be randomized into 2 treatment groups: treatment group will have liraglutide added to insulin and control group will have insulin uptitration only for 6 months. Primary endpoint to be compared between groups will be HbA1c at 6 months. Secondary endpoints will include weight, total daily insulin dose, percent time in euglycemic, hyperglycemic, and hypoglycemic ranges by continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and effect on GlycoMark and hs-CRP. Safety endpoints will include incidence of hypoglycemia and incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

liraglutide plus insulin

Patients were randomized to receive liraglutide plus insulin (LIRA) for 12 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Liraglutide

Intervention Type DRUG

SC, 1.8mg,QD, six months to one year

Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

SC, will be titrated during the study, 4 times a day, 1 year

Insulin titration only

Patients were randomized to receive insulin only (control) for 6 months. The controls were then crossed over to receive liraglutide plus insulin for 6 months after the initial control period.
