Participant Flow
The trial was conducted at 89 sites in 12 countries: Argentina (3 sites), Czech Republic (5 sites), France (3 sites), Greece (6 sites), Hungary (3 sites), Israel (6 sites), Mexico (3 sites), Russia (7 sites), Slovakia (5 sites), Spain (6 sites), Turkey (5 sites) and United States (37 sites).
Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus were on treatment with stable daily dose of insulin glargine (IGlar) between 20 units and 50 units (both inclusive) for at least 56 days prior to screening in combination with a stable daily dose of metformin (≥1500 mg or maximum tolerated dose) for at least 90 days prior to screening.

IDegLira
Insulin Degludec/Liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) was injected subcutaneously once daily (OD) for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 units/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 16 dose steps (containing 16 units IDeg /0.6 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and the two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72- 90 mg/dL\]).The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). All subjects continued with metformin at pre-trial doses (≥ 1500 mg or the maximum tolerated dose), unless there was a safety concern.
|
IGlar + IAsp
Subjects received insulin glargine plus prandial insulin aspart subcutaneously for duration of 26 weeks. A stable pre- trial OD dose of IGlar (20-50 units, in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar®) was continued with metformin therapy (≥ 1500 mg or the maximum tolerated dose). IAsp was added to the IGlar therapy with a start dose of 4U using a 3 mL pre-filled FlexPen®, as prandial insulin treatment before each main meal. The dose of IGlar was adjusted twice weekly based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the days of the titration and the two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72- 90 mg/dL\]). The dose of IAsp was titrated twice weekly based on pre-prandial and bedtime SMPGs, obtained on the three previous days (target SMPG: 4.0 - 6.0 mmol/L).

Other adverse events

IDegLira
n=252 participants at risk
Insulin Degludec/Liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) was injected subcutaneously once daily (OD) for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 units/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 16 dose steps (containing 16 units IDeg /0.6 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and the two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72- 90 mg/dL\]).The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). All subjects continued with metformin at pre-trial doses (≥ 1500 mg or the maximum tolerated dose), unless there was a safety concern.
|
IGlar + IAsp
n=253 participants at risk
Subjects received insulin glargine plus prandial insulin aspart subcutaneously for duration of 26 weeks. A stable pre- trial OD dose of IGlar (20-50 units, in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar®) was continued with metformin therapy (≥ 1500 mg or the maximum tolerated dose). IAsp was added to the IGlar therapy with a start dose of 4U using a 3 mL pre-filled FlexPen®, as prandial insulin treatment before each main meal. The dose of IGlar was adjusted twice weekly based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the days of the titration and the two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72- 90 mg/dL\]). The dose of IAsp was titrated twice weekly based on pre-prandial and bedtime SMPGs, obtained on the three previous days (target SMPG: 4.0 - 6.0 mmol/L).
