Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To prove the non-inferiority of the test formulation containing recombinant human insulin to a reference product of the same type (Humulin®) regarding the incidence of newly developed antibodies against insulin.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Incidence of newly developed anti-insulin antibodies during the double-blind treatment phase as determined by a screening assay and confirmed by a confirmatory assay SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: - incidence of newly developed anti-insulin antibodies for the entire duration of treatment, - glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measured after 28 and 56 weeks of treatment, - dosage of insulin - incidence and severity of hypoglycemia, - changes in weight.
