Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To confirm the efficacy of insulin degludec/insulin aspart OD + metformin in controlling glycaemia with respect to change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment. This is done by comparing the difference in change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment between insulin degludec/insulin aspart OD + metformin and insulin glargine + metformin to a noninferiority limit of 0.4%, and if non-inferiority is confirmed to a superiority limit of 0%.;Secondary Objective: To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/insulin aspart OD + metformin to insulin glargine OD + metformin after 26 weeks of treatment in terms of: • prandial plasma glucose (PG) increment at breakfast • frequency of responders for HbA1c (<7.0%) without severe and minor hypoglycaemic episodes • nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes (severe and minor) • body weight To compare efficacy and safety after 26 weeks of treatment in terms of: • fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from central laboratory • 9-point profile (SMPG) • self measured PG for dose adjustments • frequency of responders for HbA1c targets • adverse events • hypoglycaemic episodes • clinical and laboratory assessments • insulin dose • body weight • insulin antibodies • patient reported outcome (PRO).;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in HbA1c (%) after 26 weeks of treatment.
