Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: To assess and compare the effect of liraglutide versus placebo in combination with metformin with or without basal insulin treatment. ;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to week 26; Main Objective: To confirm the superiority of liraglutide at the maximum tolerated dose (0.6 mg, 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg)versus placebo when added to in combination with metformin with or without basal insulin treatment in controlling glycaemia versus metformin and liraglutide placebo in children, and adolescents (ages 10–17 years) with type 2 diabetes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. HbA1c <7.0% (yes/no) 2. HbA1c =6.5% (yes/no) 3. HbA1c <7.0% without severe or minor hypoglycaemic episodes (yes/no) Change from baseline: 4. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 5. 7-point self-measured plasma glucose 6. body weight 7. BMI standard deviation score (SDS) Safety 8. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) 9. Safety follow-up after 1 and 2 years: AEs and SAEs, growth velocity and pubertal progression ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-7: at 26 and 52 weeks of treatment 8-9: After 53 weeks, and after 1 and 2 years after LPLV
