Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe, North and South America and Oceania. The aim of this trial is to compare the effect and safety on blood glucose control in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes of a modern insulin analogue (insulin detemir) and human insulin (NPH insulin) given as long-acting insulin in combination with a short-acting insulin (insulin aspart).

Pre-assignment details

Non-pregnant women were randomised immediately after it was established that they fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Thus, they were exposed to insulin detemir (IDet) throughout organogenesis. Pregnant subjects were to be randomised after completion of the 8th gestational week (GW) and before the completion of 12th GW

Maternal Safety - Change in Insulin Aspart Specific Antibodies

Change in concentrations values for insulin aspart specific antibodies from baseline to Visit P4 was calculated. The unit for measuring antibody levels is amount of tracer bound to the antibodies in the precipitate (B) expressed in percentage of the total amount of tracer (T) added to the mixture (%B/T). Samples were taken before 1st dosing.

Safety - Composite Pregnancy Outcome

Wt. corresponds to weight of live-born infants. Pre-term delivery: delivery before 37 completed GWs including abortions. Early foetal death: death before 22 completed GWs. Perinatal mortality: death of a foetus/infant between ≥ 22 completed GWs and \< 1 completed week after delivery. Neonatal mortality: post-partum after 7 completed days and before 28 completed days after delivery. Major-malformation: a life threatening structural anomaly or one likely to cause significant impairment of health or functional capacity and needs medical or surgical treatment.

Safety in Children - Number of Subjects (Foetuses and Newborns) With Adverse Events

AE=any undesirable medical event occurring to a subject in a clinical trial, whether or not related to the trial product. Related AE=relationship of probable or possible. SAE=any undesirable serious medical event as defined in protocol.

Time frame: Foetuses/Newborns were followed during the pregnancy period, an average of 9.6 months and Follow-Up period (6 weeks after delivery)

Population: Safety analysis set (pregnant subjects): all randomised subjects who were exposed to at least one dose of trial product and who were pregnant during the trial. Each pregnant woman analyzed had exactly one Foetus/Newborn that was analyzed for AEs.
