Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the effect on glycaemic control of liraglutide or exenatide when added to subject's ongoing OAD (oral anti-diabetic drug) treatment of either metformin, sulphonylurea or a combination of both in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Two trial periods: A 26 week randomised, followed by a 52 week extension (14 + 38 weeks) where all subjects received liraglutide + OAD after previous randomisation to either liraglutide or exenatide, both combined with OAD treatment.

Interventions

DRUGliraglutide

1.8 mg once daily for s.c. (under the skin) injection.

DRUGexenatide

10 mcg twice daily for s.c. (under the skin) injection.

Percentage point change in glycosylated A1c (HbA1c) from baseline (week 0) to 26 weeks (end of randomisation)

Time frame: week 0, week 26

Population: Intention to Treat (ITT) analysis set using LOCF (Last Observation Carried Forward) is all randomised subjects exposed to study drug.

Comparison: ANCOVA with treatment, country and previous OAD treatment as fixed effects and baseline HbA1c as covariate.~2 hypotheses were tested: H01: µliraglutide ≥ µexenatide + Δ, HA1: µliraglutide \< µexenatide + Δ; Δ=0.4%. If non-inferiority was concluded, a test for superiority was established by a 1-sided test of the hypothesis H02: µliraglutide ≥ µexenatide against HA2: µliraglutide \< µexenatide. Superiority was concluded if the upper limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference was below 0%.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-0.47, -0.18]ANCOVA

Comparison: ANCOVA model included treatment, country and previous treatment as fixed effects and baseline value of the endpoint as covariate. The objective was to demonstrate that treatment with liraglutide was different from treatment with exenatide. Thus the null hypothesis and its alternative were H0: µliraglutide = µexenatide against HA1:µliraglutide ≠ µexenatide where µliraglutide and µexenatide is the mean value of the endpoint in the liraglutide arm and exenatide arm, respectively.p-value: 0.111995% CI: [-0.05, 0.01]ANCOVA
