Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effect of insulin detemir in combination with liraglutide and metformin versus liraglutide and metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will continue their own pre-trial metformin treatment during the trial.

Interventions

DRUGliraglutide

Liraglutide 1.8 mg/day for subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.

DRUGinsulin detemir

Insulin detemir subcutaneous (under the skin) injection once daily. Dose will be titrated (individually adjusted) based on fasting self-measured plasma glucose levels according to a pre-specified algorithm

DRUGmetformin

Metformin tablets, at least 1500 mg/day

Pre-assignment details

Subjects on metformin and/or sulpholynurea treatment underwent a 12-week run-in period with liraglutide + metformin.

Comparison: The estimated treatment difference between Detemir+Lira 1.8 and Lira 1.8 as well as 95% confidence interval and p-value were calculated by an ANCOVA model with treatment, country and previous OAD as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate. The p-value reflects a two-sided test for the null hypothesis of no difference between the two treatment groups with a significance level of 5% and with the power of 90%.95% CI: [-0.68, -0.36]ANCOVA

Mean Change From Randomisation in Fasting Insulin at Week 26

Time frame: Week 0 (Randomisation), Week 26

Population: Data on fasting insulin could not be obtained for the insulin detemir+liraglutide 1.8 mg+metformin (Detemir + Lira 1.8 group) treated subjects due to cross-reactivity between insulin detemir and the insulin assay. Data from both goups were therefore not further investigated by ANCOVA why no data is presented for this endpoint.
