Brief summary

This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin) to insulin degludec (an insulin already available on the market) in people with type 1 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week, or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided at random. Participants will also get a mealtime insulin. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 1 year and 2 months. Participants will have 28 clinic visits and 28 phone calls with the study doctor. At 11 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 6 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures your blood sugar all the time. Participants will be asked to wear it for a total of 57 weeks (around 1 year). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Insulin Icodec + Insulin Aspart
Participants received Insulin icodec along with Insulin aspart for 52 weeks subcutaneously. Participants received once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of Insulin icodec using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial total daily basal insulin dose + 50% or 100% of their 7 times total daily basal insulin dose depending on insulin regime and HbA1c level. The following weekly dose was 7 times the total daily dose of the respective participants ('unit to unit switch' approach: current daily dose x 7). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG). The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: \< 4.4 mmol/L: dose reduced by 20 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; \> 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 20 U. Dose titration of insulin aspart was based on the respective premeal(s) and bedtime self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) measured weekly.
290
Insulin Degludec + Insulin Aspart
Participants received Insulin degludec along with Insulin aspart for 52 weeks subcutaneously. Participants received once daily s.c. injection of Insulin degludec using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a dose in accordance with local label. Participants were to perform once daily SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: \< 4.4 millimoles per liter (mmol/L): dose reduced by 3 units (U); 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; \> 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 3 U. Dose titration of insulin aspart was based on the respective premeal(s) and bedtime SMPG measured weekly.
