Participant Flow

This trial was conducted at 20 sites in China.

All subjects who completed the 24 week treatment and did not achieve the target of glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) below 7% in trial BIAsp-3756 (NCT01123980) were offered the possibility to go into BIAsp-3883. Subjects continued their previous treatment unchanged from trial BIASP-3756 and throughout the one-week screening period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 0-16

Population: Full analysis set using LOCF (last observation carried forward) consists of all randomised subjects who were exposed to at least one dose of the trial product(s).

Treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episodes (hypos): those that happened between treatment and one day after last drug day. Hypos summarised based on American Diabetes Association classification. Severe hypos: episodes requiring another person to actively administer resuscitative actions. Minor hypos: episodes with symptoms with plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) handled by the subject, or any asymptomatic plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL). Diurnal period: between 06:00 and 23:59 (both included). Nocturnal period: between 00:00 and 05:59 a.m. (both included).
