Participant Flow

The trial was conducted in 43 sites in 5 countries: Algeria (3 sites), Germany (5 sites), Malaysia (3 sites), Turkey (3 sites), and United States (29 sites).

While entering the treatment period the subjects discontinued insulin glargine (IGlar) and sulfonylurea (SU)/glinides (if administered) but continued treatment with up to 3 other oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) as prescribed.

Measure
IDegAsp Simple
Insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) was injected subcutaneously (s.c.) in either abdomen, upper arm (deltoid area) or thigh. A pre-filled pen injector (PDS290) was used to administer IDegAsp. During treatment period subjects were allowed to continue up to 3 (oral antidiabetic drugs) OADs, except insulin glargine, sulphonylurea and glinides. In the IDegAsp twice daily (BID) simple titration algorithm arm, self-titration was performed twice weekly at intervals of 3-4 days and based upon a single pre-breakfast and pre-dinner self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) value.

During treatment period subjects were allowed to continue up to 3 (oral antidiabetic drugs) OADs, except insulin glargine, sulphonylurea and glinides. In the IDegAsp twice daily (BID) stepwise titration algorithm arm, self-titration was done once weekly based on the lowest of 3 pre-breakfast and 3 pre-dinner SMPG values (measurements on 3 consecutive days prior to titration).

Population: The safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product.

Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of episodes of severe hypoglycaemia and minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

IDegAsp Simple
n=135 participants at risk
Insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) was injected subcutaneously (s.c.) in either abdomen, upper arm (deltoid area) or thigh. A pre-filled pen injector (PDS290) was used to administer IDegAsp. During treatment period subjects were allowed to continue up to 3 (oral antidiabetic drugs) OADs, except insulin glargine, sulphonylurea and glinides. In the IDegAsp twice daily (BID) simple titration algorithm arm, self-titration was performed twice weekly at intervals of 3-4 days and based upon a single pre-breakfast and pre-dinner self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) value.
IDegAsp Step Wise
n=134 participants at risk
IDegAsp was injected subcutaneously (s.c.) in either abdomen, upper arm (deltoid area) or thigh. A pre-filled pen injector (PDS290) was used to administer IDegAsp. During treatment period subjects were allowed to continue up to 3 (oral antidiabetic drugs) OADs, except insulin glargine, sulphonylurea and glinides. In the IDegAsp twice daily (BID) stepwise titration algorithm arm, self-titration was done once weekly based on the lowest of 3 pre-breakfast and 3 pre-dinner SMPG values (measurements on 3 consecutive days prior to titration).
