Treatment Intensification With Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled on Sitagliptin and Metformin

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to generate data demonstrating how to intensify diabetes treatment using BIAsp 30 (biphasic insulin aspart 30) by adding or substituting BIAsp 30 to sitagliptin in various regimens for type 2 patients inadequately controlled on sitagliptin and metformin (with or without other oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs)). The trial is conducted as a phase 4 trial in the majority of the participating countries. However, in some countries the trial is conducted as phase 3b.

Official TitleA 24 Week Randomised, Open Label, 3 Parallel-group Comparison of Once and Twice Daily Biphasic Insulin Aspart (BIAsp) 30 Plus Sitagliptin and Twice Daily BIAsp 30, All in Combination With Metformin in Insulin naïve Type 2 Diabetic Subjects Inadequately Controlled on Sitagliptin and Metformin
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America. The aim of this clinical
trial is to generate data demonstrating how to intensify diabetes treatment using BIAsp 30
(biphasic insulin aspart 30) by adding or substituting BIAsp 30 to sitagliptin in various
regimens for type 2 patients inadequately controlled on sitagliptin and metformin (with or
without other oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs)).

The trial is conducted as a phase 4 trial in the majority of the participating countries.
However, in some countries the trial is conducted as phase 3b.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for a minimum of 6 months prior to screening (Visit 1)

- Stable treatment with a total daily dose of at least 1000 mg of metformin (with or
without additional oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) treatment). The metformin dose
must have been unchanged for at least 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1)

- Stable treatment with a total daily dose of at least 100 mg sitagliptin. The
sitagliptin dose must have been unchanged for at least 3 months prior to screening
(Visit 1)

- Subject is insulin-naïve (never previously treated with insulin). (However, short
term insulin use due to intermittent illness of up to 14 days or insulin treatment
for gestational diabetes is allowed)

- HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) between 7.0 to 10.0 % (53-86 mmol/mol) (both
inclusive) by central laboratory analysis demonstrating inadequate control on
sitagliptin and metformin (with or without other OADs)

- Body Mass Index (BMI) below or equal to 40.0 kg/m^2

- Able and willing to eat at least 2 meals (breakfast and dinner) every day during the
trial

Exclusion Criteria:

- Treatment with thiazolidinedione (TZD) or glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor
agonist within the last 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1)

- Cardiac disease within the last 6 months prior to screening (Visit 1), defined as:
decompensated heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV;
unstable angina pectoris; or myocardial infarction

- Severe hypertension, systolic blood pressure equal to or above 180 mm Hg or diastolic
blood pressure equal to or above 100 mm Hg, after 5 minutes rest in the sitting
position using mean value of 3 measurements at screening (Visit 1)

- Anticipated change of dose of any systemic treatment with products, which in the
trial physician's opinion could interfere with glucose metabolism (e.g., systemic
corticosteroids)

- Clinically significant diseases (except for conditions associated with type 2
diabetes) which, in the trial physician's opinion may confound the results of the
trial or pose additional risk in administering trial product(s)

- Impaired hepatic function as indicated by aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) or
alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) above 2.5 times the upper normal range, according to
central laboratory reference ranges

- Impaired renal function as indicated by serum creatinine levels equal to or above 133
micromol/L (1.5 mg/dL) for males and equal to or above 124 micromol/L (1.4 mg/dL) for
females or estimated creatinine clearance below 60 mL/min, based on the Cockroft &
Gault formula and according to local practise for metformin use
