Insulin icodec
DrugParticipants will receive subcutaneous (s.c.) injections of insulin icodec once weekly for 26 weeks
NCT Number: NCT04880850
This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin glargine (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes.
The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin glargine 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 glargine that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants will get is decided by chance. 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 8 months. participants will have 17 clinic visits and 13 phone calls with the study doctor.At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 4 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 their blood sugar all the time in 3 periods for a total of 13 weeks (about 3 months) during the study.
Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

Time frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 26
Change in HbA1c from baseline (week 0) to week 26 is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period. In-trial observation period started at randomisation and ended at the date of the last direct participant-site contact, withdrawal for participants who withdrew their informed consent, the last participant-investigator contact as defined by the investigator for participants who were lost to follow-up (i.e., possibly an unscheduled phone visit) and death for participants who died before any of the above.
Time frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 26
Change in FPG from baseline (week 0) to week 26 is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period. In-trial observation period started at randomisation and ended at the date of the last direct participant-site contact, withdrawal for participants who withdrew their informed consent, the last participant-investigator contact as defined by the investigator for participants who were lost to follow-up (i.e., possibly an unscheduled phone visit) and death for participants who died before any of the above.
Time frame: From week 22 to week 26
Percentage of time in target-range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system from week 22 to week 26 is presented. Time in target range is defined as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in glycaemic target range 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL), both inclusive, divided by the total number of recorded measurements. The outcome data was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period. In-trial observation period started at randomisation and ended at the date of the last direct participant-site contact, withdrawal for participants who withdrew their informed consent, the last participant-investigator contact as defined by the investigator for participants who were lost to follow-up (i.e., possibly an unscheduled phone visit) and death for participants who died before any of the above.
Time frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 31
Severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3) were defined as episodes that were associated with severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance for recovery. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment observation period. The on-treatment observation period started at the date of first dose of trial product as recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF), and ended at the first date of any of the following: The end of trial visit, the last date on trial product + 5 weeks for once daily insulin and + 6 weeks for once weekly insulin (corresponding to 5 weeks after the end of the dosing interval for both treatment arms) and the end-date for the in-trial observation period.
Time frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 31
Clinically significant hypoglycaemic episodes (level 2) were defined as episodes that were sufficiently low to indicate serious, clinically important hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose value of less than (<) 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL). The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment observation period. The on-treatment observation period started at the date of first dose of trial product as recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF), and ended at the first date of any of the following: The end of trial visit, the last date on trial product + 5 weeks for once daily insulin and + 6 weeks for once weekly insulin (corresponding to 5 weeks after the end of the dosing interval for both treatment arms) and the end-date for the in-trial observation period.

Percentage of time spent less than (<) 3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL) using CGM system from week 22 to week 26 is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the in-trial observation period.
