Efficacy and Safety of Toujeo® Versus Tresiba® in Insulin-Naive Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Oral Antihyperglycemic Drug(s) ± GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. Adjusted Least Square (LS) means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data, using all post-baseline HbA1c data available during the 24-week on-treatment period.

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 value. Adjusted least square means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with MMRM.

Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 and Week 24 value. Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM including post baseline values during the 24-week on-treatment period.

Fasting SMPG was measured by the participant before breakfast and before the administration of the glucose-lowering agents once a day during the study. Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM including post baseline values during the 24 week on treatment period.

8-point SMPG profiles were measured at the following 8 points: 03:00 at night, pre-breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, pre-lunch, 2 hours after lunch, pre-dinner, 2 hours after dinner, and bedtime.

4-point SMPG profiles were measured at the following 4 points: prebreakfast, prelunch, predinner and bedtime.

The 8-point SMPG profile was measured at the following 8 points: 03:00 at night, pre-breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, pre-lunch, 2 hours after lunch, pre-dinner, 2 hours after dinner, and bedtime. Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM.

Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM. Variability was assessed by the mean of coefficient of variation calculated over at least 3 SMPG measured during the 7 days preceding the given visit.

Adjusted LS means were obtained from MMRM.

Only the post-baseline HbA1c measurements before rescue and during the 12 week and 24-week on-treatment period were considered in the analysis.

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed by plasma glucose =<3.9 mmol/L (=<70 mg/dL).

Percentage of participants With Sulphonylurea or Meglitinide dose reduction/ discontinuation due to Hypoglycemia during 24 Week treatment period were reported. Only participants with Sulphonylurea or meglitinides at Screening as per actual strata were taken into account in this analysis.

Routine fasting SMPG and central laboratory FPG (and HbA1c after Week 12) values were used to determine the requirement of rescue medication. Threshold values at Week 12: FPG >200 mg/dL (11 mmol/L), or HbA1c >8.5%.

Only the insulin dose measurements performed before initiation of rescue therapy and during the on-treatment period were considered in the analysis.

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed with plasma glucose =<70 mg/dL (=<3.9 mmol/L), or < 54 mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L). Assessment was done by treatment period (for =<12 weeks, for >12 weeks to =<24 weeks (24W)). Percentage of participants with at least one hypoglycemia (hypo) event at any time of the day were reported.

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycaemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed with plasma glucose =<70 mg/dL (=<3.9 mmol/L), or < 54 mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L). Nocturnal hypoglycemia was hypoglycemia that occurred between 00:00 and 05:59 hours (clock time). Assessment was done by treatment period (for =<12 weeks, for >12 weeks to =<24 weeks).

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Severe and/or confirmed hypoglycemia event was a severe event or an event confirmed with plasma glucose =<70 mg/dL (=<3.9 mmol/L), or < 54 mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L).

The DTSQs is a validated questionnaire to assess participant's satisfaction with their diabetes treatment. It consists of 8 items that are answered on a Likert scale from 0 to 6. Total treatment satisfaction score is the sum of items 1, 4-8 scores and ranged from 0 (no satisfaction) to 36 (high satisfaction with treatment). Adjusted least square means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with MMRM.
