Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Semaglutide | Participants received metformin, IGlar U100 and semaglutide for 52 weeks in treatment period. Metformin dose was maintained at same level and frequency as optimized in run-in period unless safety concern related to background medication arose; IGlar U100 dose was adjusted in run-in period, increases in IGlar U100 dose was based on mean of 3 prebreakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values obtained on day of visit/telephone contact and 2 days before contact and dose reduction of IGlar U100 was considered in accordance with approved local label to reduce risk of hypoglycaemia. Participants self-administered s.c. injection of semaglutide at an initiation dose of 0.25 mg once weekly, after 4 weeks dose was increased to 0.5 mg, and 1 mg after at least 4 weeks to further improve glycaemic control, at investigator's discretion. Dose reduction from 1 to 0.5 mg was allowed in case of safety concern/unacceptable intolerability. Participants were followed up for 5 weeks (week 57) for safety. | 12 | 874 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Insulin Aspart | Participants received metformin, IGlar U100 and insulin aspart for 52 weeks in treatment period. Metformin dose was maintained at same level and frequency as optimized in run-in period unless safety concern related to background medication arose; IGlar U100 dose was adjusted in run-in period, increases in IGlar U100 dose was based on mean of 3 prebreakfast SMPG values obtained on day of visit/telephone contact and 2 days before contact and dose reduction of IGlar U100 was considered in accordance with approved local label to reduce risk of hypoglycaemia. Participants self-administered s.c. injection of insulin aspart at an initiation dose of 4 units three times daily, dose adjustments were considered twice weekly based on pre-prandial and bedtime SMPG from the preceding 3 days and the individualized goal according to investigator's discretion. Participants were followed up for 5 weeks (week 57) for safety. | 1 | 864 | EG001 |
