biphasic insulin aspart 30Drug
Injected s.c. (under the skin) with the breakfast meal and main evening meal. The dose were individually adjusted. Subjects continued their pre-trial OADs (oral antidiabetic drug(s)) treatment of Metformin, the specific DPP-4 Inhibitor and Pioglitazone.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment.
Measured: Week 0, Week 26
Secondary outcomes (3)
Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG)
Mean of SMPG after 26 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.
Measured: Week 26
Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as 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.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up
Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as 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. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
Measured: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing insulin degludec/insulin aspart and biphasic insulin aspart 30 in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 53 sites in 10 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 53 sites in India, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Australia and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: Week 0, Week 26). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01009580, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
