This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) and insulin degludec (IDeg) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin throughout the entire trial.

- Diabetes, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
- Being tested
- insulin degludec/liraglutide, insulin degludec
- Medical subject headings

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
insulin degludec/liraglutideDrug
IDeg/Lira treatment will be initiated and titrated (individually adjusted) twice weekly according to the mean self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) (fasting). IDegLira is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily.
insulin degludecDrug
IDeg treatment will be initiated and titrated (individually adjusted) twice weekly according to the mean self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) (fasting). IDeg is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IDegLira + metformin | Experimental | IDegLira was injected subcutaneously once daily for 26 weeks. Receives: Drug: insulin degludec/liraglutide |
| IDeg + metformin | Experimental | IDeg was injected subcutaneously once daily for 26 weeks. Receives: Drug: insulin degludec |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)
Observed mean change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 Weeks of treatment.
Measured: Week 0, week 26

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing insulin degludec/liraglutide and insulin degludec in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 86 sites in 7 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 9 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 3 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 86 sites in United States, Bulgaria, India, Switzerland, Hungary and 2 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 Jan 2017). 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 From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) (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 NCT01392573, which also lists 7 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 3 Jan 2019.
