About this study

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North and South America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart once daily plus insulin aspart for the remaining meals in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Being tested
insulin degludec/insulin aspart, insulin aspart, insulin detemir
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin degludec/insulin aspartDrug

    Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily with a main meal. Dose individually adjusted.

  • insulin aspartDrug

    Administered s.c. with the remaining meals. Dose individually adjusted.

  • insulin detemirDrug

    Administered s.c. once or twice daily. Dose individually adjusted. Subjects will continue with their pre-trial dosing scheme (once (OD) or twice daily (BID)) and will be allowed to switch from OD to BID dosing.

  • insulin aspartDrug

    Administered s.c. at meal-times. Dose individually adjusted.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) (%)

    Percentage point change in glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline (week 0) to 16 Weeks. Change from baseline summary statistics at week 16 contains only those who had both baseline and week 16 assesment.

    Measured: Week 0 to week 16

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    Change from baseline in FPG after 16 weeks of treatment. Change from baseline summary statistics at week 16 contains only those who had both baseline and week 16 assesment.

    Measured: week 0, week 16

  2. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was defined as an event with onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days after the last day on randomised treatment.

    Measured: After 16 weeks of treatment

  3. Number of Treatment Emergent Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Plasma Glucose (PG) Below 3.1mmol/L (56mg/dL) or Severe Hypoglycaemia)

    Treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episodes (PG < 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycaemia).

    Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were either:

    1. Severe (i.e. the child is having altered mental status and cannot assist in their care, is semiconscious or unconscious or in coma with or without convulsions and may require parenteral therapy (glucagon or i.v. glucose), or
    2. An episode biochemically confirmed by PG value of <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL), with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.

    Measured: After 16 weeks of treatment

  4. Number of Treatment Emergent Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    The confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes occurring between 23:00 and 07:00 were considered for this endpoint

    Measured: After 16 weeks of treatment

  5. Number of Hyperglycaemic Episodes (PG Above 14.0 mmol/L (250 mg/dL) Where Subject Looks/Feels Ill

    The episode of hyperglycaemia was noted when the glucose measurement was 14.0mmol/L or above and the subject looked /felt ill.

    Measured: After 16 weeks of treatment

  6. Number of Hyperglycaemic Episodes (PG Above 14.0 mmol/L (250 mg/dL) Where Subject Looks/Feels Ill With Ketosis (Blood Ketones Above 1.5 mmol/L)

    The episode of hyperglycaemia was noted when the glucose measurement was 14.0mmol/L or above and the subject looked /felt ill. The ketone meaurement involved an additional finger prick and ketosis was considered present if blood ketones were higher than 1.5mmol/L

    Measured: After 16 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing insulin degludec/insulin aspart, insulin aspart and insulin detemir in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 73 sites in 15 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 11 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 73 sites in United States, India, Israel, Canada, Russia and 10 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 17 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 From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) (%) (time frame: Week 0 to week 16). 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 NCT01835431, which also lists 2 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 11 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
