About this study

Official title: Effect of Semaglutide Once-weekly Versus Insulin Aspart Three Times Daily, Both as Add on to Metformin and Optimised Insulin Glargine (U100) in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes A 52-week, Multi-centre, Multinational, Open-label, Active-controlled, Two Armed, Parallel-group, Randomised Trial in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This study will compare the effect of semaglutide once weekly to insulin aspart 3 times daily as add on to metformin and insulin glargine in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get insulin glargine and semaglutide or insulin glargine and insulin aspart - which treatment the participant get is decided by chance. Insulin glargine is taken once a day and semaglutide once a week. Insulin aspart is taken three times per day before a meal. All three medicines come in pre-filled pens for injection under the skin. The study will last for about 71 weeks. If participant's blood sugar gets under or over certain values participant will only participate in 14 weeks. The study doctor will inform the participant about this. The participant will have 15 clinic visits and 22 phone calls with the study doctor.

Being tested
Semaglutide, Insulin aspart, Insulin glargine U100
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • SemaglutideDrug

    Subjects will receive subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) injections of semaglutide once weekly (OW) with a dose of 0.25 mg. The dose should be increased after four weeks to 0.5 mg semaglutide. After 4 more weeks the dose can be increased to 1.0 mg semaglutide if the study doctor decides and further dose adjusted throughout the study.

  • Insulin aspartDrug

    Subjects should initiate treatment with 4U of Insulin aspart (s.c. injections) before each main meal, three times daily (TID). The dose will be adjusted individually based on pre-prandial and bedtime self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) from the preceding 3 days

  • Insulin glargine U100Drug

    Run-in period: Subjects will receive s.c. injections of IGlar U100 OD in accordance with the approved local label of IGlar U100. The dose will be adjusted based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values (target SMPG: 4.0-6.9 mmol/L)

Study groups in NCT03689374
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SemaglutideExperimentalRun-in period (12 weeks): subjects will be treated with metformin and insulin glargine (IGlar) U100. Treatment period: Participants who are not in glycaemic control (defined as HbA1c of more than or equal to 7.5% to less than or equal to 10%) after run-in will receive semaglutide for 52 weeks in addition to metformin and IGlar U100. Metformin will be considered as background therapy during the trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Change from baseline in HbA1c at week 52 is presented. Data is reported for 'on-treatment' observation period: from the date of first dose of trial product (week 0) to the last date on trial product with a visit window of +7 days (week 52).

    Measured: Baseline (week 0), week 52

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Time to First Event Adjudication Committee (EAC)-Confirmed Severe Hypoglycaemic Episode American Diabetes Association (ADA) From Randomization up to Week 52

    First event per 100 years of exposure time for first EAC confirmed severe hypoglycaemic episodes from randomization (week 0) to week 52 are presented. As per 2013 ADA criteria severe hypoglycaemic episodes were episodes with plasma glucose (PG) less than or equal to (<=) 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)). EAC confirmed-severe hypoglycaemia was an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon or take other corrective actions. Data is reported for 'on-treatment' observation period: from the date of first dose of trial product (week 0) to the last date on trial product with a visit window of +7 days (week 52).

    Measured: From randomization (week 0) up to week 52

  2. Time to First Event Adjudication Committee-confirmed Severe Hypoglycaemic Episode (ADA) Requiring Hospitalization, Documented Medical Help, or is Life-threatening Randomization up to Week 52

    First event per 100 years of exposure time for first EAC confirmed severe hypoglycaemic episodes requiring hospitalization, documented medical help, or is life threatening from randomization (week 0) to week 52 are presented. As per 2013 ADA criteria severe hypoglycaemic episodes were episodes with PG <=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). EAC confirmed-severe hypoglycaemia was an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon or take other corrective actions. Data is reported for 'on-treatment' observation period: from the date of first dose of trial product (week 0) to the last date on trial product with a visit window of +7 days (week 52).

    Measured: From randomization (week 0) up to week 52

  3. Number of Event Adjudication Committee-confirmed Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes (ADA) From Randomization to Week 52

    Number of EAC-confirmed severe hypoglycaemic episodes from randomization (week 0) up to week 52 are presented. As per 2013 ADA criteria severe hypoglycaemic episodes were episodes with PG <=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). EAC confirmed-severe hypoglycaemia was an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon or take other corrective actions. Data is reported for 'on-treatment' observation period: from the date of first dose of trial product (week 0) to the last date on trial product with a visit window of +7 days (week 52).

    Measured: From randomization (week 0) to week 52

  4. Number of Event Adjudication Committee-confirmed Severe (ADA) or Blood Glucose (BG) Confirmed, Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Plasma Glucose Less Than (<) 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL)) From Randomization to Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Semaglutide, Insulin aspart and Insulin glargine U100 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 210 sites in 21 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 5 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 14 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 210 sites in Germany, India, Poland, Greece, Turkey (Türkiye) and 16 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 4 May 2022). 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 Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline (week 0), week 52). 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 NCT03689374, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Nov 2022.
