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.

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 group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | Experimental | Run-in period (12 weeks): subjects will be treated with metformin and insulin glargine (IGlar) U100.

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
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
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

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.

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.
