About this study
Official title: EFFectiveness of Once-weekly Insulin ICodec Versus Once-daily Basal Insulin Analogues in an Insulin-naïve Type 2 diabEtes Population in Real-world cliNical pracTice- The EFFICIENT Pragmatic Study Effectiveness of Insulin Icodec in Real-world Clinical Practice
This study compares insulin icodec, taken once a week, with other basal insulins, taken once a day, in people with type 2 diabetes.The purpose of this study is to see how well the approved injectable weekly insulin icodec maintains blood sugar levels when compared to approved and available daily injectable basal insulins in people with type 2 diabetes. The participants will either be prescribed weekly insulin icodec or a daily basal insulin (insulin glargine, insulin detemir or insulin degludec) based on current standards for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study will last for about 13 months.
- Conditions
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
- Being tested
- Insulin icodec, Basal insulin analogues
- 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.
Insulin icodecDrug
Insulin icodec will be administered as subcutaneous injection.
Basal insulin analoguesDrug
Basal insulin analogues will be administered as subcutaneous injection.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Insulin icodec | Experimental | Participants will receive subcutaneous (s.c) injection of once weekly insulin icodec. Receives: Drug: Insulin icodec |
| Basal insulin analogues | Active comparator | Participants will receive once daily s.c. injection of basal insulin analogues. Receives: Drug: Basal insulin analogues |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Measured as %-point.
Measured: From baseline week 0 to week 52
Secondary outcomes (7)
Adelphi Adherence Questionnaire (ADAQ©)
Measured as Score. The ADAQ© score is calculated as the mean of 11 individual items, each rated on a scale from 0 to 4. To obtain the mean score, at least 8 of these items must be answered. A lower score indicates greater adherence.
Measured: At week 52
Change in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire- status version(DTSQs) total treatment satisfaction
Measured as Score of 0-36. DTSQs score ranges from 0 to 36, based on 6 items that are each rated on a scale of 0 to 6. A higher score reflects greater satisfaction with the treatment received.
Measured: From baseline week 0 to week 52
Treatment Related Impact Measure for Diabetes (TRIM-D) compliance domain
Measured as Score of 4-20.The score ranges from 4 to 20, based on 4 items rated on a scale of 1 to 5. This score is then transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate better compliance.
Measured: At week 52
Treatment Related Impact Measure for Diabetes (TRIM-D) treatment burden domain
Measured as Score of 6-30. The score ranges from 6 to 30, derived from 6 items each rated on a scale of 1 to 5. This score is then transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate less treatment burden.
Measured: At week 52
Number of severe hypoglycaemic episodes (level 3)
Measured as Number of episodes.
Measured: From baseline week 0 to week 52
Mean weekly basal insulin dose
Measures in Units.
Measured: From week 50 to week 52
Participant achieved individualised HbA1c target
Reported as Yes or No.
Measured: At week 52

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Insulin icodec and Basal insulin analogues in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 75 sites in 3 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 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 75 sites in Canada, Germany, Italy. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Novo Nordisk ((+1) 866-867-7178, clinicaltrials@novonordisk.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: From baseline week 0 to week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 Aug 2026.
