Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Week 0, week 16

Change from baseline (week 0) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated at week 16. The endpoint was evaluated based on data from the in-trial observation period. In-trial observation period was from date of randomisation and until last trial-related participant-site contact.

Change in the Percentage of HbA1c
Week 0, Week 26

Change from baseline (week 0) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period. In-trial period: the observation period from date of randomisation until last trial-related participant-site contact and included data collected after a subject discontinued trial product.

Change From Baseline in HbA1c 26 Weeks After Randomisation
Week 0, week 26

Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period. In-trial period: the observation period from date of randomisation until last trial-related subject-site contact.

Number of Microscopically Confirmed Episodes of Infusion Set Occlusions
During 6 weeks of treatment

The number of microscopically confirmed episodes of infusion set occlusions during 6 weeks of treatment. Episodes of infusion set occlusions were confirmed by microscopic examination of the infusion sets at each routine weekly visit and infusion sets that had been changed prematurely because of leakage, unexplained hyperglycaemia or suspicion of occlusion (observation of a plug).

Change From Baseline in HbA1c
Week 0, week 18

For this endpoint, baseline (week 0) and week 18 data are presented, where week 18 data are the "end of trial" data containing last available measurements.

Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin)
Week 0, week 26

Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of randomised treatment.

Continuous subcutaneous infusion related area under the insulin aspart curve, baseline corrected and based on concentrations from 0 to 30 min
