| NCT03737240 | IDegLira HIGH Trial | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 145 | — | — | Jan 15, 2019 | Jul 8, 2022 | Sep 8, 2023 | 2 | United States |
HbA1c will be compared between study groups. HbA1c measures the average percentage of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months and HbA1c can reduce with management of diabetes through diet, exercise, and medication. HbA1c levels below 5.7% are considered normal. Persons with values between 5.7% and 6.4% are considered at high risk of developing diabetes while those with values of 6.5% and above are diagnosed with diabetes. Persons with diabetes aim to get their HbA1c in the range of 7.0 to 7.5% or lower, with below 7.0% being preferable.
| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IDegLira | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants in this group will receive IDegLira (with metformin, unless contraindicated) for 26 weeks. |
| Basal-Bolus Insulin | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | Participants in this group will receive basal-bolus insulin (with metformin, unless contraindicated) for 26 weeks. The basal-bolus insulin regimen includes Insulin Degludec (U-100) and Insulin Aspart. |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IDegLira | DRUG | Participants in this study arm will discontinue all other diabetes medications, except for metformin which will be continued at prescribed dose (unless contraindicated). IDegLira will be given once daily, at the same time of the day with or without food for 26 weeks. IDegLira will be titrated until the maximum dose is reached, up to the target fasting blood glucose of 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). |
| Insulin Degludec (U-100) | DRUG | Participants in the basal-bolus insulin study arm will discontinue all other diabetes medications, except for metformin which will be continued at the prescribed dose (unless contraindicated). Insulin Degludec (U-100) will be given once daily at the same time for 26 weeks. The dose will be titrated up to the fasting blood glucose target of 70 to 100 mg/dL, with no maximum dose. |
| Insulin Aspart | DRUG | Participants in the basal-bolus insulin study arm will discontinue all other diabetes medications, except for metformin which will be continued at the prescribed dose (unless contraindicated). Insulin aspart will be taken before meals with a titration schedule and dose adjustment protocol to target pre-meal blood glucose level of 70 to 100 mg/dL. |
