Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Insulin degludec/insulin aspart |
Drug: insulin degludec/insulin aspart
Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily with a main meal. Dose individually adjusted.
Drug: insulin aspart
Administered s.c. with the remaining meals. Dose individually adjusted.
|
Active Comparator: Insulin detemir |
Drug: insulin detemir
Administered s.c. once or twice daily. Dose individually adjusted. Subjects will continue with their pre-trial dosing scheme (once (OD) or twice daily (BID)) and will be allowed to switch from OD to BID dosing.
Drug: insulin aspart
Administered s.c. at meal-times. Dose individually adjusted.

- Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) (%) [ Time Frame: Week 0 to week 16 ]Percentage point change in glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline (week 0) to 16 Weeks. Change from baseline summary statistics at week 16 contains only those who had both baseline and week 16 assesment.
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose [ Time Frame: week 0, week 16 ]Change from baseline in FPG after 16 weeks of treatment. Change from baseline summary statistics at week 16 contains only those who had both baseline and week 16 assesment.
- Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: After 16 weeks of treatment ]A Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) was defined as an event with onset date on or after the first day of exposure to randomised treatment and no later than 7 days after the last day on randomised treatment.
- Number of Treatment Emergent Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes (Plasma Glucose (PG) Below 3.1mmol/L (56mg/dL) or Severe Hypoglycaemia) [ Time Frame: After 16 weeks of treatment ]
Treatment emergent hypoglycaemic episodes (PG < 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycaemia).
Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were either:
- Severe (i.e. the child is having altered mental status and cannot assist in their care, is semiconscious or unconscious or in coma with or without convulsions and may require parenteral therapy (glucagon or i.v. glucose), or
- An episode biochemically confirmed by PG value of <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL), with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.
- Number of Treatment Emergent Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes [ Time Frame: After 16 weeks of treatment ]The confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes occurring between 23:00 and 07:00 were considered for this endpoint
- Number of Hyperglycaemic Episodes (PG Above 14.0 mmol/L (250 mg/dL) Where Subject Looks/Feels Ill [ Time Frame: After 16 weeks of treatment ]The episode of hyperglycaemia was noted when the glucose measurement was 14.0mmol/L or above and the subject looked /felt ill.
- Number of Hyperglycaemic Episodes (PG Above 14.0 mmol/L (250 mg/dL) Where Subject Looks/Feels Ill With Ketosis (Blood Ketones Above 1.5 mmol/L) [ Time Frame: After 16 weeks of treatment ]The episode of hyperglycaemia was noted when the glucose measurement was 14.0mmol/L or above and the subject looked /felt ill. The ketone meaurement involved an additional finger prick and ketosis was considered present if blood ketones were higher than 1.5mmol/L
