Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
This study was conducted at 575 sites in 40 countries between August 22, 2003 and December 19, 2011. Three sites were closed and data from these sites were not analyzed following site audits and in compliance with rulings from national health authorities.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
The purpose of the factorial design was to efficiently answer two independent scientifically worthwhile questions regarding insulin glargine and omega-3 fatty acids within the context of a single clinical trial. Sample size was determined based on the insulin glargine study objective. Results reported below are those of the insulin glargine study.

Measure Type Secondary
Measure Title Composite Diabetic Microvascular Outcome (Kidney or Eye Disease)
Measure Description

The composite outcome used to analyze microvascular disease progression contained components of clinical events:

  • the occurrence of laser surgery or vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy (DR);
  • the development of blindness due to DR;
  • the occurrence of renal death or renal replacement therapy; as well as the following laboratory-based events:
  • doubling of serum creatinine; or
  • progression of albuminuria (from none to microalbuminuria [at least 30 mg/g creatinine], to macroalbuminuria [at least 300 mg/g creatinine]).
Time Frame from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)  
Safety Issue No  

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.

The analysis was based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population i.e. all randomized participants.

For the endpoint's composition, the numbers only summarize the event when it was the first occurrence of the endpoint. A participant is counted only once within a category. The same participant may appear in different categories.
