A Research Study to Compare Two Types of Insulin: Insulin 287 and Insulin Glargine in People With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Not Used Insulin Before

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-01-17
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study compares insulin 287 (a possible new medicine) to insulin glargine (a medicine doctors can already prescribe) in people with type 2 diabetes. Different ways of changing the dose of insulin 287 are also compared. This is done to find the best way to change the dose of insulin 287. Participants will either get insulin 287 that they will have to inject once a week or insulin glargine that participants will have to inject once a day. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 5 months (23 weeks). Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 6 phone calls with the study doctor. At 3 of the clinic visits participants will be asked not to eat or drink anything (except for water) in the last 8 hours before the visit. During the study, the study doctor will ask participants to:

• measure blood sugar every day with a blood sugar meter using a finger prick.

• write down different information in a diary daily and return this to the study doctor.

• wear a medical device (sensor) that measure blood sugar all the time for 18 weeks (about 4 months) during the study.

Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
