Further Details

Primary Outcome Measures:

  • Change in HbA1c from baseline (Visit 2) to 32 weeks. [Time Frame: Visit 2 to 32 weeks]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  • Actual and change from baseline HbA1c value. [Time Frame: 8,16, 24, 32 Weeks]
  • Percentage of patients with HbA1c less than or equal to 7.0% and HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5% at endpoint. [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]
  • 7-point self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) profiles and glycemic variability from these profiles at endpoint. [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]
  • The incidence, 30-day adjusted rate, and 1-year adjusted rate of self-reported hypoglycemic episodes (throughout the study and at endpoint), including nocturnal and non-nocturnal; and severe hypoglycemia. [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]
  • Absolute body weight (kg) and incremental weight change from baseline to endpoint. [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]
  • Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]
  • Insulin dose (total and by component [basal and bolus]). [Time Frame: 32 Weeks]

Study Start

June 2007; Expected completion: July 2008
