Study summary

This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to compare the glycaemic control when subjects initiate a biphasic insulin aspart 30 treatment followed by an intensified treatment if treatment target of HbA1c below 7% is not reached by OAD (oral anti-diabetic drugs) alone.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) From Baseline to Week 11

    Estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c after 11 weeks of treatment

    Time frame: Week 0, Week 11

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) From Baseline to Week 36

    Estimated mean change from baseline in FPG after 36 weeks of treatment

    Time frame: Week 0, Week 36

  2. Number of Treatment Emergent Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    A hypoglycaemic episode will be defined as treatment emergent if the onset of the episode is on or after the first day of trial product, and no later than the last day on trial product.

    Time frame: Week 0 to Week 36
