The trial

How DUAL was run

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to compare sequential addition of insulin aspart versus further dose increase with insulin degludec/liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, previously treated with insulin degludec/liraglutide and metformin and in need of further intensification. This is an extension to trial NN9068-3952, NCT01952145 (DUAL™ V).

  • Insulin degludec/liraglutide + Metformin
  • Insulin degludec/liraglutide + Insulin Aspart + Metformin
Who could join the trial

Inclusion Criteria: * Completion (Visit 28) of NN9068-3952 with insulin degludec/liraglutide + metformin * HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) above or equal to 7 percent at Visit 27 of NN9068-3952 trial Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant diseases of the major organ systems * Screening calcitonin above or equal to 50 ng/L
