Background Insulin degludec is a new basal insulin that forms soluble multihexamer assemblies after subcutaneous injection, resulting in an ultra-long action profile. This study aimed to assess efficacy and safety of insulin degludec injected once a day or three times a week compared with insulin glargine once a day in insulin-naive people with type 2 diabetes, who were inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs.
Methods In this 16-week, randomised, open-label, parallel-group phase 2 trial, participants aged 18–75 years with type 2 diabetes and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) of 7・0–11・0% were enrolled and treated at 28 clinical sites in Canada, India, South Africa, and the USA. Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1:1:1 ratio by computer generated block randomisation to receive insulin degludec either once a day or three times a week or insulin glargine once a day, all in combination with metformin. Investigators were masked to data until database release. The primary outcome was HbA1C after 16 weeks of treatment. Analyses were done by intention to treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00611884.
Before Randomisation Before trial entry, participants had to be insulin-naive and have been treated with one or two oral antidiabetic drugs (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors, sulphonylurea, or meglitindes) for more than 2 months at stable half-maximum to maximum allowed doses. Patients were excluded if they were treated with thiazolidinediones, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, or other interventions that could interfere with glucose metabolism within 3 months of the start of the trial. Before randomisation, eligible participants discontinued their pretrial oral antidiabetic drug treatment and underwent a 2-week forced metformin-titration period (dose increased to 2000 mg per day; 1000 mg at breakfast and evening meal), which was followed up by a 1-week metformin maintenance period. Patients were eligible for randomisation if the maximum metformin dose (2000 mg) or maximum-tolerated dose (1500 mg) per day remained unchanged in the maintenance period, and if the median before-breakfast self-monitored blood glucose value (measured on 3 consecutive days immediately before randomisation) was 7・5 mmol/L (135 mg/dl) or more.

Interpretation Physiological replacement of insulin in diabetes is challenging and remains an elusive goal, as evidenced by the many patients who do not achieve recommended treatment targets. In basal insulin replacement, the presently used insulin analogues glargine and determir have some advantages over human neutral protamine hagedorn insulin. Insulin degludec has a half-life longer than 24 h and was developed to provide a more appropriate basal pharmacokinetic profi le. In this proof-of-concept phase 2 study in patients with type 2 diabetes, insulin degludec provided much the same glycaemic control as did insulin glargine when injected once a day. Because of its ultra-long action profile, insulin degludec could also be injected three-times weekly and still provide comparable glycaemic control to insulin glargine once a day. This new basal insulin analogue might be a valuable addition to clinical practice.
Findings Of 367 patients screened, 245 were eligible for inclusion. 62 participants were randomly allocated to receive insulin degludec three times a week (starting dose 20 U per injection [1 U=9 nmol]), 60 to receive insulin degludec once a day (starting dose 10 U [1 U=6 nmol]; group A), 61 to receive insulin degludec once a day (starting dose 10 U [1 U=9 nmol]; group B), and 62 to receive insulin glargine (starting dose 10 U [1 U=6 nmol]) once a day. At study end, mean HbA1C levels were much the same across treatment groups, at 7・3% (SD 1・1), 7・4% (1・0), 7・5% (1・1), and 7・2% (0・9), respectively. Estimated mean HbA1C treatment differences from insulin degludec by comparison with insulin glargine were 0・08% (95% CI –0・23 to 0・40) for the three dose per week schedule, 0・17% (–0・15 to 0・48) for group A, and 0・28% (–0・04 to 0・59) for group B. Few participants had hypoglycaemiaand the number of adverse events was much the same across groups, with no apparent treatment specific pattern.
Interpretation Insulin degludec provides comparable glycaemic control to insulin glargine without additional adverse events and might reduce dosing frequency due to its ultra-long action profile. Funding Novo Nordisk.

Objective To assess the cost-effectiveness of low dose statins for primary prevention of vascular disease, incorporating current prices, non-adherence (reduced clinical efficacy while maintaining healthcare costs), and the results of the recently published JUPITER trial.
Design Cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov model. Sensitivity analyses and Monte Carlo simulation evaluated the robustness of the results. SettingPrimary care in The Netherlands. ParticipantsHypothetical populations of men and women aged 45 to 75 years without a history of vascular disease at different levels of risk for vascular disease (myocardial infarction and stroke) over 10 years. InterventionsLow dose statin treatment daily versus no treatment for 10 years. Main outcome measures Number of fatal and nonfatal vascular events prevented, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios over 10 years.
Fig 1 General structure of the Markov model. People enter the model while taking statins or not and can progress from healthy to one of the other health states (shaded boxes), including death, in each cycle. Those who have statin related adverse effects (myopathy and rhabdomyolysis) stop taking statins. MI=myocardial infarction
QALYs were calculated by multiplying the time a person remained in a certain health state by the utility associated with that particular health state and subsequent summing up over all health states ICER=incremental cost effectiveness ratio Euro(cost) / QALY

Top: results of probabilistic sensitivity analysis for base case of 55 year old men (10-year vascular risk of 10%). Each dot represents 1 iteration of the model. Y axis represents incremental costs of statins compared with no therapy. X axis represents incremental QALYs with statins compared with no therapy. Diagonal lines represent a cost per QALY gained of €20000 and of €80000. Below: Y axis represents probability that the cost per QALY gained is less than or equal to values on X axis. ICER=incremental cost effectiveness ratio
Results Over a 10-year period, statin treatment cost €35 000 (£30 000, $49 000) per QALY gained for men aged 55 years with a 10-year vascular risk of 10%. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio improved as risk for vascular disease increased. The cost per QALY ranged from approximately €5000 to €125 000 when the 10-year vascular risk for men aged 55 years was varied from 25% to 5%. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio slightly decreased with age after the level of vascular risk was specified. Results were sensitive to the costs of statin treatment, statin effectiveness, non-adherence, disutility of taking medication daily, and the time horizon of the model.
Conclusions In daily practice, statin treatment seemed not to be cost-effective for primary prevention in populations at low risk of vascular disease, despite low costs of generic drug pills. Adherence to statin treatment needs to be improved to enhance the cost-effectiveness of the use of statins for primary prevention.
