BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multi-organ disease characterized by defective insulin action in the liver, adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and a relative impairment of insulin secretion capacity. At diagnosis, subjects with T2DM have only 50% of their beta-cell function remaining and with progressing disease patients become profoundly insulin deficient requiring insulin therapy to restore glycaemic control.
In addition, a blunted secretion and/or action of incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) from the gastro-intestinal tract in response to a meal are also characteristic of T2DM. GLP-1 is an important postprandial hormone secreted from the L-cells in the intestine with a stimulating effect on insulin secretion and an inhibitory role on glucagon secretion from the endocrine pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
To confirm superiority of insulin degludec/liraglutide versus unchanged GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in controlling glycaemia in insulin naive subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in combination with metformin±pioglitazone±sulphonylurea.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
To compare general efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide versus unchanged GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in insulin naive subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in combination with metformin±pioglitazone±sulphonylurea after 26 weeks of treatment.
