What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52 [Noninferiority Analysis]
- HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. It is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
- Least Squares (LS) mean was determined using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with Baseline + Country + GLP-1 RA Use at Randomization Flag + SU Use at Randomization Flag + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables. Missing data at Week 52 were imputed by return-to-baseline multiple imputations approach.

Change From Baseline in Treatment-Related Impact Measures for Diabetes (TRIM-D) -Total Score at Week 26 and Week 52
- The TRIM-D is a participant-reported measure designed to assess the impact of diabetes treatment on individuals' functioning and well-being across different diabetes treatments. The questionnaire includes 28 items grouped into 5 sub-domains: treatment burden, daily life, diabetes management, compliance, and psychological health. Each item is assessed on a 5-point scale, with higher scores indicating better health status. All items were summed to obtain a total raw score, which was transformed to a scale of 0 to 100 to obtain a total score. The total score range is 0-100, with a higher total score indicating better overall health and well-being, while a lower total score indicates worse health or well-being.
- LS mean was determined using MMRM model with Baseline + Country + HbA1c Stratum at Baseline + GLP-1 RA Use at Randomization Flag + SU Use at Randomization Flag + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares) as variables.
Measured: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2) Acute Form (Physical-Component and Mental-Component) Scores at Week 26 and Week 52
The SF-36v2 is a participant-reported measure designed to assess health status using 36 items across 8 domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. Each domain is scored individually, and information from these 8 domains is further aggregated into 2 health component summary scores, the Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Summary. Scoring of each domain and both summary scores are norm based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health. Range cannot be specified in norm-based scores.
Measured: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52
Change From Baseline in EuroQuality of Life (EuroQol) - 5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Health State Index and EQ Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores at Week 26 and Week 52
The EQ-5D-5L is a multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. It includes 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) that are assessed at 5 levels of response (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and unable to perform or extreme problems). The scores in the 5 dimensions were summarized into a health state index score. A single health-state index value was derived, which ranges from less than 0 (health state equivalent to death, negative values are valued as worse than death) to 1 (perfect health). The EQ VAS rates the participants' perceived health from 0 (the worst imaginable health) to 100 (the best imaginable health). This score provides a composite picture of the respondent's health status.
Measured: Baseline, Week 26, Week 52

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect and safety of insulin efsitora alfa (LY3209590) compared to degludec in adult participants with type 2 diabetes who are starting basal insulin for the first time. The study consists of a 1-week screening period, a 2-week lead-in period, a 52-week treatment period, and a 5-week safety follow-up period. The study will last up to 60 weeks.

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52 [Noninferiority Analysis]
Time frame: Baseline, Week 52
* HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. It is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. * Least Squares (LS) mean was determined using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with Baseline + Country + GLP-1 RA Use at Randomization Flag + SU Use at Randomization Flag + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables. Missing data at Week 52 were imputed by return-to-baseline multiple imputations approach.

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin Efsitora Alfa and Insulin Degludec in people with Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 113 sites in 11 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 113 sites in United States, China, Japan, Germany, Brazil and 6 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 May 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52 [Noninferiority Analysis] (time frame: Baseline, Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05362058, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2025.
