Abstract
Objective: The AT-LANTUS Study demonstrated that a simple subject-administered titration algorithm significantly improved glycemic control with a low incidence of severe hypoglycemia compared with a physician-managed titration. However, in the AT-LANTUS Study Asian Patients were under-represented, and more than 70% of the Patients were already treated with insulin. The Asian Treat to Target Lantus Study (ATLAS) will compare the effectiveness of a Patient-versus physician-led initiation of insulin glargine-based basal management in the specific setting of Asia and Russia (as is routinely used in Western countries). This report presents the Study Design of ATLAS. Methods: Subjects are 40-75 years old (body mass index >= 20 and >= 40 kg/m(2)) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) of >2 years in duration, suboptimally controlled (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] >= 7.0% and
