Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  GEN1501  Dose: The starting dose will be 10 Units. During the active intervention period, the subject will continue to receive Basal Insulin Glargine doses as started post randomization up to 24-weeks. The Insulin dosages and frequency will be adjusted every 3 days by 2 IU till the Fasting Blood Glucose value is lower than or equal to 120 mg/dl is achieved, up to a maximum dose of 100 Units by the investigator post discussion with the subject as per individual metabolic needs, SMBG results and desired goal of glucose values (per investigator opinion and individualized Insulin regimen of the subject) without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Administration: Subcutaneous Injection to the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttock; Basal Insulin at Bedtime. The subjects will be advised for alternating the sites of drug administration.  
Comparator Agent  Lantus®  Dose: The starting dose will be 10 Units. During the active intervention period, the subject will continue to receive Basal Insulin Glargine doses from visit 2 to visit 16 (for 24 weeks). The Insulin dosages and frequency will be adjusted every 3 days by 2 Units till the Fasting Blood Glucose value is lower than or equal to 120 mg/dl is achieved, up to a maximum dose of 100 Units by the investigator post discussion with the subject as per individual metabolic needs, SMBG results and desired goal of glucose values (per investigator opinion and individualized Insulin regimen of the subject) without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Administration: Subcutaneous Injection to the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttock; Basal Insulin at Bedtime. The subjects will be advised for alternating the sites of drug administration. Time of IP administration to be at bedtime, same time every day.
