The purpose of this study is to compare the change in weight from baseline to study week 52 in the per-protocol population of pre-meal insulin glulisine (Apidra) versus post-meal Apidra, in patients receiving insulin glargine (Lantus) as basal insulin.

Being tested
insulin glulisine, insulin glargine
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin glulisineDrug

    PREMEAL ARM: Subjects randomized to this arm will receive Apidra administered three times per day 0-15 min before the three main meals; metformin (if applicable); and Lantus qd for 52 weeks.

  • insulin glargineDrug

    POSTMEAL ARM: Subjects randomized to this arm will receive Apidra administered three times per day immediately after a meal (20 min after the start of a meal); metformin (if applicable); and Lantus qd for 52 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing insulin glulisine and insulin glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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 11 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Compare change in weight from baseline to study week 52 in the per-protocol population of premeal Apidra vs postmeal Apidra, in patients receiving Lantus as basal insulin (time frame: 52 weeks). 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 NCT00135096, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2011.
