Trial summary

The primary purpose of the protocol is to demonstrate that the new regimen (insulin glargine+regular insulin ) is no worse than the reference regimen (insulin glargine+lys-pro insulin ) in reducing the incidence of severe nocturnal hypoglycemia at the end point; the secondary purpose is to compare the two study… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Italian Experience Trial for the Implementation of the Use of Lantus in Basal - Bolus Regimen in Type I Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

The primary purpose of the protocol is to demonstrate that the new regimen (insulin glargine+regular insulin ) is no worse than the reference regimen (insulin glargine+lys-pro insulin ) in reducing the incidence of severe nocturnal hypoglycemia at the end point; the secondary purpose is to compare the two study regimens as far as the glycemic control (measured by HbA1c), the daily Mean Blood Glucose (MBG) and the mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE index), calculated on the basis of Self Monitoring Blood Glugose (SMBG) data, are concerned and to verify the safety of basal insulinization with Lantus.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. severe nocturnal hypoglycemias will be measured throughout the study period.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. HbA1c will be measured at basal and 8/16 weeks after start of treatment

  2. 8 point glucose profile will be measured during last 2 weeks before each scheduled visit

  3. severe hypoglycemias and nocturnal hypoglycemias will be measured throughout the study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Sanofi.

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 8 inclusion and 26 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 8 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

severe nocturnal hypoglycemias will be measured throughout the study period.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jun 2011.
