About this study

Official title: Pilot Study for the Evaluation of the Effects of Insulin Treatment on Myocardial Function, Perfusion, and Glucose Metabolism in Patients With Primary Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Type 2 Diabetes.

The primary objective of the present study is to assess changes of myocardial glucose uptake (MGU) during clamp studies using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in patients with type 2 diabetes and idiopathic left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).

The secondary objectives of the study are: assessment of changes of myocardial microcirculation at rest and during adenosine stimulation using PET; assessment of changes in myocardial structure and function evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); assessment of glycaemic control by measurement of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and insulin levels; assessment of safety (adverse event profile, laboratory data).

Being tested
Insulin glargine
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

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. effect of insulin treatment on myocardial function, perfusion and glucose metabolism.

    Measured: assessed before and after treatment

  2. adverse events

    Measured: throughout the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. changes of myocardial structure and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function

    Measured: at baseline and at the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 7 Dec 2009. 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 Italy. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

effect of insulin treatment on myocardial function, perfusion and glucose metabolism. (time frame: assessed before and after treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00335465, 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 7 Dec 2009.
