About this study

Official title: 10-week, Open, National, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Insulin Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients, on Intensified Conventional Therapy (ICT)

Primary objective:

Difference in frequency of subjects with conventionally detected hypoglycemia by the subject [at least one measurement smaller/equal 60mg/dl documented in the 8-point profile in the case record form (CRF) or documentation of symptomatic hypoglycemia in the CRF through Visits 8/9] compared to CGMS detected blood glucose values smaller/equal 60mg/dl during CGMS measurements (at least one measurement through Visits 8/9) after eight weeks of treatment with insulin glargine.

  • Area under the curve (AUC smaller/equal 60)and time(t smaller/equal 60)for blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3mmol/l], area under the curve (AUC greater/equal 180)and time (t greater/equal 180) for blood glucose greater/equal 180mg/dl[10.0mmol/l].
  • Area under the curve (AUC smaller/equal 60)and time(t smaller/equal 60)for blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3mmol/l]during the day (AUC 06.00am - 10.00pm)and during the night(AUC 10.00pm - 06.00am).
  • Area under the curve (AUC greater/equal 180)and time(t greater/equal 180)for blood glucose greater/equal 180mg/dl[10.0mmol/l]during the day (AUC 06.00am - 10.00pm)and during the night(AUC 10.00pm - 06.00am).
  • Frequency of subjects with nocturnal blood glucose value smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with asymptomatic nocturnal blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with symptomatic nocturnal blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl [3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with daytime blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl [3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with asymptomatic daytime blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with symptomatic daytime blood glucose smaller/equal 60mg/dl[3.3 mmol/l].
  • Frequency of subjects with hyperglycemic blood glucose(greater/equal 180mg/dl,[10.0mmol/l]).
  • Frequency of subjects with symptomatic hypoglycemia(smaller/equal 60mg/dl [3.3mmol]).
  • Frequency of subjects with severe hypoglycemia(smaller/equal 36mg/dl [2.0mmol/l]).
  • Blood glucose values of 8-point profiles.
  • Mean daytime \& mean nocturnal blood glucose of 8-point-profiles.
  • HbA1c.

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.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 31 Aug 2010. 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 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?

Frequency of subjects with conventionally detected hypoglycemia. 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 NCT00354939, 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 31 Aug 2010.
