What participants receive

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

  • injection-meal-intervalProcedure or surgery

    The patient injects human insulin (as Actrapid from NovoNordisc) as usual in their insulin routine. The injection is subcutaneous and the dosage is dependent on the blood glucose monitoring. Patients will inject insulin previous every meal, with the following differences:

    1. Group A: with injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin with an injection-meal-interval of 15 minutes
    2. Group B: without injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin without injection-meal-interval

    Cross-over will occur to the other group after 12 weeks. The follow up is 28 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing injection-meal-interval in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by University of Jena at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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 14 Jan 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 Germany. 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.

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?

HbA1c (time frame: Week 16 and 28). 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 NCT00529165, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Jan 2009.
