Trial summary

The study hypothesis is that people who respond well to sulphonylureas have a different underlying cause for their diabetes than people who respond poorly to this medication. We are using two approaches to study this. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Use of Glycaemic Response to Sulphonylureas as a Tool to Investigate Type 2 Diabetes Pathophysiology

The study hypothesis is that people who respond well to sulphonylureas have a different underlying cause for their diabetes than people who respond poorly to this medication. We are using two approaches to study this. In one approach we look at people who have previously responded well or poorly, confirm this by rechallenging them with a sulphonylurea drug, and then looking at how well they produce insulin in response to glucose and an intravenous sulphonylurea called tolbutamide. The second approach identifies people with a certain genetic predisposition to diabetes (due to changes in the TCF7L2 gene) and then looks at how well they respond to sulphonylurea medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing gliclazide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by NHS Tayside at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 14 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 May 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Following Regulator inspection in 2009, study terminated as inadequate approvals were in place). Results are not available in the source record.

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 reduction (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 3 May 2018.
