About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Effect of Taspoglutide Compared to Placebo, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Diet and Exercise

This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms: taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly, taspoglutide 20mg sc once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly) or placebo. After the first 24 weeks patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Being tested
placebo, taspoglutide
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute change from baseline in HbA1c

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety: Adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, ECG and anti-taspoglutide antibodies.

    Measured: Throughout study

  2. Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose; change from baseline in body weight.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Responder rates for HbA1c (target <=7.0%, <=6.5%); relative change in glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon during a meal tolerance test; beta cell function.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing taspoglutide in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 58 sites in 11 countries.

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 7 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 28 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 58 sites in United States, Russia, Israel, Mexico, Romania and 6 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Absolute change from baseline in HbA1c (time frame: 24 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 28 Jul 2016.
