About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Effect of Taspoglutide on Glycemic Control, and Its Safety and Tolerability, in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Metformin Monotherapy.

This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg sc once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or placebo sc, in addition to their prescribed, pre-existing metformin therapy.After the first 24 weeks, patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks on taspoglutide 10mg once weekly) The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

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. Change from baseline in body weight;% of patients achieving >=5% weight loss

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. % of patients achieving target HbA1c <=6.5%, <=7.0%; change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose; change from baseline in lipid profile; relative change in glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon during a meal tolerance test; beta cell function

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Safety:Adverse events,clinical laboratory tests, vital signs,physical examination, ECG, anti-taspoglutide antibodies\n

    Measured: At planned clinic visits, for 12 months

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 71 sites in 10 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 71 sites in United States, Germany, Russia, Canada, United Kingdom and 5 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.
