About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Crossover Study Comparing the Effect of Insulin Glulisine to Insulin Aspart on Breakfast Post Prandial Blood Glucose Levels in Prepubertal Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus on Multiple Daily Insulin Injection Therapy

To determine whether insulin glulisine decreases the breakfast post prandial glycemic excursion in comparison to insulin aspart.

Read the detailed description

This is a treatment, open label, crossover study comparing two and four hour breakfast post prandial blood glucose levels after receiving a dose of insulin glulisine or insulin aspart administered subcutaneously and consuming the breakfast meal from a prescribed menu containing 45, 60 or 75 grams of carbohydrate. Each subject will receive insulin glulisine for ten days and insulin aspart for ten days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in the Two Hour and Four Hour Post Prandial Blood Glucose Levels Following Administration of Insulin Glulisine Versus Insulin Aspart at the End of the Twenty Study Days

    Compare average blood glucose at 2 and 4 hours post prandial minus blood glucose at baseline (prior to eating)

    Measured: measured daily at baseline, 2 and 4 hours post prandial for 20 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Occurrence of Hypoglycemia;

    Measured: measured daily at 2 and 4 hours postprandial for 20 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing insulin glulisine and insulin aspart in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Corewell Health West at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 18 Sep 2023. 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Difference in the Two Hour and Four Hour Post Prandial Blood Glucose Levels Following Administration of Insulin Glulisine Versus Insulin Aspart at the End of the Twenty Study Days (time frame: measured daily at baseline, 2 and 4 hours post prandial for 20 days). 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 18 Sep 2023.
