About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Multicentre, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, 24-Week Phase IV Study Comparing the Effectiveness and Safety of Two Approaches to the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Australian Primary Care: General Practitioner Initiation of Insulin Glargine Versus the Usual Standard of Care

The primary objective is to demonstrate the improvement in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels after general practitioner (GP) initiation and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with insulin glargine compared with their usual clinical practice.

The secondary objective is to demonstrate the importance of GP initiation of insulin glargine for the treatment of T2DM.

Being tested
INSULIN GLARGINE (HOE901), Oral Anti Diabetics (OAD)
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • INSULIN GLARGINE (HOE901)Drug

    The dose of insulin glargine will be titrated toward a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) target of 5.5 mmol/L. Treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) prescribed before study entry may continue (except Sitagliptin, Acarbose, Rosiglitazone)

  • Oral Anti Diabetics (OAD)Drug

    Patients treated with the usual standard of care (OAD dose titration, addition of a second or third OAD or referral to an endocrinologist) until optimal doses are reached to maintain a FPG of 5.5 mmol/L

General Practitioner initiation with insulin glargineExperimentalPatients will be prescribed insulin glargine by their Investigator and they will be taught how to administer insulin glargine according to Australian guidelines. Patients will be treated for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of patients achieving glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels < or = 7.0%

    Measured: From week 0 to week 24

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time required to reach the target HbA1c level of < or = 7%

    Measured: From week 0 to week 24

  2. The percentage of patients achieving two consecutive on treatment HbA1c measurements of < or = 7.0%

    Measured: From week 0 to week 24

  3. Decrease in mean HbA1c level

    Measured: At week 24

  4. Decrease in mean Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

    Measured: At week 24

  5. Mean change in body weight

    Measured: At week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing INSULIN GLARGINE (HOE901) and Oral Anti Diabetics (OAD) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Australia.

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 6 inclusion and 22 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 10 Nov 2011. 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 Australia. 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: due to poor recruitment). 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?

The percentage of patients achieving glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels < or = 7.0% (time frame: From week 0 to week 24). 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 10 Nov 2011.
