About this study

Official title: NN5401-3594: A 26-week, Open-labelled, Two-arm, Parallel, Randomised Trial Comparing Efficacy and Safety of NN5401 Once Daily Plus Insulin Aspart vs. Basal-bolus Treatment With Insulin Detemir Plus Insulin Aspart in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes / NN5401-3645: An Extension Trial Comparing Safety and Efficacy of NN5401 Plus Meal-time Insulin Aspart for the Remaining Meals With Insulin Detemir Plus Meal-time Insulin Aspart in Type 1 Diabetes (BOOST™: T1)

This trial is conducted in Europe, Oceania, and the United States of America (USA).

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp)) with insulin detemir (IDet) plus insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes (main period) followed by the extension period comparing the long-term safety of NN5401 plus insulin aspart with insulin detemir plus insulin aspart.

The main period is registered internally at Novo Nordisk as NN5401-3594 while the extension period is registered as NN5401-3645.

Being tested
insulin degludec/insulin aspart, insulin detemir, insulin aspart
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Main Trial (Primary Endpoint): Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 26 Weeks of Treatment

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment

    Measured: Week 0, Week 26

  2. Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol /L.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 53 + 7 days follow up

  3. Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 53 + 7 days follow up

  4. Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Corresponds to rate of AEs per 100 patient years of exposure. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 53 + 7 days of follow up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

  2. Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG) at Week 26

    Overall mean of 9-point SMPG at 26 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.

    Measured: Week 26

  3. Extension Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 52 Weeks of Treatment

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 52 weeks of treatment

    Measured: Week 0, Week 53

  4. Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

  5. Extension Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) After 52 Weeks of Treatment

    Change from baseline in FPG after 52 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 53

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing insulin degludec/insulin aspart, insulin detemir and insulin aspart in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 81 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 7 inclusion and 9 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 20 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 81 sites in United States, Russia, Romania, United Kingdom, Australia 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2015). 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?

Main Trial (Primary Endpoint): Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 26 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: Week 0, Week 26). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00978627, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Mar 2017.
