What is being measured

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

  1. The principal objective was to determine if the administration of small doses of Acarbose could prevent or delay the appearance of Type 2 DM in a population of subjects with impaired glucose homeostasis.

    Measured: The main criterion for the evaluation of the primary objective was the proportion of diabetic subjects after three years of treatment and another time after three months of wash-out with placebo.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Regression to the normality (NO impaired glucose homeostasis)

    Measured: Proportion of subjects that had regressed to normality after three years of treatment.

  2. Evolution of the cardiovascular risk markers (microalbuminuria, triglycerides, fasting glycaemia, after overload glycaemia, HbA1c, C-peptide, insulinemia)

    Measured: Three years and three months.

  3. Evolution of blood pressure

    Measured: Three years and three months.

  4. Evolution of lipid profile

    Measured: Three years and three months.

  5. Evolution of anthropometric measurements

    Measured: Three years and three months. (BMI)

  6. The appearance or progression of cardiovascular events: angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, revascularisation procedure

    Measured: Time until the appearance or progression of cardiovascular episodes

  7. Delay in the conversion to diabetes mellitus

    Measured: Time until the confirmation of the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Acarbose (Glucobay, BAYG5421) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Bayer at 23 sites in Spain.

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 14 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 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in Spain. 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?

The principal objective was to determine if the administration of small doses of Acarbose could prevent or delay the appearance of Type 2 DM in a population of subjects with impaired glucose homeostasis. (time frame: The main criterion for the evaluation of the primary objective was the proportion of diabetic subjects after three years of treatment and another time after three months of wash-out with placebo.). 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 Dec 2010.
