Trial summary

Hypothesis: Basal insulin analogs with continuous 24-hour delivery of insulin improve glycemic control during the first year of treatment of children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)by preserving endogenous insulin production and a close to normal balance of the GH-IGF-axis.

About this study

Official title: Effects of New Longacting Insulin Analogs on Metabolic Control, Endogenous Insulin Production, GH/IGF-I Axis and Quality of Life - Comparison of NPH, Glargine Och Detemir Insulin From the Debut of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Adolescents

Hypothesis: Basal insulin analogs with continuous 24-hour delivery of insulin improve glycemic control during the first year of treatment of children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)by preserving endogenous insulin production and a close to normal balance of the GH-IGF-axis.

This a randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial of 120 children, 7 - 17 years of age, newly diagnosed with T1DM. The investigators will investigate whether the use of long-acting basal insulin analogs Lantus (Glargine) or Levemir (Detemir) during the first year of treatment results in improved glycemic control (HbA1c) compared with Insulatard (NPH insulin) when given in a meal insulin therapy regimen with rapid acting Novorapid (insulin aspart). The investigators will explore possible mechanisms of action by determining remaining endogenous insulin production and changes in the GH-IGF-axis. The investigators will also assess changes in body composition and evaluate quality of life in each treatment arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. HbA1c

    The study compare HbA1c one year after start of treatment at diagnosis of T1DM in patients treated with Lantus or Levemir with patients treated with Insulatard.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Stimulated C-peptide

    Sustacal stimulated C-peptide after an overnight fast

    Measured: 2 weeks and 3, 6 and 12 month

  2. IGF-I

    Serum IGF-I concentrations

    Measured: diagnosis, 2 weeks, 3,6,9 and 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing NPH insulin, Glargine and Detemir in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 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 Sweden. 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?

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?

HbA1c (time frame: 1 year). 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 6 Jan 2011.
