Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Parallel, Interventional, Open Label Trial to Compare Hemoglobin A1C-lowering Effect of Conventional Treatment and Smart Care Service in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

A multi-center, randomized, parallel, interventional, open label trial to compare Hemoglobin A1C-lowering effect of conventional treatment and Smart Care Service in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description
  1. Objectives : To evaluate superiority in the Hemoglobin A1C -lowering effect of Smart Care Service compared to the conventional treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.
  2. Test and control group
  • Control group : The subject group who is receiving any conventional treatment (hospital visit).

  • Remote visit + remote monitoring group: The subject group who is receiving remote visit and remote monitoring using videotelephony
  1. Target Subject: Type II diabetes patients
Conditions

What participants receive

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

  • Telemonitoring groupProcedure or surgery

    Also called Smartcare System : Telemonitoring

    The Telemonitoring group will be provided blood glucose meter, body composition analyzer, and remote monitoring PC. They should visit the site once per every 2 months (8 weeks), and measure their blood glucose using a provided blood glucose monitor twice a day during study period (once after first morning urination and once before going to bed). After measurement of blood glucose and body composition, the subjects should make transmit measured information through Smart Care PC into a centralized server of Smart Care Center. At Smart care Center, care manager will provide remote blood glucose monitoring and individual diabetes case management

  • Telemonitoring & TelemedicineProcedure or surgery

    Also called Smartcare System : Telemonitoring & Telemedicine

    The Telemonitoring \& Telemedicine group will be provided blood glucose meter, body composition analyzer, and remote monitoring PC. They should measure their blood glucose using a provided blood glucose monitor twice a day during the study period. After measurement of blood glucose and body composition, the subjects should make transmit measured information through Smart Care PC into a centralized server of Smart Care Center. At Smart care Center, care manager will provide remote blood glucose monitoring and individual diabetes case management. A remote medical doctor should provide medical consultation to the subjects through videotelephony using the remote monitoring PC and then issue electronic prescriptions.

  • SMBGOther

    Also called Self blood glucose measurement

    The subjects who are assigned in the control group will be provided blood glucose Monitor. The subjects who are assigned in the control group should perform the same blood glucose measurement same as the test group during the study, and measured results should be recorded in a diary of self blood glucose measurement. In addition, the subjects should visit the site once per every two months (8 weeks).

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Hemoglobin A1c

    Changes in Hemoglobin A1c from baseline to 24 weeks visit.

    Reduce Hemoglobin A1c after study

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Changes in FBS (Fasting blood sugar)

    Changes in FBS (Fasting blood sugar) from baseline to 24 weeks visit

    Maintains FBS within the normal range

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

  2. Changes in lipid profile

    Changes in lipid profile from baseline to 24 weeks visit

    Maintains normal lipid profile

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

  3. Percentage of subjects who achieved goal Hemoglobin A1c

    Goal Hemoglobin A1c <7%

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

  4. Changes in body mass index (BMI)

    Reduction of body mass index

    • BMI=Body weight (kg)/Height2(m)

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

  5. SMBG(Self-monitoring of blood glucose) compliance

    measurement of Self-monitoring of blood glucose

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

  6. Changes in body weight

    Reduce body weight from baseline to 24 weeks visit

    Measured: 0 and 24 weeks

  7. Assessment of patients' satisfaction

    Assessment of subjects' satisfaction, Only remote monitoring group and remote visit + remote monitoring group are applicable

    Measured: 24 weeks

  8. Medication compliance

    • Patients diary will be recorded and medication compliance will be calculated by calculating the number of days administered Insulin or Oral Hypoglycemic Agents during the study
    • Drugs compliance = the number of days administered antihypertensive drugs / participated period in this study * 100%

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Telemonitoring group, Telemonitoring & Telemedicine and SMBG in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by CHANGHEE LEE at 4 sites in South Korea.

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 13 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 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. 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.

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?

Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (time frame: 0 and 24 weeks). 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 5 Feb 2020.
