About this study

Official title: The Impact of Liraglutide on Glucose Tolerance and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Women With Previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

It is well-known that women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus are in risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life; approximately half of the women develop overt type 2 diabetes within the first 10 years after pregnancy. Knowing this, we want to examine the effect of the type 2 diabetes medicine, liraglutide (Victoza), in women with previous gestational diabetes with the aim of reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in glucose tolerance

    Changes in glucose is measured by area under the curve for the plasma glucose excursion following a 4-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

    Measured: from baseline to 52 wks, 53 wks, 260 wks, and 261 wks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Deterioration in glycaemic status

    Percentage of subjects in each treatment arm with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at inclusion who develop impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes; or with IFG or IGT who develop combined IFG/IGT; or with combined IFG/IGT who develop type 2 diabetes

    Measured: from baseline to 52 wks, 53, wks, 260 wks, and 261 wks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Liraglutide in people with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, run by Tina Vilsboll at 1 site in Denmark.

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 18 inclusion and 36 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 4 Nov 2020. 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 Denmark. 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 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 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?

Change in glucose tolerance (time frame: from baseline to 52 wks, 53 wks, 260 wks, and 261 wks). 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 NCT01795248, which also lists 19 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 4 Nov 2020.
