About this study

Official title: Actos Tablets Special Drug Use Surveillance "Combined Use of Biguanides / Long-term Treatment"

To investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with pioglitazone (Actos tablets) in combination with biguanides (for 12 months after the start of pioglitazone tablets treatment) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

This is a special drug use surveillance with an observation period of 12 months designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of pioglitazone (Actos) in the routine clinical setting in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who responded inadequately to treatment with biguanides in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy (planned sample size, 1000).

The usual adult dosage is 15 to 30 mg of pioglitazone administered orally once daily before or after breakfast. Dose adjustment will be made according to gender, age, and symptoms with an upper limit of 45 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting One or More Adverse Drug Reactions

    Adverse drug reactions are defined as adverse events (AEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. AEs are defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline up to 12 months

  2. Number of Participants Reporting One or More Serious Adverse Drug Reactions

    Serious adverse drug reactions are defined as serious adverse events (SAEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: Baseline up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12) relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment (up to Month 12)

  2. Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose

    The change between the fasting blood glucose value collected at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12) relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment (up to Month 12)

  3. Change From Baseline in Body Weight

    Change relative to baseline in participant's weight measured at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12).

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment (up to Month 12)

  4. Change From Baseline in Immunoreactive Insulin (IRI)

    The change in the value of IRI (portion of insulin in blood measured by immunochemical methods for the hormone; presumed to represent the free [unbound] and biologically active fraction of total blood insulin) collected at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12) relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment (up to Month 12)

  5. Change From Baseline Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)

    The change between homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance collected at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or final visit (last visit for a participant in the study, up to Month 12) relative to baseline. Homeostasis Model assessment of insulin resistance Measures insulin resistance, calculated by insulin times glucose, divided by a constant (22.5). A higher score indicates higher insulin resistance.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment (up to Month 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Takeda.

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 5 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 10 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Nov 2016). 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?

Number of Participants Reporting One or More Adverse Drug Reactions (time frame: Baseline up to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Nov 2016.
