About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Linagliptin Therapy in the Setting of Internal Medicine Department Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Prospective, open labels, randomized study. A total of 60 admitted patient between 18 and 85 years old with known with history of DM for more than 3 months and an average of two consecutive blood glucose levels above 180 mg/dl (after stopping all previous oral antidiabetic and insulin on admission) will be enrolled Patient will be randomized to a 1:1 ratio in two treatment groups regimens- linagliptin (trajenta) once daily combined with basal insulin at bed time (glargine Lantus; sanofi) and basal bolus insulin with glargine once daily and glulisine (Apidra; sanifi) before meals.

Patient will be discharged according to discharged protocol. Follow-up visits will take place at 3 and 6 months post discharged.

Read the detailed description

patient in the linagliptin plus basal insulin will receive linagliptin at single dose of 5 mg/day, and a starting total daily dose (TDD) of glargine of 0.3 units/kg/day, while patients >70 years of age and/or with a serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL will receive starting TDD of 0.15 units/kg.

Patient in the basal bolus group will start at a TDD of 0.5 units/kg divided half as insulin glargine once daily and half as insulin glulisine before meals. In patients >70 years of age and/or with a serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL, the starting TDD will be reduce to 0.3 units/kg.

The results of BG values will be measured as 2 hour pre meal glucose, bedtime glucose, and mean daily BG after first day at hospital, HbA1c will be measured on the first day of hospitalization.

Patient with pre-meal and bed time blood glucose levels over 180 mg/dl will receive correctional doses of short acting insulin based on glucose levels as follow- 180-250mg/dl 2 units of insulin, 250-300 mg/dl 3 units of insulin, 350-400 4 units of insulin.

Hypoglycemic events shall be documented as well. In case of treatment failure, defined as average blood glucose levels or two consecutive measurements of more than 240 mg/dl, patient's treatment will be changed to basal based regimen.Patient with pre-meal and bed time blood glucose levels over 180 mg/dl will receive correctional doses of short acting insulin based on glucose levels as follow- 180-250mg/dl 2 units of insulin, 250-300 mg/dl 3 units of insulin, 350-400 4 units of insulin.

Hypoglycemic events shall be documented as well. In case of treatment failure, defined as average blood glucose levels or two consecutive measurements of more than 240 mg/dl, patient's treatment will be changed to basal based regimen.

Patient will be discharged according to discharged protocol. Follow-up visits will take place at 3 and 6 months post discharged.

Patients will be instructed to measure and record BG levels (pre meal glucose, bedtime glucose, and mean daily BG) during three days before follow-ups visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Linagliptin and Basal Insulin and Basal Insulin and Bolus Insulin in people with DM2, run by Rabin Medical Center.

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 5 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 11 Sep 2017. 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.

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?

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?

Percentage of patient with mean blood glucose levels (time frame: After firts day from admission and Up to 14 days, 3 and 6 month after discharge.). 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 11 Sep 2017.
