About this study

Official title: A Canadian Multi-centre, Retrospective, Non-interventional Study of the Effectiveness of Tresiba® (Insulin Degludec) After Switching Basal Insulin in a Population With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus CAN-TREAT (CANadian TREsiba AudiT)

  14. Percentage of patients continuing insulin degludec

    percentage of patients

    Measured: After change to insulin degludec (0 to 6 months)

  15. Reason(s) for starting insulin degludec

    Reasons for starting insulin degludec (if available) will be classified as: Not at glycaemic target, Hypoglycaemia (severe / non-severe / nocturnal), Hypoglycaemia unawareness, Multiple risk factors for hypoglycaemia (elderly, intensive exercise, Chronic Kidney Disease, other), Basal insulin dose more than 80 units/day, Twice daily basal insulin dosing, Fasting blood glucose variability, Need for flexible time of dosing, Device issue, other

    Measured: At time of switch to insulin degludec (week 0)

  16. Reason(s) for discontinuing insulin degludec

    Reasons for discontinuing insulin degludec (if applicable and available) will be classified as: Injection site reaction, Insufficient efficacy, Hypoglycaemia (severe / non-severe / nocturnal), Weight gain, Cost, Device issue, Other

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 32 sites in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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 6 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in Canada. 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?

Change in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline (up to 3 months prior to switch), 6 months after switch to insulin degludec). 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 NCT03674866, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2019.
