About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Twice-Daily Insulin Lispro Low Mixture Compared to a Once-Daily Long Acting Insulin Comparator in Patients New to Insulin Therapy Who Were Inadequately Controlled on Oral Agents

The purposes of this study are to determine: 1. If patients taking insulin lispro LM with metformin will have better overall control of their blood sugar than patients taking a long acting insulin comparator with metformin. 2. If there is a difference in the way the two treatments affect blood sugar control before and after meals and at night. 3. If there is a difference in the insulin dose required with the two treatments. 4. If there is a difference in the numbers of times patients experience low blood sugar with the two treatments. 5. If there is a difference in the effect on patients's body weight.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the present study is to compare two treatments - LM twice daily plus metformin two or three times daily versus a long acting insulin comparator once daily plus metformin two or three times daily - in patients with type 2 diabetes who are currently using a regimen of one or more oral antihyperglycemic agents.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that, in patients with type 2 diabetes who are new to insulin, hemoglobin A1c at endpoint will be lower after treatment with insulin lispro LM twice daily plus metformin than after treatment with a long acting insulin comparator once daily plus metformin.

This will be a multicenter, randomized, open-label, crossover study comparing twice-daily insulin lispro LM plus two- or three-times-daily metformin to a once-daily long acting insulin comparator plus two- or three-times-daily metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes who were receiving one or more oral antihyperglycemic agents without insulin prior to the study.

Following an 8 (+-2) week lead-in period consisting of treatment with NPH once daily at bedtime plus metformin two or three times daily, approximately 100 eligible patients will be randomized to one of two sequence groups, so that there are approximately 50 patients in each group. One group will receive 4 months of insulin lispro LM administered immediately before the morning and evening meals plus metformin two or three times daily followed by 4 months of a once-daily long acting insulin comparator at bedtime plus metformin two or three times daily. The other group will receive the reverse sequence.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Lispro low mixture in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 13 sites in United States.

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 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 13 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States. 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.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00036504, which also lists 5 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 13 Oct 2010.
