What is being measured

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

  1. Change in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from Baseline to Week 24, Week 52, and to each intermediate visit

    Change in HbA1c from Baseline to Week 24, Week 52, and to each intermediate visit (Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 52)

    Measured: Baseline, and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 52

  2. Change in concentrations of fasting plasma glucose and lipids from Baseline Visit 2 (Day 1) to Week 24, to Week 52, and to each intermediate visit

    Change in concentrations of fasting plasma glucose and lipids from Baseline Visit 2 (Day 1) to Visit 10 (Week 24), to Visit 14 (Week 52) and to each intermediate visit (Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 52)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AC2993 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by AstraZeneca at 3 sites in Hungary.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 20 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Hungary. 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 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?

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 HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from Baseline to Week 24, Week 52, and to each intermediate visit (time frame: Baseline, and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 52). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00044668, which also lists 2 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 20 Feb 2015.
