About this study

Official title: Insulin Glargine Plus Insulin Glulisine MDI Versus Premix Insulin Treatment in Subjects With Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2) Evaluating Differences in Patient Reported Outcomes

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin glargineDrug

    Sequence 1 (Lantus + Apidra first, then Premix): Subjects randomized to this sequence will receive ApidraTM administered three times per day 0-15 minutes before main meals using a fixed bolus regimen following titration based on preprandial blood glucose values; as well as Lantus qd for 12 weeks. After the first 12 weeks, subjects will cross over to the premix insulin for a further treatment of 12 weeks.

  • insulin glulisineDrug

    Sequence 2 (Premix first, then Lantus + Apidra): Subjects randomized to this sequence will receive premix insulin (either Humalog Mix 75/25 or Novolog Mix 70/30, depending on which insulin they were taking at entry into the study) once or twice per day for 12 weeks. After the first 12 weeks, subjects will cross over to the Lantus plus Apidra sequence for a further treatment of 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare improvements from baseline in patient reported outcomes (quality of life, treatment satisfaction) when aggressively treated with insulin glargine plus rapid acting insulin glulisine vs treatment with Premix insulin

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change in A1c (baseline to week 24), reported hypo events (throughout the trials), correlation between patient reported outcomes and glucose variability as measured by CGMS (baseline, week 8 and week 20).

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing insulin glargine and insulin glulisine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sanofi at 1 site 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 10 inclusion and 14 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 4 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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?

To compare improvements from baseline in patient reported outcomes (quality of life, treatment satisfaction) when aggressively treated with insulin glargine plus rapid acting insulin glulisine vs treatment with Premix insulin (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT00135941, 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 4 Jun 2009.
