What is being measured

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

  1. Beta-cell Function - C-peptide AUC (Area Under the Curve)

    C-peptide AUC during a 3-hours mixed meal challenge testing

    Measured: 72 months

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Insulin Sensitivity as Measure be Matsuda Index

    C-peptide-based Matsuda index using following formula: Matsuda index = 500,00 / root square [(fasting c-peptide x fasting glucose x 333) x (average c-peptide 0-120 mins x average glucose 0-120 mins x 333). Higher the Matsuda index, better the insulin sensitivity.

    Measured: 72 months

  2. Bet-cell Function Measured by Disposition Index

    Disposition index was measured by multiplying the insulin secretion (C-peptide AUC/C-peptide AUC glucose) by the Matsuda index. Disposition index reflects the beta-cell function adjusted for total body insulin sensitivity

    Measured: 72 months

  3. Weight

    Body Weight

    Measured: 72 months

  4. Inflammatory Markers - hsCRP

    Inflammatory markers - hsCRP (C reactive protein)

    Measured: 72 months

  5. Inflammatory Markers -Fibrinogen

    Inflammatory markers - Fibrinogen

    Measured: 72 months

  6. Inflammatory Markers - PAI-1

    Inflammatory markers - PAI-1 (Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1)

    Measured: 72 months

  7. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Current Health Perception

    Current health perception was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1-5, where 1 = much better than 3 months ago; 2 - Somewhat better now than 3 months ago; 3 - About the same; 4 - Somewhat worse now than 3 months ago; 5 Much worse now than 3 months ago.

    Measured: 72 months

  10. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Social or Vocational Worry

    Social or vocational worry was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 0-5, where 0 - does not apply; 1 - never; 2 - seldom; 3 - sometimes; 4 - often; 5 - all of the time.

    Measured: 72 months

  11. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Hypoglycemia Fear

This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1-5, where 1 - never worry; 2 - rarely water; 3 - sometimes worry; 4 - often worry; 5 - very often worry

    Measured: 72 months

  12. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Glycemia Control Perception

    Glycemia control perception was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a scale score of 1-7, where 1 - extremely controlled and 7 - not at all controlled.

    Measured: 72 months

  13. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Lifestyle Flexibility

    Lifestyle flexibility was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1 to 5, where 1 - a great deal of choice; 2 - a lot of choice; 3 - some choice; 4 - a little choice; 5 - no choice.

    Measured: 72 months

  14. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Social Stigma

    Social stigma was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1 to 5, where 1- strongly agree; 2 - somewhat agree; 3 - neither agree nor disagree; 4 - somewhat disagree; 5 - strongly disagree.

    Measured: 72 months

  15. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Satisfaction With Insulin Treatment

    Satisfaction with insulin treatment was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a scale score of 1 to 7, where 1 extremely satisfied to 7 - not at all satisfied.

    Measured: 72 months

  16. Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Willingness to Continue Insulin Treatment

    Willingness to continue insulin treatment was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a scale score of 1 to 7, where 1 extremely willing to 7 - not at all willing.

    Measured: 72 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Metformin, Insulin and Metfomin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 14 Dec 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Beta-cell Function - C-peptide AUC (Area Under the Curve) (time frame: 72 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 NCT00232583, which also lists 3 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 14 Dec 2017.
