Trial summary

This study will examine how to dose Exubera (inhaled insulin) in patients who are not well controlled on two or more diabetes pills. This study should show that a large number of patients enrolled in the study can reach the target Hemoglobin A1C levels (7% or less) that have been set by the American Diabetes… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Study Assessing the Effects of Forced Exubera Dose Titration on Glycemic Control in Patients With Suboptimally Controlled Type 2 Diabetes on Two or More Oral Antidiabetic Agents

This study will examine how to dose Exubera (inhaled insulin) in patients who are not well controlled on two or more diabetes pills. This study should show that a large number of patients enrolled in the study can reach the target Hemoglobin A1C levels (7% or less) that have been set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Target goals should be achieved by adjusting the Exubera dose either weekly or twice weekly. Patients will also receive nutritional counseling and diabetes education as part of the study.

Being tested
Exubera (inhaled insulin), 8-point glucose diary (to assess pre- and post prandial glucoses), Meal Tolerance Test, 24-hour continuous glucose monitoring (at select sites), Pulmonary Function Testing
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes (A1C 7.5-10% on >= 2 oral agents) in each study arm (Exubera dosage adjusted 'once weekly' or 'twice weekly') that attain an A1C of <=7% with forced dose titration of Exubera at 6 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary endpoints include change in A1C, fasting and 2 hr PP glucose, 24-hr mean glucose measured by continuous glucose monitoring, weight, lipids, and markers of oxidative stress. Hypoglycemia will also be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Exubera (inhaled insulin), 8-point glucose diary (to assess pre- and post prandial glucoses) and Meal Tolerance Test in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Pfizer at 16 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 2 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 8 Feb 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 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 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?

Proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes (A1C 7.5-10% on >= 2 oral agents) in each study arm (Exubera dosage adjusted 'once weekly' or 'twice weekly') that attain an A1C of <=7% with forced dose titration of Exubera at 6 months.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Feb 2008.
