What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) From Baseline to Week 12

    Measured: 12 weeks from Baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline to Individual Time Points in HbA1c, Insulin Doses, and Total Insulin Dosage

    Measured: 60 weeks from Baseline

  2. Percentage of Subjects Achieving an HbA1C Less Than (<) 7.0% and Less Than (<) 6.5%

    Measured: 60 weeks from Baseline

  3. Change From Baseline to Study Time Points in 7-point Blood Glucose (BG) Profile (Before Meals, 2 Hours After Meals, at Bedtime)

    Measured: 60 weeks from Baseline

  4. Change From Baseline to End of Study and to Individual Time Points in Components of Lipid Profile (Total Cholesterol, High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol [HDL], Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol [LDL], Triglycerides, LDL Subfractions)

    Measured: 60 weeks from Baseline

  5. Occurrences of Hypoglycemia, Symptomatic Hypoglycemia, Severe Hypoglycemia, and Serious Hypoglycemia

    • Symptomatic hypoglycemia (BG<70 mg/dL, BG<50 mg/dL): including 1 or more symptoms: headache, dizziness, general feeling of weakness, drowsiness, confusion, pallor, irritability, trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat \& a cold, clammy feeling.
    • Mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia: SMBG ≥ 36 mg/dL but <70 mg/dL
    • Severe hypoglycemia: assistance of another party is required \& either:
    • SMBG of <36 mg/dL, or
    • with prompt response to treatment with oral carbohydrates, IV glucose or glucagon.
    • Serious hypoglycemia:
    • Hypoglycemia with coma/loss of consciousness Or Hypoglycemia seizure/convulsion.

    Measured: 60 weeks from Baseline

  6. Rate of Hypoglycemia, Symptomatic Hypoglycemia, Severe Hypoglycemia and Serious Hypoglycemia

    • Symptomatic hypoglycemia (BG<70 mg/dL, BG<50 mg/dL): including 1 or more symptoms: headache, dizziness, general feeling of weakness, drowsiness, confusion, pallor, irritability, trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat \& a cold, clammy feeling.
    • Mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia: SMBG ≥ 36 mg/dL but <70 mg/dL
    • Severe hypoglycemia: assistance of another party is required \& either:
    • SMBG of <36 mg/dL, or
    • with prompt response to treatment with oral carbohydrates, IV glucose or glucagon.
    • Serious hypoglycemia:
    • Hypoglycemia with coma/loss of consciousness Or Hypoglycemia seizure/convulsion.

    Measured: 60 Weeks from Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Glargine and Insulin Glulisine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, 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 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2011. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2010). 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?

Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) From Baseline to Week 12 (time frame: 12 weeks from Baseline). 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 13 Jan 2011.
