About this study

Official title: A 16 Week Open-Label Outpatient, Randomized, Parallel Study Assessing The Impact Of Two Different Initial Dose Prescriptions For Dry Powder Inhaled Insulin (Exubera®) On Glycemic Control In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Are Poorly Controlled On A Combination Of Two Or More Oral Agents.

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a simple initial dose prescription of inhaled insulin (Exubera) achieves glycemic control (HbA1c) after 16 weeks that is non-inferior compared to the standard weight-based formula.

Being tested
Inhaled Human Insulin (Exubera)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Inhaled Human Insulin (Exubera)Drug

    Initial dose (mg) as per weight based formula = 0.05 x body weight (kg) TID

  • Inhaled Human Insulin (Exubera)Drug

    Initial dose of 1mg TID of inhaled human insulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in HbA1c From Baseline

    Mean change of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c %) from baseline to week 16

    Measured: From baseline to week 16

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Fasting Plasma Glucose, and Overall Absolute, Pre-meal, and Post-meal Blood Glucose Change From Baseline to Week 16 (LOCF)

    Mean change of fasting plasma glucose, and overall absolute (based on the mean of 7-point home blood glucose monitoring (HGM) values), pre- and post-meal blood glucose (based on the mean of pre- or post-meal HGM values). Change from pre- to post-meal blood glucose based on the mean of difference of pre-meal HGM values from post-meal HGM values.

    Measured: From baseline to week 16

  2. Number of Subjects Who Experienced Hypoglycemia and Nocturnal Hypoglycemia

    Cumulative Number Subjects Who Experienced Hypoglycemia \& Nocturnal Hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia:1)Clinical picture includes prompt resolution with food intake, subcutaneous glucagon, or intravenous glucose, 2)blood glucose check showing glucose <3.27 mmol/L (59 mg/dl), 3)glucose measurement of 2.7 mmol/L (49 mg/dl) or less, with or without symptoms.

    Measured: week 16

  3. Hypoglycemia Event Rate Per Month

    Monthly event rate was calculated as the daily event rate multiplied by 30, and the daily event rate was calculated as the total number of events divided by the days in study up to the specified timepoint (ie, Week 4 or Week 16).

    Measured: up to week 4 or 16

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study startJun 2007
  3. Primary completionDec 2007

Why it stopped: This protocol was terminated not for safety reasons, but because Pfizer decided to return the worldwide rights for Exubera to Nektar, on 18 October 2007.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Inhaled Human Insulin (Exubera) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Pfizer at 9 sites in 4 countries.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Pakistan. 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 6 Mar 2009). 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 HbA1c From Baseline (time frame: From baseline to week 16). 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 11 May 2009.
