Trial summary

Comparison between insulin pump treatment and multiple daily insulin injections in 38 children with type 1 diabetes4-16 years old.

About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Randomised Trial Comparing Efficacy of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion(CSII) and Multiple Daily Insulin Injections (MDII) in Improving Glycemic Control and Quality of Life in Poorly Regulated Type 1 Diabetic Children.

Comparison between insulin pump treatment and multiple daily insulin injections in 38 children with type 1 diabetes4-16 years old. Outcome metabolic control, quality of life, impact of disease and cost effectiveness.

We hypothesised that insulin pump treatment would give a better metabolic control and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

The current standard of insulin treatment in type 1 diabetes is multiple daily insulin injection therapy (MDII). In the seventies, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) was introduced. CSII has been gaining popularity, perhaps because of technical advances resulting in improved patient comfort. In children five randomised studies(1-5) were completed to compare MDII and CSII. No data were gained about quality of life and impact of disease.

In our trial we focussed on quality of life next to metabolic control.

The trial was an open-labelled,randomised trial. Both efficacy and safety data were collected. The trial started with a 14 weeks run in phase, during all patients started MDII.In the following randomisation phase patients were randomised to continue MDII or to CSII.This phase lasted 14 weeks.In the phase thereafter all patients used CSII for 14 weeks. The trial was concluded by a 14 weeks allocated patient preference phase.

Patients were type 1 diabetic children 4-16 years old with poor metabolic control.hypothesis: better metabolic control in CSII, better quality of life in CSII.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin pump (CSII) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Child, run by Erasmus Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 19 Apr 2007. 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 Netherlands. 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?

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?

metabolic control. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00462371, which also lists 5 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 19 Apr 2007.
