Trial summary

This trial will compare the metabolic control in type 1 diabetes obtained by continuous infusion of insulin lispro with that obtained by multiple daily injections of insulin lispro and glargine, a long-acting insulin analogue. Patients will be switched to the alternative treatment after 4 months. Read more about this study

About this study

This trial will compare the metabolic control in type 1 diabetes obtained by continuous infusion of insulin lispro with that obtained by multiple daily injections of insulin lispro and glargine, a long-acting insulin analogue. Patients will be switched to the alternative treatment after 4 months. Glucose variability in the last month of each treatment will be analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insulin pumps in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 4 sites in Italy.

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 3 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 3 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Italy. 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?

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?

Variability of blood glucose characterised by the standard deviation of the mean blood glucose (time frame: Length of study). 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 3 Mar 2016.
