About this study

Official title: Safety And Efficacy Of Exubera® (Inhaled Insulin) Compared With Subcutaneous Human Insulin Therapy In Children And Adolescents Ages 6-17 Years With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A 12 Month, Outpatient, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Group Comparative Trial.

To assess the safety and efficacy of Exubera on pulmonary function and glycemic control in subjects ages 6-17 over a 1 year period.

Read the detailed description

Pfizer announced in October 2007 that it would stop marketing Exubera. At that time recruitment for the pediatric study, A2171083, was placed on hold. Two subjects completed the informed consent/assent process and entered the A2171083 study but none received treatment. The first subject withdrew consent during the Baseline Run-in period which was prior to Randomization. The second subject screen failed at Visit 1. After this time, Nektar, the company from which Pfizer licensed Exubera, announced on April 9, 2008 that it had stopped its search for a new marketing partner. Accordingly, there will be no commercial availability of Exubera. As a result, study A2171083 was terminated and no further recruitment took place.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Inhaled insulin (Exubera) and Subcutaneous Insulin (subject's prescribed) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Pfizer 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 3 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 1 Oct 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Nov 2008). 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?

To Assess Pulmonary Safety and Glycemic Control of Exubera Over a 12 Month Controlled Period (time frame: 12 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 1 Oct 2018.
