About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety/Tolerability of Pramlintide Acetate When Administered by Subcutaneous Infusion in a Basal-Bolus Manner as an Adjunct to Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

This research project will investigate the effects of pramlintide (Symlin) given by continuous subcutaneous (under the skin) infusion throughout the day and night, along with meal doses similar to those injected during conventional pramlintide (Symlin) treatment, delivered using a second insulin pump, in subjects with inadequately controlled type I diabetes mellitus who are already using insulin pump therapy. Study participants will wear two pumps for a four month period, taking insulin in their usual manner and pramlintide (Symlin) in a similar basal/bolus fashion. Continuous glucose monitors will be worn on three occasions during the study to assess blood glucose responses to continuous pramlintide (Symlin) treatment.

Read the detailed description

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY:

To participate in the study, you must have Type I diabetes mellitus and be taking insulin using an insulin pump, and have a hemoglobin A1c level between 7.0% and 10.0%. You will not be permitted to participate in the study if you have taken pramlintide (Symlin) during the previous three months. The study will consist of seven visits to the Study Center over a four-month period. Subjects will undergo meal tolerance testing at beginning and end of study period. Continuous blood glucose monitoring will be performed on three occasions during the study.

Pramlintide will be begun at a single basal rate of 1.5 units/hr. Bolus therapy will be begun thereafter per standard manufacturer protocol. Subjects will be monitored for three months on basal-bolus pramlintide therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Continuous Pramlintide infusion in people with IDDM, run by University Diabetes & Endocrine Consultants 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 9 inclusion and 12 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 16 Jan 2013. 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?

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?

Fasting and postprandial pramlintide pharmacokinetics (time frame: Four months). 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 NCT00502138, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jan 2013.
