About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Design Trial. Glycemia Optimization Treatment: Safety of Glucose Control Using Dosing Algorithms With Lantus®(Insulin Glargine [rDNA Origin[) in Adult Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes.

To compare the frequency of severe hypoglycemia events for 5 dosing algorithms of Lantus®, each of varying intensity and defined by their end-of -study target for self monitored plasma glucose(SMPG), in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with inadequate glycemic control (A1C greater than or equal to 7.0%) on oral antidiabetic drug therapy(OAD).

  • Lantus®Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the frequency of severe hypoglycemia events for 5 dosing algorithms of Lantus®, each of varying intensity and defined by their end-of-study target for self monitored blood glucose (SMBG).

    Measured: From the start to the end of the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the number of subjects whose final A1c is <7.0% at the end of the study for the 5 dosing algorithms.

    Measured: From the start to the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lantus® in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi.

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 10 inclusion and 13 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 21 Jul 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

To compare the frequency of severe hypoglycemia events for 5 dosing algorithms of Lantus®, each of varying intensity and defined by their end-of-study target for self monitored blood glucose (SMBG). (time frame: From the start to the end of the 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 21 Jul 2009.
