About this study

Official title: Effect of Prandial Treatment With Insulin Glulisine Compared to Regular Human Insulin on Postprandial Endothelial Function and Microvascular Stress in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the postprandial time course of nitrotyrosine after injection of insulin glulisine compared with regular human insulin.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the postprandial time course of the following efficacy parameters after injection of insulin glulisine compared with regular insulin on

  • Blood Glucose
  • Insulin
  • Intact proinsulin
  • Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)
  • Metal matrix proteasis (MMP-9)
  • Oxidative status (per ox)
  • Interleukin 18 (IL-18)
  • Free fatty acids (FFA)
  • Oxidised LDL (ox-LDL)
  • Microvascular blood circulation measured with laser Doppler at 37 °C (LDF37)
  • Microvascular blood circulation measured with laser Doppler at 44 °C (LDF44)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin Glulisine and Insulin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by IKFE Institute for Clinical Research and Development at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 Nov 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 Germany. 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?

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?

the postprandial time course of nitrotyrosine after injection of insulin glulisine compared with regular human insulin (time frame: 1 day). 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 Nov 2007.
