Trial summary

Study of blood sugars in the children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), who are given insulin detemir and a rapid acting insulin (aspart). It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the patterns of blood sugars when detemir is given in the same syringe or in separate syringes with rapid acting insulin. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Insulin Aspart and Detemir to Assess Glucose Excursion in Children With Type 1 Diabetes

Study of blood sugars in the children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), who are given insulin detemir and a rapid acting insulin (aspart). It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the patterns of blood sugars when detemir is given in the same syringe or in separate syringes with rapid acting insulin.

Read the detailed description

One of the barriers to good glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes is multiple daily insulin injections. Mixing rapid-acting (detemir) and slow- acting insulins (aspart) in the same syringe would decrease the number of injections and may improve adherence

This study hypothesized that slow-acting insulin detemir mixed with aspart would have equivalent effects on blood glucose versus giving them as separate injections in children with type 1 diabetes.

Eighteen pediatric subjects with type 1 diabetes (11 males and 7 females) were recruited. However only 14 subjects completed this 20-day, randomized, crossover, and open-labeled study. The subjects were randomly assigned to either Study A (both insulin detemir and rapid acting insulin (RAI)) or Study B (either detemir or aspart) for the first 10 days. They were then crossed over for the last 10 days. Each subject underwent 72 h of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during the last 72 h, for both Study A and Study B.Data of 48 h from midnight of the 1st day to mid- night of the 3rd day of the 72-h (CGM) were used for analysis to ensure the same starting and ending times of monitoring for all subjects.Sustained glucose values over time were calculated as area under the curve (AUC), index of blood glucose control as M-value and glucose excursion as mean amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Insulin Detemir mixed with RAI injectionDrug

    Insulin Detemir mixed with RAI injection is given twice daily as subcutaneous injection

  • Insulin Detemir and RAI injectionDrug

    Insulin detemir and RAI are given as separate injections, twice daily as subcutaneous injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the Mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Blood Glucose Concentration in Subjects Treated With Either Insulin Detemir Mixed With Rapid Acting Insulin (RAI) or Insulin Detemir and RAI as Separate Subcutaneous Injections

    Blood glucose concentration in terms of mean AUC (0-48 hours)was determined in subjects treated with either Insulin Detemir mixed with RAI or Insulin Detemir and RAI as separate subcutaneous injections.

    Measured: 0-48 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Detemir mixed with RAI injection and Insulin Detemir and RAI injection in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Montefiore Medical Center 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 7 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 17 Jul 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jul 2018). 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?

Assess the Mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Blood Glucose Concentration in Subjects Treated With Either Insulin Detemir Mixed With Rapid Acting Insulin (RAI) or Insulin Detemir and RAI as Separate Subcutaneous Injections (time frame: 0-48 hours post-dose). 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 NCT00564395, 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 17 Jul 2018.
