About this study

Official title: A Multicentre, Multinational, Randomised, Open Study to Establish the Optimal Method for Initiating Lantus(Insulin Glargine) Therapy to Determine Metabolic and Economic Outcomes, Safety, and Satisfaction in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

To introduce initiation of glargine insulin treatment in primary care based on a patient education program. To show and compare feasibility of group education to individual education program.

Being tested
Insulin Glargine
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus

What participants receive

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

  • Insulin GlargineDrug

    Also called Lantus

    Insulin glargine administered by subcutaneous injection daily at bedtime for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Superiority is based on observing clinically significant difference in glycaemic control (> than or = to 0,5 % HbA1c). Programs are defined as equally successful if the HbA1c differs less than 0,5 %.

    Measured: HbA1c values at visits 1, 2, 5 and 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sanofi at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Finland, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom. 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?

Superiority is based on observing clinically significant difference in glycaemic control (> than or = to 0,5 % HbA1c). Programs are defined as equally successful if the HbA1c differs less than 0,5 %. (time frame: HbA1c values at visits 1, 2, 5 and 10). 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 NCT00565162, 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 25 Aug 2008.
