About this study

Official title: A Comparison of PK/PD Dose Response Characteristics of Glargine in Type 2 Diabetics

The study is to determine the dose response relationship of insulin glargine in type 2 diabetes over a 24-hour period and measuring the differences in glucose production among the differing doses of glargine.

Hypothesis: Differing doses of insulin glargine over a 24-hour period in type 2 diabetes will show differing effects on endogenous glucose production, glucose disposal and carbohydrate and lipid flux.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of type 2 DM is increasing worldwide at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, the number of individuals with glycemic control at or below the American Diabetes Association goal of 7% has dropped. In fact, the number of patients with their important cardiometabolic risk factors of glucose, lipids and blood pressure at goal is only 7%. One of the reasons for this lack of metabolic control in type 2 DM is the continued relative underutilization of insulin. Diabetes is an insulin deficient state and requires appropriate physiologic replacement of insulin. Physiologic replacement of insulin requires a basal component to restrain overnight endogenous glucose production, lipolysis and proteolysis. The other component involves prandial insulin to regulate post prandial glucose levels. Recently, insulin glargine was introduced as a once-a-day peakless basal insulin. This form of basal insulin reproduces the normal constitutive physiologic release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin glargine represents a breakthrough in treatment as the previous available "basal insulins" either produced peaks of activity (which are disadvantageous as this results in hypoglycemia) or do not last 24 hrs which results in post absorbative hyperglycemia. Despite the undoubted advantages of insulin glargine, there remains a lack of information regarding some aspects of glargine action. The study objectives are: 1) to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic dose response relationship of insulin glargine in Type 2 DM; 2) partition the dose response relationship of insulin glargine on endogenous glucose production and glucose uptake in Type 2 DM; and 3) to determine if the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of insulin glargine are consistent over a wide range of doses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Insulin Glargine 0.5 u/kg body wt SC, Insulin Glargine 1.0 u/kg body wt SC and Insulin Glargine 1.5 u/kg body wt SC in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Vanderbilt University 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 Apr 2017. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 3 Aug 2015). 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?

Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT00574912, 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 Apr 2017.
