About this study

Official title: To Investigate Whether the Postprandial Blood Sugar Level as Achieved Using Ultrarapid-Acting Type Insulin Could Prevent Great Vessel Disorder in Japanese Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

For the purpose of comparing efficacy of intensive therapy between 1) ultrarapid-acting type insulin (insulin aspart) and 2) conventional rapid-acting type insulin (R), a Multicenter Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial was planned in Japan using the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes, a high risk factor, as an index.

Read the detailed description

A survey shows that the most frequently observed direct cause of death in diabetic patients is cardiovascular disorder. However, investigations and surveys such as DCCT, UKPDS and KUMAMOTO-study, etc. clarified that strict control of blood sugar level prevented development and progress of diabetic microangiopathy, but could not show a significant effect on great vessel disorder. Recently, the DECODA-study, DECODE-study and Honolulu-study have demonstrated that postprandial high blood sugar is involved in great vessel disorder. Therefore, possible prevention of great vessel disorder in diabetic patients is suggested by improving the postprandial blood sugar level as achieved using ultrarapid-acting type insulin, which has become available recently. Even with results in Europe and the US obtained, the life-style and incidence of complications in Japanese people are different, and there are many points that remain uncertain with respect to the direct application of foreign results to Japanese people. Therefore, in Japan also, it is necessary to conduct a large-scale clinical study and to establish high-level evidence using mainly Japanese people through hospitals having many patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 11 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 14 Jan 2008. 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 Japan. 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.

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?

Cardiovascular events 1)Sudden death 2)New development or recurrence of apoplexy or TIA 3)New development or recurrence of AMI or and angina pectoris 4)Newly developed ASO, amputation of leg due to ASO (time frame: five years). 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 NCT00575172, 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 14 Jan 2008.
