About this study

Official title: A Prospective Trial of U500 Regular Insulin by Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Severe Insulin Resistance Who Have Failed Previous Insulin Regimens

Patients with Type 2 diabetes and severe insulin resistance with very large insulin requirements who have failed all previous insulin regimens using non-concentrated forms of insulin (U100 insulin formulations) will receive 5X concentrated insulin (U500 regular insulin)infused via insulin pump.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Type 2 diabetes who have severe insulin resistance and very large insulin requirements (over 1.4 units of insulin /kg/day) often fail insulin regimens with persistent poor blood glucose control when standard U-100 insulin formulations are used. This is due in part to poor absorption of the large insulin volumes required using these less concentrated standard insulin preparations. The hypothesis that using a concentrated form of insulin called U-500 Regular insulin and delivering it by infusion via insulin pump will lower the volume of insulin required and therefore improve insulin absorption, which will lead to improved blood glucose control, will be tested.

What participants receive

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

  • U-500 Insulin delivered by Omnipod (disposable insulin pump)Drug

    U-500 insulin (concentrated insulin) will be infused continuously subcutaneously using a disposable insulin pump called an Omnipod; the insulin infusion dosage will be individualized to each subject's needs

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement in Glycemic Control as Assessed by Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    HbA1c is expressed as a percentage. This measurement represents an average of plasma glucose concentration for about 3 months. We will report the change in HbA1c measured at 12 months vs Baseline.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Time Spent in Hypoglycemia

    For the purposed of this study, hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose measurement of less than 70 mg/dl. As part of of this study, subjects will wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for 72 hours to assess glycemic control. The percent of time in hypoglycemia is a part of the download from the CGM.

    Measured: baseline versus 12 months

  2. Patient Satisfaction With Insulin Delivery Method Via Insulin Delivery Rating System Questionnaire (IDRSQ)

    Overall satisfaction rated on a scale of 0-100 percent with higher numbers indicating greater satisfaction with the insulin delivery method.

    Measured: Baseline versus 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing U-500 Insulin delivered by Omnipod (disposable insulin pump) in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance, run by Mountain Diabetes and Endocrine 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 6 Feb 2014. 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 30 Dec 2013). 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?

Improvement in Glycemic Control as Assessed by Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00606034, 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 6 Feb 2014.
