  6. Percentage of Patients With at Least One Episode of Significant Ketosis and/ or Risk Level for Impending Diabetic Ketoacidosis

    Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is preceded by an increase in ketone production, resulting in blood ketone value increase (hyperketonemia) and later in ketone urine value (hyperketonuria).

    Significant hyperketonemia and risk level for impending diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are reported respectively as a blood ketone value from 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L and >1.5 mmol/l

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  7. Monthly Rate of Episode of Significant Ketosis and/ or Risk Level for Impending Diabetic Ketoacidosis

    Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is preceded by an increase in ketone production, resulting in blood ketone value increase (hyperketonemia) and later in ketone urine value (hyperketonuria).

    Significant hyperketonemia and risk level for impending diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are reported respectively as a blood ketone value from 0.6 to 1.5 mmol/L and >1.5 mmol/l

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  8. Rate of Symptomatic Hypoglycemia With a Plasma Glucose (PG) ≤ 70 mg/dL Per Patient-year

    Symptomatic hypoglycemia is defined as an event with clinical symptoms that are considered to results from hypoglycemia (confirmed or not by a glucose measurement) and associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate administration.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  9. Rate of Severe Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Per Patient-year

    Severe symptomatic hypoglycemia is defined as an event with clinical symptoms that are considered to results from hypoglycemia in which the patient required assistance of another person and one of the following:

    • the event was associated with a measured blood glucose level below 36 mg/dL
    • or event was associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  10. Rate of Nocturnal Symptomatic Hypoglycemia With a Plasma Glucose (PG) ≤70 mg/dL Per Patient-year

    Nocturnal Symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms that are considered to result from hypoglycemia (confirmed or not by a glucose measurement) and associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate administration which occurs while the patient is asleep, after bedtime and before getting up in the morning.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  11. Patients With at Least One Site Infection, Site Inflammation/Erythema, Pruritus or Isolated Pain at Injection Site

    Infection: local reaction at the infusion site requiring local or systemic antibiotherapy, or local drainage as per Investigator judgment.

    Site inflammation or erythema: local reaction at the infusion site with no need for local or systemic antibiotherapy as per Investigator judgment.

    Pruritis at injection site: presence of pruritis at the infusion site without any symptom of inflammation or erythema and/or infection.

    Isolated pain at injection site: presence of pain at the infusion site without any symptom of inflammation or erythema and/or infection.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  12. Time Interval Between Infusion Set Changes: All Changes

    Patients treated with insulin pump have to change their infusion set regularly (i.e.change was recommended every 48h). The patients were asked to report any change of their infusion set and the reason for change (routine basis or because of occurrence of a specific event such as occlusion, unexplained hyperglycemia or adverse event).

    "All changes" include all the changes whatever the reason such as routine or requested by occurrence of events.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  13. Time Interval Between Infusion Set Changes in Routine

    Patients treated with insulin pump have to change their infusion set regularly (i.e.change was recommended every 48h). The patients were asked to report any change of their infusion set and the reason for change (routine basis or because of occurrence of a specific event such as occlusion, unexplained hyperglycemia or adverse event).

    Changes in routine correspond to interval between changes according to patient use.

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  14. Glycosylated Hemoglobin: HbA1c

    Glycolysated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a biological parameter that reflects the blood glucose concentration over a long period of time. It is the standard parameter for glycemic control follow-up in diabetic patients. This parameter is expressed in percentage (%) and the target in diabetes management is to reach a HbA1c <7%

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  15. Total Daily Basal Insulin Infusion

    dose of the basal insulin regimen administered throughout the 24-hour period

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

  16. Total Daily Bolus Insulin Dose

    dose of every increment administered for example before meals

    Measured: over 13 weeks of each treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin glulisine, Insulin lispro and Insulin aspart in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Sanofi at 12 sites in 12 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 8 inclusion and 19 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 31 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Australia, Austria, France, Hungary and 7 more countries. 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 Jul 2010). 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?

Percentage of Patients With at Least One Unexplained Hyperglycemia and/ or Confirmed Infusion Set Occlusion (time frame: over 13 weeks of each treatment period). 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 NCT00607087, 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 31 Aug 2010.
