Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis for at least 1 year Administration of insulin glargine for at least 2 months prior to screening; subjects must be on a stable dose of insulin glargine, + or - 15%, for at least 1 week prior to screening, given once daily at bedtime, and the dose must remain unchanged (+ or - 15%) during the screening period.
  • If subjects are taking a short-acting insulin (e.g., regular human insulin, insulin lispro, or insulin aspart) or oral antidiabetic agents (e.g., a sulfonylurea, metformin, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, a thiazolidinedione, or a metiglinide), the subject must have been receiving these medications for at least 2 months prior to screening.
  • For subjects taking an oral antidiabetic agent, the dose must be unchanged for the 2 weeks (4 weeks for a thiazolidinedione) prior to screening and should not be expected to be changed from the screening visit (day 14) through the final visit (day 11). The dose of any short-acting insulin may be changed if medically indicated.
  • Males or non-pregnant females between the ages of 6 and 75 years; women must be postmenopausal for more than 2 years, surgically sterile, or agree to use a reliable contraceptive measure for the duration of the study. Reliable contraceptive measures include the following: systemic contraceptive (oral, implant, injections), diaphragm with intravaginal spermicide, cervical cap, intrauterine device, or condom with spermicide.
  • Ability and willingness to perform blood glucose profiles using a plasma glucose meter provided at home over 11 consecutive days.
  • HbA1c < than or = to 8.5% at screening.

Who cannot join

  • Use of any other intermediate- or long-acting insulin (e.g., NPH, Ultralenter, Lenter) within the last 2 months prior to screening.
  • Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by the study protocol (e.g., systemic corticosteroids).
  • History of hypoglycemia unawareness.
  • Pregnancy (as determined by a serum pregnancy test at the screening visit).
  • Breast-feeding.
  • Treatment with any investigational drug in the 2 months prior to the screening visit.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine, or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult.
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Impaired hepatic function, as shown by but not limited to serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGPT, also known as alanine transaminase [ALT]) or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGOT, also known as aspartate transaminase [AST]) above 2x the upper limit of normal range (ULN) measured at the screening visit.
  • Impaired renal function, as shown by, but not limited to serum creatinine > than or = to 1.5 mg/dL (133 micromol/L) [males] or > than or = to1.4 mg/dL (124 micromol/L) [females] measured at the screening visit. Mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study. Subject unlikely to comply with protocol, e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and unlikelihood of completing the study.
  • Subjects who work the night shift.

About this study

To compare the percentage of subjects with a glucose measurement < than or = to 56 mg/dL at any point of the 8-point glucose profiles during 3 consecutive days before vs. 3 consecutive days after switching insulin glargine dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. 3 consecutive days after switching back to bedtime dosing of insulin glargine.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare % of subjects with glucose > or = to 56 mg/dL at any point of 8-point glucose profiles during 3 consecutive days

    Measured: before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Compare % subjects with glucose measurements < or = to 72 mg/dL & < or = to 36 mg/dL at any point of the 8-point glucose profile during 3 consecutive days

    Measured: before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime

  2. To compare the mean daily rate of hypoglycemia during 3 consecutive days

    Measured: before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime

  3. To compare the changes from baseline in glucose values at each specific measurement time of the 8-point glucose profile during 3 consecutive days

    Measured: before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime

  4. To compare the incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemia

    Measured: at any time during 3 consecutive days before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime

  5. To evaluate overall safety and tolerability based on adverse event reporting, laboratory tests, and clinical examinations

    Measured: at any time during the study

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 1 site in Mexico.

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 6 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 28 Mar 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 Mexico. 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?

Compare % of subjects with glucose > or = to 56 mg/dL at any point of 8-point glucose profiles during 3 consecutive days (time frame: before vs. after switching dosing time from bedtime to morning and vs. after switching back to bedtime). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Mar 2008.
