About this study

Official title: Effects of INsulin dEtemiR and Neutral protaminE Hagedorn (NPH) Insulin on BRain glucOse Metabolism: a Study in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that subcutaneous administration of insulin detemir, as compared to insulin NPH, leads to a more pronounced effect on cerebral glucose metabolism and/or cerebral blood flow in brain regions associated with appetite regulation, to account for the reported difference in weight.

What participants receive

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

  • Insulin detemirDrug

    Also called Insulin Levemir

    100 IU/ml, QD, dose individually adjusted, to be used for a period of 12 weeks; in combination with insulin aspart TID

  • Insulin NPHDrug

    Also called Insulin Insulatard

    100 IU/ml, QD, dose individually adjusted, to be used for a period of 12 weeks; in combination with insulin aspart TID

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose, in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by FDG-PET

    Measured: After 12 weeks of treatment

  2. Cerebral blood flow, in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by H2O-PET

    Measured: After 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. CSF insulin concentration

    Measured: After 12 weeks of treatment

  2. Activity in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by fMRI

    Measured: After 12 weeks of treatment

  3. Weight change

    Measured: After 12 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insulin detemir and Insulin NPH in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 15 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 30 Dec 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose, in brain regions associated with appetite control, as determined by FDG-PET (time frame: After 12 weeks of treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00626080, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 30 Dec 2011.
