What is being measured

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

  1. Change in weight

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The effect on metabolic control assessed by the changes in glycaemic parameters: HbA1c and blood glucose values

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

  2. The incidence of hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

  3. Safety parameters by collecting (serious) adverse drug reactions, pregnancies and technical complaints.

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

  4. The general well-being by using the WHO-5 well-being questionnaire.

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

  5. The treatment satisfaction of subjects treated with insulin detemir or NPH insulin by using insulin treatment satisfaction questionnaire

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

  6. The satisfaction of physicians who treat the subjects with either insulin detemir or NPH insulin by using 4 questions, which are included in CRF, at the final visit.

    Measured: after 6 months of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Romania.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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?

Change in weight (time frame: after 6 months of treatment). 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 NCT00658099, 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 Jan 2017.
