What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels

    To assess the efficacy of 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg dapagliflozin compared to placebo as add-on therapy to insulin in improving glycaemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycaemic control on ≥ 30 IU injectable insulin daily for at least 8 weeks prior to enrolment, as determined by the change in HbA1c levels from baseline to Week 24, excluding data after insulin up-titration.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight

    To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin is superior in reducing body weight or causing less weight gain as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment after 24 weeks of treatment (LOCF), excluding data after insulin up-titration.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  2. Adjusted Mean Change in Calculated Mean Daily Insulin Dose

    To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin leads to a lower absolute calculated mean daily insulin dose as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment alone, from baseline to week 24, including data after insulin up-titration.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  3. Proportion of Participants With Calculated Mean Daily Insulin Dose Reduction

    To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin leads to higher percentage of participants with calculated mean daily insulin dose reduction from baseline to week 24 (i.e. reduction >= 10%) as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  4. Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

    To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin is superior in reducing Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment after 24 weeks of treatment, excluding data after insulin up-titration.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 92 sites in 13 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 29 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 92 sites in Canada, United States, Germany, Hungary, Finland and 8 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 23 Aug 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?

Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels (time frame: Baseline to Week 24). 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 NCT00673231, which also lists 8 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 29 Oct 2013.
