About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of Insulin Aspart and Human Soluble Insulin in Geriatric Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate if the pharmacodynamic / pharmacokinetic properties of insulin aspart and human soluble insulin are different in elderly (65 years of age or older) with type 2 diabetes.

Being tested
insulin aspart, human insulin
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose infusion rate

    Measured: in the time period from 0 to 120 min after administration of trial products (AUCGIR(0-120 min))

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. AUCGIR(0-300 min) the area under the GIR profile

    Measured: in the interval 0-300 minutes post dosing

  2. AUCGIR(0 min-end of clamp) the area under the GIR profile

    Measured: in the interval 0-600 minutes post dosing (or 0 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)

  3. AUCGIR(300min-end of clamp) the area under the GIR profile

    Measured: in the interval 300-600 minutes post dosing (or 300 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)

  4. GIRmax: the maximal GIR value

    Measured: tmax, GIR: the time to maximal GIR value

  5. early and late t50%, GIR

    Measured: the time to early and late half-maximal GIR value

  6. AUCINS(0-60 min) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profile

    Measured: in the interval 0-60 minutes post dosing

  7. AUCINS(0-300 min) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profile

    Measured: in the interval 0-300 minutes post dosing

  8. AUCINS(0min-end of clamp) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profile

    Measured: in the interval 0-600 minutes post dosing (or 0 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)

  9. AUCINS(300min-end of clamp) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profile

    Measured: in the interval 300-600 minutes post dosing (or 300 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)

  10. Cmax,ins: the maximal serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) concentration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing insulin aspart and human insulin in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 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 16 Mar 2017. 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 Germany. 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?

Glucose infusion rate (time frame: in the time period from 0 to 120 min after administration of trial products (AUCGIR(0-120 min))). 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 NCT00676819, 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 16 Mar 2017.
