About this study

Official title: Effects of Insulin Detemir and NPH Insulin on Renal Handling of Sodium, Fluid Retention and Weight in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Hypothesis: Changing type 2 patients treatment from Insulin Insulatard to Insulin Detemir will increase their excretion of sodium in the urine and thereby decrease their extracellular volume and body weight. 24 patients are divided into 2 groups and their insulin treatment is shifted while their body composition, sodium excretion, weight and extracellular volume is monitored.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetic patients experience weight gain when receiving insulin treatment. There has been reports that the weight gain is less or absent when patients are treated with Insulin Detemir. Patients with diabetes have increased total body sodium and increased extracellular volume. We hypothesize that part of the weight gain seen is due to increase in extracellular volume and that the lesser weight gain seen in patients treated with Detemir is due to an lesser increase in extracellular volume. We believe that the cause of this difference is the different pharmacokinetic properties of insulin Detemir. Insulin Detemir i protein bound and is therefore not excreted in the kidneys. This may cause less sodium reabsorption, than with other insulins, and therefore less increase in extracellular volume.

We test this hypothesis by examining urinary sodium excretion, extracellular volume by GFR measurements, Body composition by DEXA scan, body weight, and 24 hour blood pressure.In patients that are changed from Insulin Insulatard to Insulin Detemir and back.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Detemir; Insulin Insulatard and Insulin Detemir, Insulin Insulatard in people with Diabetes Type 2 and Weight Gain, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 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 20 Jan 2010. 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 Denmark. 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?

change in weight; change in extracellular volume (time frame: 17 weeks). 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 NCT00742976, 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 20 Jan 2010.
