About this study

Official title: The Effect of Exenatide Compared to Insulin Glargine on Cardiac Function and Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Congestive Heart Failure: a Randomized Comparator-controlled Trial

What participants receive

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

  • exenatideDrug

    Also called exenatide-Byetta

    Exenatide 5 mcg BID for 4 weeks, subsequently increased to 10 mcg BID for the remainder of the study (total of 26 weeks).

  • Insulin glargineDrug

    Also called insulin glargine-Lantus

    Insulin glargine will be initiated at 10 IU QD, titrated according to fasting blood glucose concentrations based on general protocol-defined guidance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) will be used to assess global cardiac function (LV ejection fraction).

    Measured: week -2 and week 11

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiac oxygen consumption, cardiac efficiency and stress perfusion will be assessed by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using 11C-acetate and H2-15O

    Measured: week -2 and week 26

  2. Cardiac function, dimensions and scarring will be measured bij CMR

    Measured: week -2 and week 26

  3. Myocardial diastolic function parameters will be obtained bij trans thoracal echocardiography. Comparisons will be made of strain and torsion measures obtained bij CMR and echocardiography.

    Measured: week -2 and week 26

  4. Exercise capacity and performance will be assessed by a 6-minute walking test

    Measured: week -1 and week 27

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing exenatide and Insulin glargine in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Congestive Heart Failure, 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 9 Dec 2015. 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.

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?

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) will be used to assess global cardiac function (LV ejection fraction). (time frame: week -2 and week 11). 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 NCT00766857, 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 9 Dec 2015.
