About this study

Official title: 28-week, Open, Randomized, Multinational, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Compare Efficacy and Safety of Combination Therapy of Glimepiride Plus Metformin Plus HOE901 Insulin Analogue Versus a Two-injection Conventional Therapy With Premixed Insulin NPH 30/70 Bid in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Poorly Controlled With Oral Antidiabetic Drug Treatment.

To compare efficacy of combination therapy of insulin glargine plus glimepiride and metformin versus 2 injections insulin monotherapy with premixed insulin NPH 30/70 bid in terms of change of HbA1c (baseline to endpoint) to show non-inferiority of insulin glargine plus glimepiride and metformin.

Being tested
Insulin Glargine, Glimepiride, Metformin, Insulin monotherapy with premixed insulin NPH 30/70

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of subjects with HbA1c ≤ 7.0 % and > 7.0 %

    Measured: At endpoint

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change of fasting blood glucose

    Measured: baseline to endpoint

  2. Change of nocturnal & mean daytime blood glucose

    Measured: baseline to endpoint

  3. Change of fasting plasma glucose

    Measured: baseline to endpoint and all visits

  4. Frequency of subjects with hypoglycemic events (overall, severe, non-severe, nocturnal, asymptomatic, symptomatic)

    Measured: Baseline to endpoint

  5. Frequency of hypoglycemic events(overall, severe, non-severe, nocturnal, asymptomatic, symptomatic)

    Measured: Baseline to endpoint

  6. Frequency of subjects with FBG ≤ 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l), 100 mg/dl < FBG ≤ 120 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l < FBG ≤ 6.6 mmol/l), 120 mg/dl < FBG ≤ 150 mg/dl (6.6 mmol/l < FBG ≤ 8.3 mmol/l) and > 150 mg/dl (> 8.3 mmol/l)

    Measured: At endpoint

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin Glargine, Glimepiride and Metformin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 10 sites in 10 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 5 inclusion and 0 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 28 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and 5 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. 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?

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?

Frequency of subjects with HbA1c ≤ 7.0 % and > 7.0 % (time frame: At endpoint). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Sep 2009.
