About this study

Official title: An 18-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Comparator Study of Two Doses of Oral HDV-Insulin and Placebo With Background Metformin Treatment in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the reduction in mean glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) between 2 doses of oral HDV-I and placebo in type 2 diabetic patients on background metformin therapy at the end of 18 weeks of treatment.

The secondary objectives are:

  • To evaluate the effects of oral HDV-I versus placebo on the 7-point glucose test, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β), frequency of hypoglycemic events, body weight, and lipid levels; and
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral HDV-I.
Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a washout/stabilization period of up to 12 weeks in duration and an 18-week double-blind treatment period. There will be a total of 8 visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Oral Hepatic Directed Vesicles (HDV)-Insulin (U-15) and Oral Hepatic Directed Vesicles (HDV)-Insulin (U-5) in people with Diabetes, run by Diasome Pharmaceuticals at 40 sites in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 20 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 26 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the reduction in mean glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) between 2 doses of oral HDV-I and placebo in type 2 diabetic patients on background metformin therapy at the end of 18 weeks of treatment. (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 26 May 2021.
