About this study

Official title: A 6-week, Randomised, Multi-centre, Open-labelled, Parallel Group, Exploratory Trial to Investigate the Safety of SIBA Once Daily + NovoRapid® Compared to Insulin Detemir Once Daily + NovoRapid®, All in a Basal-bolus Regimen in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety (with emphasis on hypoglycaemia) after switching from long-acting insulin analogue or intermediate-acting insulin to insulin degludec (NN1250, SIBA) on a basal-bolus regimen in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Being tested
insulin degludec, insulin detemir, insulin aspart
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Observed rate of major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up

  2. Rate of Nocturnal Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Observed rate of nocturnal major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL. Episodes were defined as nocturnal if the time of onset was between 23:00-05:59 (both inclusive).

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Corresponds to number of adverse events. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up

  2. Change in Body Weight

    Observed change from baseline in body weight after 6 weeks of treatment

    Measured: Week 0, Week 6

  3. Electrocardiogram (ECG)

    The number of subjects having a electrocardiogram (ECG) that changed from 'Normal' or 'Abnormal, not clinically significant' to 'Abnormal, clinically significant'. 'Abnormal, Clinically significant' is an abnormality that suggests a disease and/or organ toxicity and is of a severity, which requires active management.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 6

  4. Diastolic Blood Pressure (BP)

    Mean values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 6

    Measured: Week 0, Week 6

  5. Systolic Blood Pressure (BP)

    Mean values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 6

    Measured: Week 0, Week 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing insulin degludec, insulin detemir and insulin aspart in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 8 sites in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 3 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 8 sites in Japan. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Rate of Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic Episodes (time frame: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00841087, 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 3 Mar 2017.
