What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline (BL) in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The BL HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from BL was calculated as the value at Week 52 minus the value at BL. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): change = treatment + BL HbA1c + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing post-BL HbA1c values; the last non-missing post-BL on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. HbA1c values obtained after hyperglycemic rescue were treated as missing and were replaced with pre-rescue values. One Intent-to-Treat (ITT) participant (par.) had all post-BL HbA1c measurements occur after hyperglycemic rescue. This par. is included in the ITT Population counts but did not contribute to this analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 104 and 156

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. This analysis used observed HbA1c values, excluding those obtained after hyperglycemia rescue; no missing data imputation was performed.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 104 and 156

  2. Time to Hyperglycemia Rescue

    Participants who experienced persistent hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) could have qualified for hyperglycemia rescue. The conditions for hyperglycemia rescue were as follows: FPG >=280 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) between >=Week 2 and <Week 4; FPG >=250 mg/dL between >=Week 4 and <Week 12; HbA1c >=8.5% and a <=0.5% reduction from Baseline between >=Week 12 and <Week 24; HbA1c >=8.5% between >=Week 24 and <Week 48; HbA1c >=8.0% between >= Week 48 and <Week 156. Participants could have been rescued at any time on or after Week 2. Time to hyperglycemia rescue is defined as the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of hyperglycemia rescue plus 1 day, or the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of the last visit during the active treatment period plus 1 day for participants not requiring rescue. This time was divided by 7 to express the result in weeks.

    Measured: From the start of study medication until the end of the treatment (up to Week 156)

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 52

    The FPG test measures blood sugar levels after the participant has not eaten (fasted) for 12 to 14 hours. The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. The LOCF method was used to impute missing post-Baseline FPG values. FPG values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with pre-rescue values. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on ANCOVA: change = treatment + Baseline weight + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 156

    The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline FPG minus the Baseline FPG.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 156

  5. Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful HbA1c Response Levels of <6.5%, <7%, and <7.5% at Week 52

    The number of participants who achieved the HbA1c treatment goal (i.e., HbA1c response levels of <6.5%, <6.5%, and <7.0% at Week 52) were assessed.

    Measured: Week 52

  6. Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful HbA1c Response Levels of <6.5%, <7%, and <7.5% at Week 156

    The number of participants who achieved the HbA1c treatment goal (i.e., HbA1c response levels of <6.5%, <6.5%, and <7.0% at Week 156) were assessed.

    Measured: Week 156

  7. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 52

    The Baseline value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline weight minus the Baseline weight. The LOCF method was used to impute missing post-Baseline weight values. Weight values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with prerescue values. Based on ANCOVA: change = treatment + Baseline weight + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  8. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 156

    The Baseline value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline weight minus the Baseline weight.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 156

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing albiglutide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 331 sites in 6 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 331 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Peru, South Africa, India and 1 more country. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jul 2014). 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?

Change From Baseline (BL) in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52 (time frame: Baseline and Week 52). 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 NCT00849056, 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 Jan 2017.
