About this study

Official title: Health Assessment, Patient Treatment Satisfaction and Quality-of-Life in Insulin-naive Type 2 Diabetes Patients Uncontrolled on Oral Hypoglycemic Agent Treatment Initiating Basal Insulin Therapy With Either Insulin Glargine or NPH Insulin

Primary Objective:

To investigate the impact of insulin glargine versus Neutral Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin on a composite diabetes related quality of life score (DRQoL).

Secondary Objective:

A comparison of combination therapy with insulin glargine versus Neutral Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin from baseline to endpoint in terms of:

  • Glycaemic parameters: 7 blood glucose profiles
  • Incidence of confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia as well as confirmed severe hypoglycemia
  • Change in lipid status
Being tested
Insulin Glargine (HOE901)/NPH Insulin
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • Insulin Glargine (HOE901)/NPH InsulinDrug

    Arm 1: Subcutaneous injection of Insulin Glargine with the TactiPen® injector pen once daily at any time, but each day at the same time

    Arm 2: Subcutaneous injection of Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin with the TactiPen® injector pen once or twice daily at the discretion of the treating physician

    The starting dose is 10 I.U. (NPH basal insulin) resp. 10 U (insulin glargine) per day.

    The dose adjustments will be based on the results of self-monitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Health Assessment, Patient treatment satisfaction and Quality-of-Life

    Measured: At baseline (visit 2: randomization), at 24 weeks after the randomization (visit 7: cross over visit) and 48 weeks after the randomization (visit 12: endpoint)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Glycaemic parameters assessment

    Measured: At baseline (visit 2: randomization), 24 weeks after the randomization (visit 7) and 48 weeks after the randomization (visit 12: endpoint)

  2. Anteropometric data (Weight, waist circumference) assessment

    Measured: At baseline (visit 2: randomization), 24 weeks after the randomization (visit 7) and 48 weeks after the randomization (visit 12: endpoint)

  3. Lipid assessment

    Measured: At 24 weeks after the randomization (visit 7) and 48 weeks after the randomization (visit 12: endpoint)

  4. Hypoglycemia assessment

    Measured: Throughout the study from starting until the week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Glargine (HOE901)/NPH Insulin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 17 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 22 Nov 2012. 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 Germany. 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?

Health Assessment, Patient treatment satisfaction and Quality-of-Life (time frame: At baseline (visit 2: randomization), at 24 weeks after the randomization (visit 7: cross over visit) and 48 weeks after the randomization (visit 12: endpoint)). 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 NCT00941369, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Nov 2012.
