About this study

Official title: Better Acceptance of a Single Injection Apidra (Insulin Glulisine) Added to Once Daily Lantus (Insulin Glargine) Versus Twice Daily Premixed Insulin in a Real Life Use Setting

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate non-inferiority of once daily injection of insulin glargine (Lantus) plus one injection of mealtime insulin glulisine (Apidra) at the main meal versus twice daily premixed insulin (NovoMix 30/70) based on the reduction of HbA1c percentage from baseline to endpoint.

Secondary Objective:

  • To determine treatment satisfaction (DTSQs/Diabetes Treatment Questionnaire - Status, DTSQc/ Diabetes Treatment Questionnaire - change and ITSQ/Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire)
  • To determine the mean HbA1c, FBG (Fasting Blood Glucose), prandial BG (Blood Glucose) and proportion of patients with a HbA1c <7%
  • To determine the effect on adverse events (e.g. symptomatic hypoglycemic events, weight gain and injection site reactions)
  • To determine the total insulin dose, average insulin glargine, insulin glulisine and premixed insulin dosages.
Being tested
Insulin glulisine, Insulin glargine, Premixed insulin (Insulin Aspart 30/70 )
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Value

    Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a biological parameter that reflects the blood glucose concentration over a long period of time. It is the standard parameter for glycemic control follow -up in diabetic patients.

    Measured: at screening (week - 2), week 12 (if available) and 24

  2. Self Measured Blood Glucose (SMBG)

    Measured: at Baseline (week 0), week 2, 12 and 24

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. DTSQs (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status)

    Measured: at week 0, 12 and 24

  2. DTSQc (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - change)

    Measured: at week 24

  3. ITSQ (Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire)

    Measured: at week 0, 12 and 24

  4. Hypoglycemic events

    Measured: at week 0, 2, 12 and 24

  5. Adverse Events (excluding hypoglycemic events)

    Measured: at week - 2, 0, 2, 12 and 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin glulisine, Insulin glargine and Premixed insulin (Insulin Aspart 30/70 ) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2013. 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 Netherlands. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Value (time frame: at screening (week - 2), week 12 (if available) and 24). 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?
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 29 May 2013.
