What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change in HbA1c [percent] from baseline to the last study visit (Vlast)

    Measured: Baseline to last visit

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean change in HbA1c from baseline to each scheduled post-randomization visit

  2. Mean change from baseline to each scheduled post-randomization visit and Vlast in blood parameters

    blood parameters: serum lipids (high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol [HDL], low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol [LDL], and triglycerides [TG]), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fructosamine, glycerol, free fatty acids [FFA], plasma insulin, fasting pro-insulin, cholesterol, c-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-α, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), adiponectin, and leptin

  3. Mean change from baseline to each scheduled post-randomization visit and Vlast based on a 5-hour period post meal area under the curve (AUC) for FFA, glycerol, glucose, glucagons, insulin, and C-peptide

  4. Mean change in body weight, waist and hip circumference, waist to hip ratio, and body mass index (BMI) from baseline to each scheduled post-randomization visit and Vlast

  5. Time to event (study withdrawal, time to study withdrawal due to an adverse event (AE) and time to lack of efficacy (LOE)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Roflumilast in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by AstraZeneca.

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 21 inclusion and 0 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 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

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?

Mean change in HbA1c [percent] from baseline to the last study visit (Vlast) (time frame: Baseline to last visit). 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 Oct 2016.
