Trial summary

The investigators anticipate that the use of Glargine will decrease the duration of an insulin drip, the dose of short-acting insulin in the drip, hospital and ICU (intensive care unit) length of stay, improve glycemic control, and prevent rebound hyperglycemias when the insulin drip is discontinued.

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of a Subcutaneously Administered Long-acting Insulin Added to Insulin Drip Therapy as Compared With Standard Insulin Drip Treatment

The investigators anticipate that the use of Glargine will decrease the duration of an insulin drip, the dose of short-acting insulin in the drip, hospital and ICU (intensive care unit) length of stay, improve glycemic control, and prevent rebound hyperglycemias when the insulin drip is discontinued.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in rebound hyperglycemia (blood glucose levels over 180 mg/dl)

    Measured: within 48 hours of discontinuation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Reduction in duration of insulin drip therapy and reduction in total and average per hour insulin drip dose

    Measured: within one week of insulin drip therapy

  2. Reduction in ICU length of stay

    Measured: within two weeks of hospitalization

  3. Equal or improved diabetes control

    Measured: within two weeks of hospitalization

  4. Reduction in time to get back to control of glycemia (140-180 mg/dl) if rebound hyperglycemia occurs

    Measured: within one week post insulin drip

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Glargine in people with Diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 1 Nov 2019. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Reduction in rebound hyperglycemia (blood glucose levels over 180 mg/dl) (time frame: within 48 hours of discontinuation). 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 1 Nov 2019.
