About this study

Official title: Optimized Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetics With Heart Failure:"Effect on Left Ventricular Function and Skeletal Muscle"

The investigators wish to investigate wether a more strict diabetic control improves cardiac function, muscle strength, exercise capacity and decreases symptoms.

The investigators hypothesis is that improving the glycemic control in suboptimized diabetics with heart failure will improve cardiac performance, muscle strength, exercise capacity and decrease symptoms.

Being tested
all antidiabetic drugs will be appliable
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Heart Failure

What participants receive

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

  • all antidiabetic drugs will be appliableOther

    We expect all participants to be set on insulin during the intervention, however all types of insulin and other antidiabetics can be used goal: Hba1c lower than 7,5%

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular function

    Left ventricular function will be evaluated using echocardiografi measuring:

    • 2D Ejection fraction (using an ultrasound agent), global and regional tissue velocity, Strain / strain rate - all measures done during rest and dobutamin stress test.

    Measured: 4 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. hormonal and metabolic profile

    bloodsamples

    Measured: 4 month

  2. 6-minutes hall walk test

    using a hall walk protocol

    Measured: 4 month

  3. Exercise capacity and peak oxygen consumption

    using a treadmill test and continues oxygen consumption measurement

    Measured: 4 month

  4. Muscle strength and mass

    muscle strength: hand grip test

    Measured: 4 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing all antidiabetic drugs will be appliable in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 6 Mar 2015. 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 Denmark. 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 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?

Left ventricular function (time frame: 4 month). 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 NCT01213784, 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 6 Mar 2015.
