About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Titration Programs of Adding Insulin Detemir to Oral Antidiabetic Drugs in Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Patients

This study compared the effectiveness and safety of two treatment algorithms for insulin detemir initiation and titration: active titration algorithm (performed by investigator weekly) versus usual titration algorithm (performed by study subjects weekly) in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled by OADs.

Read the detailed description

This is a 24-week, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study conducted in approximately 200 patients with type 2 diabetes in the Taiwan. The effectiveness of insulin detemir will be assessed at baseline and at 12 and 24 weeks after initiation of study prescription. The safety will be followed during the 24-week study period.

Inclusion criteria:

Patients must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Men and women with type 2 diabetes.
  2. 20 years of age.
  3. Patients who have received stable doses of any OADs for at least 10 weeks prior to the screening visit.
  4. Patients with inadequate glycemic control (HbA1C >=7% and < 11%).
  5. Patients who are willing and able to cooperate with study and give signed informed consent.

After enrollment, eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following titration algorithms:

  • Active titration algorithm: contact with investigator by telephone weekly.
  • Usual titration algorithm: contact with investigator only at routine study visit.

What participants receive

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

  • Active titration algorithmBehavioural

    Also called Insulin detemir active titration algorithm

    Patients in active titration algorithm group will contact with investigator by telephone weekly to self-adjust the insulin dose till they achieve the target of FPG(<110mg/dl).

  • Usual titration algorithmBehavioural

    Also called Insulin detemir usual titration algorithm

    All patients will be instructed to self-measure fasting capillary blood glucose. The dose of insulin detemir will be adjusted based on the average of three consecutive FPG values. the daily insulin dose should be increased by 2 IU/day if the FPG>=110mg/dL, and by 4 IU/day if the FPG>=180 mg/dL without any intervening hypoglycemic episodes; or it should be decreased by 2 or 4 IU/day if the FPG < 70 mg/dL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active titration algorithm and Usual titration algorithm in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Mackay Memorial Hospital at 3 sites in Taiwan.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 20 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Taiwan. 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.

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?

To compare the change in HbA1c between two study groups at Week 24. (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 20 Aug 2018.
