About this study

Official title: Effect of Diacerein on Insulin Secretion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Overweight or Obesity

Aim. To assess the effect of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) inhibition with diacerein administration on insulin secretion and metabolic control of drug-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity.

Hypothesis. Diacerein administration improves insulin secretion and metabolic control of drug-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight or obesity.

Materials and methods. Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Population: 40 drug-naïve adult patients with T2DM and overweight or obesity. Measurements: A metabolic profile including IL-1β, TNFα, interleukin 6, and fasting insulin levels, as well as, hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique; to assess the phases of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Intervention for 2 mo: diacerein (50 mg once daily) for the first 15 days and twice daily for 45 additional days or placebo. Statistical analyses: Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Diacerein in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Overweight, run by Coordinación de Investigación en Salud, Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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 18 Feb 2011. 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 Mexico. 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. 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?

Fasting insulin concentration (time frame: 2 mo). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01298882, 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 18 Feb 2011.
