About this study

The Stroke Hyperglycemia Insulin Network Effort (SHINE) Trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of 1400 patients that will include approximately 60 enrolling sites. The study hypotheses are that treatment of hyperglycemic acute ischemic stroke patients with targeted glucose concentration (80mg/dL - 130 mg/dL) will be safe and result in improved 3 month outcome after stroke.

Read the detailed description

Eligible subjects must be randomized within 12 hours of stroke symptom onset and either have type 2 diabetes and glucose concentrations of over 110 mg/dL or no history of diabetes and glucose concentrations of 150 mg/dL or higher on initial evaluation. The enrolling sites include the Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) sites as well as non NETT sites from all over the United States. The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of targeted glucose control (treatment group - IV insulin with target 80-130 mg/dl) verses control therapy of sub q insulin plus basal insulin with target glucose less than 180 mg/ dL.

Being tested
IV insulin to maintain target glucose concentration of 80-130 mg/dL, Standard Care control - sliding scale insulin to keep glucose less than 180 mg/dL

What participants receive

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

  • IV insulin to maintain target glucose concentration of 80-130 mg/dLDrug

    Also called Continuous intravenous insulin

    Intervention is to keep glucose concentration 80-130 mg/dL for up to 72 hours after randomization. IV insulin drip will be used to maintain glucose target.

  • Standard Care control - sliding scale insulin to keep glucose less than 180 mg/dLDrug

    Also called Sliding scale insulin

    Sliding scale sub q insulin given will be given up to 4 times per day based on glucose concentration. It will be given only if glucose concentration greater than or equal to 180 mg/dL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Favorable Modified Rankin Scale (Yes/No)

    Favorable for the primary efficacy outcome is defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 in patients with mild stroke (baseline NIHSS 3-7), mRS 0 or 1 in patients with moderate stroke (baseline NIHSS 8-14), and mRS 0, 1 or 2 in patients with severe stroke (baseline NIHSS 15-22) at 90 days with a pre-specified range of acceptable days of 76 -120 days. The mRS is a stroke outcome scale used to assess functional status after stroke. It consists of seven levels (0-6) where 0 indicates no residual symptoms at all, 5 indicates severe disability and 6 indicates death. The person collecting the mRS score was to be blinded to the participant's treatment group assignment.

    Measured: 90 days (-14/+30 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Severe Hypoglycemia (Blood Glucose < 40mg/dL)

    Severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 40mg/dL) is the primary safety outcome and will be measured during the 72 hour treatment period.

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With a Favorable NIHSS

    The NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) score ranges from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater neurological deficits. A favorable NIHSS was defined as a score of 0 or 1 on the NIHSS at 90 days post randomization.

    Measured: Follow up (Max 164 days)

  2. Number of Participants With a Favorable Barthel Index

    Favorable outcomes for the Barthel Index was defined as a score of 95-100 on the BI at 90 days post randomization. Barthel - Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assesses functional independence, generally in stroke patients. Scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater ability to perform activities of daily living.

    Measured: Follow up (Max 164 days)

  3. Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SSQOL)

    Stroke Specific Quality of Life. Scores range from 1-5 with higher scores indicating better quality of life

    Measured: Follow up (Max 164 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IV insulin to maintain target glucose concentration of 80-130 mg/dL in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Diabetes, run by University of Virginia at 70 sites 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 7 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 23 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 70 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With a Favorable Modified Rankin Scale (Yes/No) (time frame: 90 days (-14/+30 days)). The study lists 2 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 NCT01369069, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 23 Dec 2019.
