About this study

Official title: Does the GLP-1 Receptor Agonist (Victoza®) Improve the Metabolic Response to Physical Training in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes?

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of physical training in patients with type 2 diabetes during treatment with the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide (Victoza®) in a 16-weeks double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Hypothesis: Physical training leads to better metabolic control in type 2 diabetic patients when training is combined with liraglutide (Victoza®) treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. HbA1c

    Change in HbA1c from baseline to 16 weeks. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a form of haemoglobin which is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time (12 weeks).

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2peak)

    Changes in VO2peak from baseline to 16 weeks

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Body weight

    Changes in body weight from baseline to 16 weeks evaluated by a full body DEXA scan

    Measured: 16 weeks

  3. Blood pressure

    Changes in blood pressure from baseline to 16 weeks

    Measured: 16 weeks

  4. Glycaemic control

    Changes in overall glycaemic control parameters, insulin sensitivity and beta cell function evaluated by The Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) and incretin hormones response

    Measured: 16 weeks

  5. Meal test

    The changes in the postprandial response of incretin hormones, insulin and glucose, glucagon and the microvascular blood flow will be evaluated. Changes in blood leves of triglycerides and cholesterol.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  6. Myocardial echocardiography

    Measured: 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Training and liraglutide in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Tina Vilsboll 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 29 May 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

HbA1c (time frame: 16 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 29 May 2015.
