Trial summary

Functional Insulin Therapy (FIT) is an heath care method proposed to type 1 diabetic patients which focuses on patient autonomy, carbs counting and insulin dose adaptation. The hypothesis is that FIT should lead to better glycemic control (HbA1c), less hypoglycemia and better quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Functional Insulin Therapy on Blood Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetic Patients Treated by Insulin Pumps

Functional Insulin Therapy (FIT) is an heath care method proposed to type 1 diabetic patients which focuses on patient autonomy, carbs counting and insulin dose adaptation. The hypothesis is that FIT should lead to better glycemic control (HbA1c), less hypoglycemia and better quality of life. 60 patient will be enrolled and followed during one year.

Read the detailed description

Functional Insulin Therapy (FIT) is an heath care method proposed to type 1 diabetic patients which focuses on patient autonomy, carbs counting and insulin dose adaptation. In this study we plan to enroll 60 patients who will be educated toFIT and followed during one year. Patient will follow normal path of eductation which is composed of a 3 days inpatient admission, a medical visit one month after the education, and a 4hours reminder session six months after the education. We will compare HbA1c, hypoglycemia, weight, before the education, and after. Patient will also wear a continuous glucose sensor during one week before, at month 6 and month 12 to allow comparison of glucose variablity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference between HbA1c at Month 12 and Month 0 > 0.5%

    Measured: at baseline et at Month 12

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Difference between HbA1c at Month 3 and Month 0 > 0.3%

    Measured: at baseline et at Month 3

  2. Difference between HbA1c at Month 6 and Month 0 > 0.5%

    Measured: at baseline and at Month 6

  3. Difference between HbA1c at Month 9 and Month 0 > 0.5%

    Measured: at baseline and at Month 9

  4. Reduction of 50% of hypoglycemia < 60mg/dl

    Measured: at Month 12

  5. Reduction of 30% of hypoglycemia between 60 and 80mg/dl

    Measured: at Month 12

  6. Reduction of number of patients who have severe hypoglycemia

    Measured: at MONTH 12

  7. Better score at surveys of quality of life (SF-6D, DQOL) and auto-management

    Measured: at baseline, at Month 6 and at Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Education to Functional Insulin Therapy in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 29 Nov 2016. 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 France. 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?

Difference between HbA1c at Month 12 and Month 0 > 0.5% (time frame: at baseline et at Month 12). 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 Nov 2016.
