What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
insulin detemirDrug
Prescribed insulin detemir and insulin aspart based on the clinical judgement of the physician. The insulin preparations were prescribed by the physician solely as a result of a normal clinical evaluation. The physician determined the starting dose and frequency, as well as later changes to either dose or frequency, if any.
insulin aspartDrug
Prescribed insulin detemir and insulin aspart based on the clinical judgement of the physician. The insulin preparations were prescribed by the physician solely as a result of a normal clinical evaluation. The physician determined the starting dose and frequency, as well as later changes to either dose or frequency, if any.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Levemir® users | Not described Receives: Drug: insulin detemir; Drug: insulin aspart |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Change in weight
Change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG)
Change in 4-points glucose profiles
Change in lipid profile
Number of hypoglycaemic events
Number of adverse events

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 0 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 31 Jan 2017. 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 Slovakia. 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?
Change in HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin). 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 NCT01548248, 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 31 Jan 2017.
