Study groups in NCT01554631
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1ExperimentalDay 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without Glucobay ODT 100 mg; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus Glucobay ODT 100 mg taken without water
Receives: Drug: Acarbose (Glucobay ODT, BAYG5421)
Arm 2ExperimentalDay 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without Glucobay ODT 100 mg; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus Glucobay ODT 100 mg taken with water
Receives: Drug: Acarbose (Glucobay ODT, BAYG5421)
Arm 3Active comparatorDay 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without Glucobay standard tablet 100 mg; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus Glucobay standard tablet 100 mg taken with water
Receives: Drug: Acarbose (Glucobay, BAYG5421)

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio of postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax) of blood glucose following sucrose load with Glucobay (Day 1) and without Glucobay (Day 0)

    Measured: within 4 hours after sucrose load

  2. Ratio of postprandial Area under curve from 0 to 4 hours (AUC(0-4)) of blood glucose following sucrose load with Glucobay (Day 1) and without Glucobay (Day 0)

    Measured: within 4 hours after sucrose load

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Difference in postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax) of blood glucose and serum insulin following sucrose load with acarbose (day 1) and without acarbose (day 0)

    Measured: within 4 hours after sucrose load

  2. Difference in postprandial area under curve from 0 to 4 hours (AUC(0-4)) of blood glucose and serum insulin following sucrose load with acarbose (day 1) and without acarbose (day 0)

    Measured: within 4 hours after sucrose load

  3. Safety parameters

    Adverse events (AEs), clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, physical examination, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, electrocardiogram (ECG)

    Measured: Assessed in pre study treatment, study treatment, and follow-up visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Acarbose (Glucobay ODT, BAYG5421) and Acarbose (Glucobay, BAYG5421) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 14 Jun 2013. 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 Germany. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Ratio of postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax) of blood glucose following sucrose load with Glucobay (Day 1) and without Glucobay (Day 0) (time frame: within 4 hours after sucrose load). 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?
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 14 Jun 2013.
