About this study

Official title: Multi-centre, Multinational, Open-labelled, Randomised, Parallel, Controlled Trial in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects Inadequately Controlled on Repaglinide, to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Repaglinide Combined With Bedtime NPH Insulin Versus Twice Daily NPH Insulin

This trial is conducted in Asia and South Africa. The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of repaglinide plus insulin NPH (insulin Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) with insulin NPH alone in subjects with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on repaglinide.

Being tested
repaglinide, insulin NPH
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing repaglinide and insulin NPH in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 12 sites in 5 countries.

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 3 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 20 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in South Africa, Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan. 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?

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 (glycosylated haemoglobin) (time frame: Week 0 (visit 5); week 26). 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 NCT01562561, 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 20 Feb 2017.
