About this study

Official title: The Impact Of Insulin Glulisine In Comparison With Aspart On Postprandial Glycemia After The High-Glycemic Index Meal In Children With Type 1 Diabetes - Cross-Over Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.

The aim of this study is to determine whether insulin glulisine is more effective in postprandial glycemic control than insulin aspart after the H-GI meal in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) treated with insulin pump (CSII).

Read the detailed description

Some studies have suggested that insulin glulisine (GLU) has a slightly faster onset of action compared with insulin aspart (ASP). Meals of high glycemic index (H-GI) have distinct effect on postprandial glycaemia (PPG).

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial glycemia

    Measured: baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after the breakfast

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Hypoglycemia episodes

    Hypoglycemia was defined as a PG concentration below 65 mg/dl with or without symptoms

    Measured: 3-h study period

  2. Glucose Area Under the Curve (AUC)

    based on continuous glucose monitoring system

    Measured: 3-h study period

  3. Mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE)

    Measured: 3-h study period

  4. Difference between the maximum and baseline glycemia

    Measured: 3-h study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin glulisine and Insulin aspart in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 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 7 Oct 2014. 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 Poland. 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 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?

Postprandial glycemia (time frame: baseline, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after the breakfast). 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 NCT01678235, 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 7 Oct 2014.
