About this study

Official title: A Trial Comparing the Effect of Exercise on Blood Glucose Between Insulin Degludec and Insulin Glargine in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to compare the effect of exercise on blood glucose in subjects with type 1 diabetes, who are treated with either insulin degludec (IDeg) or insulin glargine (IGlar).

Being tested
insulin degludec, insulin glargine
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • insulin degludecDrug

    Subjects will be randomised to a treatment sequence consisting of two treatment periods in which the subjects will receive IDeg and IGlar, respectively. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. Dose individually adjusted.

  • insulin glargineDrug

    Subjects will be randomised to a treatment sequence consisting of two treatment periods in which the subjects will receive IDeg and IGlar, respectively. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. Dose individually adjusted.

What is being measured

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

  1. BGpre-exe - BGminimum,exe, difference between blood glucose concentration before exercise and the minimum blood glucose concentration observed during exercise

    Measured: From 0 to 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. BGmean,exe, mean blood glucose concentration during exercise

    Measured: From 0 to 30 minutes

  2. BGmean,30-180min,post-exe, mean blood glucose concentration

    Measured: Between 30 and 180 minutes, i.e. post-exercise

  3. BGminimum,30-180min,post-exe, minimum blood glucose concentration

    Measured: Between 30 and 180 minutes, i.e. post-exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing insulin degludec and insulin glargine in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S 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 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 16 Dec 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 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?

BGpre-exe - BGminimum,exe, difference between blood glucose concentration before exercise and the minimum blood glucose concentration observed during exercise (time frame: From 0 to 30 minutes). 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 NCT01704417, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Dec 2016.
