About this study

Official title: Effect of Short-Term Intensive Insulin Sequential Exenatide Therapy on β-cell Function and Glycemic Remission Rate in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The randomized, controlled trial is to investigate and evaluate the effects of short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) sequential exenatide therapy on β-cell function, long-term glycemic control and glycemic remission rate in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

The UK Prospective Diabetes Study has shown that β-cell function progressively deteriorates over time in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, irrespective of lifestyle and existing pharmacological interventions. The progressive nature of type 2 diabetes is one of the major challenges in the treatment of affected patients, and agents that could alter the natural history of this condition would add greatly to current treatment approaches. Short-term intensive insulin therapy of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes will improve beta-cell function and usually leading to a temporary remission time. The effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on beta-cells is stimulation of glucose-dependent insulin release, followed by enhancement of insulin biosynthesis. It is stimulating beta-cell proliferation, induction of islet neogenesis, and inhibition of ß-cell apoptosis. Exenatide is synthetic exendin-4, GLP-1 receptor agonist. Exenatide exerts direct effects on β-cell, which indicates that may contribute to delay disease progression. However, no study has evaluated effect of short-term intensive insulin sequential exenatide therapy model on β-cell function and glycemic remission rate in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. This current study is thus designed to evaluate effect of short-term intensive insulin sequential exenatide therapy model on β-cell function , glycemic control and glycemic remission rate in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

What participants receive

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

  • insulin lispro injection, exenatide injectionDrug

    First, Patients in the exenatide group will receive short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin (CSII)therapy. The doses will be titrated every day in order to attain the glycaemic goal which is defined as a fasting capillary blood glucose of less than 6.1 mmol/L and capillary blood glucose at 2 h after each of three meals of less than 8.0 mmol/L. Treatments will be maintained for 2 weeks after the glycaemic target will be reached. Then, patients will Sequential be treated with 5 mcg bid for 4 weeks and then 10 mcg bid for 8 weeks. After interventions will be stopped, patients will be instructed to continue diet and physical exercise only and will be followed-up with glycaemic monitoring monthly

  • insulin lispro injectionDrug

    Patients in the control group will receive insulin with an insulin pump. The doses will be titrated every day in order to attain the glycaemic goal. Treatments will be maintained for 2 weeks after the glycaemic target will be reached. Then interventions will be stop, patients will be instructed to continue diet and physical exercise only and will be followed-up with glycaemic monitoring monthly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing insulin lispro injection, exenatide injection and insulin lispro injection in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 10 Mar 2015. 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 China. 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?

the glycemic remission rate in different groups (time frame: one year). 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 10 Mar 2015.
