About this study

Official title: Premix 70/30 Insulin Plus Supplemental Lunch Insulin in Comparison to Basal Plus Prandial Supplemental Scale and Sliding Scale Insulin in Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Purpose: To compare efficacy and safety of traditional sliding scale insulin (SSI) versus modified 70/30 insulin versus modified basal plus supplemental scale /bolus insulin regimens for glycemic control in hospitalized diabetic patients with diabetes.

Methods: In a prospective trial, patients with diabetes will be randomized to receive either traditional hospital SSI , or twice daily 70/30 insulin plus supplemental lunchtime insulin for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL or once every night glargine plus three times prandial glulisine for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL . 70/30 insulin and glargine will be started respectively at 0.4 and 0.2 U/kg/day for BG ≤ 200 mg/dL or 0.5 and 0.3 U/kg/day for BG above 200 mg/dL.

Study groups in NCT01855243
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
glargine plus supplemental glulisineActive comparatorPatients who will be recruited to be treated with glargine/glulisine, will received 50% of TDD as detailed demonstrated in Umpierrez et al., studies . as This includes administration of glargine (Lantus®) once every night plus glulisine (Apidra®) before each meal for BG ≥ 150 mg/dL. Glargine dose will be calculated as 0.2 U/kg/day for admission BG less than 200 mg/dL or 0.3 U/kg/day for BG exceeding 200 mg/dL. Glargine was given using Solostar Flex-Pen® once daily in the evening around 8:00 pm. Glulisine was given using the Solostar Flex-Pen® three times just before the meals for BG > 150 mg/dL according to hospital sliding scale. To avoid hypoglycemia, if for any reason, a subject missed a meal, the dose of glulisine will be held.
Receives: Drug: Glargine; Drug: glulisine
70/30 insulin plus supplemental lunch insulinActive comparatorModified split-mixed insulin protocol adopted by Umpierrez et al., will be applied to patients treated with 70/30 insulin. Insulin dose will be started at 0.4 U/kg/day for admission BG less than 200 mg/dL or 0.5 U/kg/day for BG above 200 mg/dL. Two thirds of total daily dose (TDD)will be given before breakfast and 1/3 of TDD before dinner. Supplemental lunchtime regular insulin dose will given for BG > 150 mg/dL . Patients previously treated with 70/30 insulin before admission initially will receivethe same regimen as at in home.
Receives: Drug: regular insulin; Drug: 70/30 insulin
Sliding Scale insulin (SSI)Active comparatorFor SSI group, regular insulin will be administered three times daily subcutaneously approximately 30 min before meal for BG > 150 mg/dL (or every 8 hours if a patient was not eating) according to hospital sliding scale table
Receives: Drug: regular insulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Daily Blood Glucose (BG) Concentration During Their Hospital Stay.

    Measured: during hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

  2. Mean BG After First Day of Hospitalization

    Measured: after first day of hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Patients Developed Hypoglycemic Events

    Hypoglycemic episodes are classified as major (BG ≤ 40 mg/dL or associated with impaired mental status or loss of consciousness), or minor (BG between 40 and 59 mg/dL) events.

    Measured: during hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

  2. Number of Patients Developed Episodes of Severe Hyperglycemia

    Hyperglycemic events are defined as BG > 300 mg/dL.

    Measured: during hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

  3. Mortality Rate

    Measured: during the hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing regular insulin, 70/30 insulin and Glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM), run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Daily Blood Glucose (BG) Concentration During Their Hospital Stay. (time frame: during hospital stay which is expected to be average 3 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01855243, which also lists 2 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.
