About this study

Official title: Retrospective Cohort MRC ABPI STratification and Extreme Response Mechanism in Diabetes:

This study will examine extreme responders to second- and third-line Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) therapy using a retrospective approach and patients with slow or fast diabetes progression.

Read the detailed description

PILOT Phase (March 2013 - Dec 2014) Patients will be recruited initially from 2 centres, plus Exeter as a pre-PILOT centre. Patients with particularly good or poor response to second- and third-line Type 2 diabetes treatments and patients progressing to insulin either particularly quickly or particularly slowly will be recruited from primary, secondary, or community settings. Fasting blood and urine samples will be collected, along with standard biomeasures and information will be collected about medical history and prescribing history.

All study documentation and sample materials will be sent out to sites from the coordinating centre. Sites will be expected to process and freeze samples and send them to the Central Laboratory managed by the Chief Inspector's site where they will be analysed for genetic factors, glycaemic markers and other markers related to drug response.

POST-PILOT Phase (Jan 2015- Oct 2017): Subject to feasibility, interim analysis and continuation of funding from Medical Research Council (MRC), this project will continue for another three years.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02109978
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RespondersPatients with Type 2 diabetes that have been taking a second- or third-line glucose-lowering treatment (Sulphonylurea, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1R agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, Glitazone or insulin) for at least 4 months.
ProgressorsPatients with Type 2 diabetes that progressed to requiring insulin treatment ≤10 years from diagnosis or have had no requirement for insulin treatment >10 years from diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to diabetes therapy and rate of diabetes progression

    The primary outcome will be to compare the clinical characteristics of the patients who show an excellent response or poor response to specific second- and third- line classes of treatment for Type 2 diabetes; and of those patients that show rapid progression of Type 2 diabetes or slow progression of Type 2 diabetes to markedly high blood glucose despite the treatment that they require.

    Measured: Within 9 months from date of recruitment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Collection of samples for analysis of potential biomarkers

    To collect a set of DNA, serum and urine samples to allow analysis of potential genetic and non-genetic biomarkers for drug response and diabetes progression.

    Measured: within 9 months of recruitment date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 0 inclusion and 3 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 21 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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.

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?

Response to diabetes therapy and rate of diabetes progression (time frame: Within 9 months from date of recruitment). 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 21 Jun 2018.
