  1. The percentage of patients experiencing at least 1 hypoglycaemic event

    Measured: During 4 weeks from baseline visit

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Hypoglycaemic events requiring hospital admission

    Measured: In the 6 months prior to (Part 1 SAQ, Self-Assessment questionnaire) and 4 weeks following (Part 2 SAQ) the baseline visit

  2. Severe hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: In the 6 months prior to (Part 1 SAQ) and 4 weeks following (Part 2 SAQ) the baseline visit

  3. Non-severe hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: In the 4 weeks prior to (Part 1 SAQ) and 4 weeks following (Part 2 SAQ) the baseline visit

  4. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: In the 4 weeks prior to (Part 1 SAQ) and following (Part 2 SAQ) the baseline visit

  5. Documented symptomatic hypoglycaemic events

    Measured: In the 4 weeks following the baseline visit (Patient Diary)

  7. All hypoglycaemic events (any type)

    Measured: In the 4 weeks prior to (Part 1 SAQ) and 4 weeks following (Part 2 SAQ) the baseline visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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?

The percentage of patients experiencing at least 1 hypoglycaemic event (time frame: During 4 weeks from baseline visit). 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 9 Apr 2015.
