About this study

Official title: Effects of Local Insulin on Angiogenesis in Acute Wounds in Non-diabetic Patients

Randomized, split plot, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Half of the wounds surface was applied daily with insulin and the other half with saline solution as placebo. Biopsy specimens of the two sides were obtained on days 0 and 14. Number of blood vessels will be evaluated as main outcome.

Read the detailed description

Randomized, split plot, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Non-diabetic patients with full-thickness wounds will be treated in the following manner: in half of the surface insulin will be applied in a daily basis, on the other half, saline solution will be used as placebo. Biopsy specimens of both sides will be obtained on days 0 and 14. Number of blood vessels will be evaluated as main outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • InsulinDrug

    Half of the wound surface was treated daily with 10 units of intermediate insulin.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Normal saline

    Half of the wound surface was treated daily with 0.1 cc of normal saline.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hypoglycaemia

    Presence of capillary blood glucose of <60 mg/dl

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin in people with Angiogenesis, run by Hospital Central "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto" at 1 site in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 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 Mexico. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of blood vessels (time frame: 14 days). 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 NCT02396888, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Mar 2015.
