About this study

Official title: Prospective, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Center Study Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Frequently Modified Insulin Therapy Using Dosage Recommending Device

Hygieia Research seeks to conduct a prospective randomized clinical study involving adult subjects with uncontrolled Type-2 diabetes requiring insulin. The study seeks to demonstrate that the clinical application of the d-Nav will achieve metabolic control in a safe and effective manner.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the use of d-Nav (d-Nav group) is superior to titration of insulin dosage relying on data from glucose meters with health care provider support (Control) in the management of insulin treated diabetes, by randomizing 200 insulin treated subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate a greater reduction in HbA1c at 6-months for d-Nav users compared to control patients in the primary cohort.

Being tested
d-Nav, Blood Glucose Monitoring System
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Hypoglycemia

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in HbA1C

    To demonstrate a greater reduction in HbA1c at 6-months for d-Nav users compared to control patients in the primary cohort.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Comparison Percent Reduction HbA1c

    To determine the difference between the Control and d-Nav group in the percent of participants who achieve A1c < 7.0%, < 8.0%, and >9.0% at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of Glucose Readings <70 mg/dl

    To determine the difference between the Control and d-Nav group in the number of glucose readings <70 mg/dl (symptomatic or asymptomatic) utilizing the documented downloaded glucose values.

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  3. Change in Rate of Hypoglycemia

    To determine change (if any) in rate of hypoglycemia, during the study for d-Nav users in the secondary cohort

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Comparison Percent Reduction HbA1c w/out Hypoglycemia

    To determine the difference between the Control and d-Nav group in the percent of participants who achieve A1c < 7.0%, < 8.0% without a severe hypoglycemia event at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing d-Nav and Blood Glucose Monitoring System in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Hypoglycemia, run by Hygieia Research LLC at 1 site in United States.

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 23 inclusion and 11 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Reduction in HbA1C (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02424500, 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 27 Feb 2019.
