What is being measured

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

  1. FPIR (first phase insulin response)

    First phase insulin response during 10-min IVGTT (intravenous glucose tolerance test )

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 104 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety: serum and urine amylase, serum lipase, serum calcitonin, hypoglycemia

    Safety: serum and urine amylase, serum lipase, serum calcitonin, hypoglycemia

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 104 weeks

  2. Tolerability

    Tolerability: frequency of side effects, particularly hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 104 weeks

  3. Serum C-peptide AUC

    Serum C-peptide area under the curve (AUC) during 2-hour OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test)

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 104 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Victoza® in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Oulu at 3 sites in Finland.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 25 Jan 2022. 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 Finland. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

FPIR (first phase insulin response) (time frame: From baseline to 26 and 104 weeks). 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 NCT02611232, 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 25 Jan 2022.
