About this study

Official title: Effects of Liraglutide on Left Ventricular Function in Chronic Heart Failure Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The investigators planned to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on left ventricular function in chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world wide. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone that regulates plasma glucose, and has direct effects on the cardiovascular system. In our previous study, the GLP-1 analogue liraglutide could improve left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, the effects of GLP-1 on chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on left ventricular function in chronic heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • GLP-1Drug

    Also called Liraglutide

    Liraglutide were taken daily for 3 months

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo were taken daily for 3 months

Study groups in NCT02650596
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GLP-1 groupExperimentaldrug: liraglutide (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Subcutaneous liraglutide were taken daily; duration: 3 months. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg liraglutide once daily for 1 week, then 1.2 mg liraglutide for another 1 week, and then 1.8 mg liraglutide to the end.
Receives: Drug: GLP-1
Control groupPlacebo comparatordrug: placebo (Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark); the frequency: Placebo were taken daily; duration: 3 months. After admission, the patients were treated with 0.6 mg placebo once daily for 1 week, then 1.2 mg placebo for another 1 week, and then 1.8 mg placebo to the end.
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. left ventricular ejection fraction measured by 3D echocardiography

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the effect of liraglutide on left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) measured by 3D echocardiography at 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. plasma NT-proBNP levels

    a change in plasma NT-proBNP levels at 3 months after treatment

    Measured: 3 months

  2. a change in 6-minute walk distance

    The change in 6-minute walk distance at 3 months after treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events

    differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events at 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GLP-1 in people with Heart Failure, run by Shi Yang at 1 site in China.

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 15 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 8 Jan 2016. 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 China. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

left ventricular ejection fraction measured by 3D echocardiography (time frame: 3 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 NCT02650596, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Jan 2016.
