About this study

Official title: Effect of the Administration of Insulin Degludec Versus Insulin Glargine on Glycemic Variability in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Drug-naïve

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by wide fluctuations of glucose. The long-acting insulin has showed to improve glycemic variability however the behavior of insulin glargine versus insulin degludec is unknown.

Read the detailed description

Cross-over, double dummy, randomized, clinical trial was carried out. The sample size was calculated using the formula for clinical trials of mean differences with an "n" of 6 patients per group was obtained. Patients between 30 and 65 years of age will be included with T2DM, without hyperglycemic drugs, hemoglobin A1c (A1C) 6.5 to 11.0 % and with written signature consent. They were assigned randomly by sealed envelope either to received insulin Degludec (Novo Nordisk A/S. Bagsvaerd, Denmark) or insulin Glargine (Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH. Frankfurt, Germany) [10 international units (IU) subcutaneous (SC) every 24 hours for six days], patients who were administered initially insulin Degludec corresponded then insulin Glargine and vice versa, with a washout period of 14 days between each intervention.

The clinical findings and laboratory tests included a metabolic profile and biosafety, which will be made at baseline. Body weight, body mass index and blood pressure were performed during the initial visit, likewise, interstitial glucose concentrations by ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring system (Guardian®, Medtronic MiniMed, Northridge), through which the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) and area under the curve of glucose were calculated, which served to assess the glycemic variability. Adverse events and adherence to treatment are documented. Statistical analysis: Mann-Whitney U test, Chi2, Fisher exact test. It is considered with significance at p <0.05.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemic Variability: Mean Amplitude of Glucose Excursion (MAGE)

    Mean amplitude of interstitial glucose excursions (MAGE) during the last 48 h of the ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring of 3 days (Guardian®, Medtronic MiniMed, Northridge); starting in the day 3 of the administration of insulin degludec or glargine

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Glycemic Variability: Area Under the Curve of Glucose

    Area under the curve of glucose of the second day of continuous ambulatory glucose monitoring of 3 days (Guardian®, Medtronic MiniMed, Northridge)

    Measured: Every 5 min for 24 hours on day 5 post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin Degludec and Insulin Glargine in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Guadalajara 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 28 Sep 2020. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Glycemic Variability: Mean Amplitude of Glucose Excursion (MAGE) (time frame: 2 days). 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 28 Sep 2020.
