Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This retrospective study will use data from an EMR-based (Web DR) researchable database, which has been used to study patient's socioeconomic characteristics, treatment patterns and health outcomes of patients with diabetes. The Web DR de-identified researchable database contains integrated demographic, clinical and laboratory test result data of patients who received care from outpatient diabetes clinics in London, Ontario. The database includes more than 16,000 patients and their clinic visit information since 2000. Adult individuals (age>=18) with type 2 diabetes registered in Web DR who have been treated with canagliflozin in conjunction with insulin therapy will be selected for this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Type 2DM >18 years of age, diabetes patients on insulin who initiated Canagliflozin due to a need of tighter glycemic control .

Who cannot join

  • glomerular filtration rate (GFR)<45, pregnancy, type 1

About this study

Official title: Characteristics and Health Outcomes of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Canagliflozin Added to Insulin Therapy in a Real-world Setting

This study is a retrospective chart review study aiming to assess the characteristics and health outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes treated with canagliflozin when used in addition to insulin therapy. Furthermore, the project aims to establish an EMR-based cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with canagliflozin to allow for future longitudinal studies that investigate outcomes over a longer follow-up period, and whether canagliflozin (when used in addition to insulin therapy) has an impact on diabetes-related healthcare costs.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective study will use data from an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)-based database (Web based Diabetes Records (Web DR) researchable database), which has been used to study patient's socioeconomic characteristics, treatment patterns and health outcomes of patients with diabetes. The Web DR de-identified researchable database contains integrated demographic, clinical and laboratory test result data of patients who received care from outpatient diabetes clinics in London, Ontario. The database includes more than 16,000 patients and their clinic visit information since 2000.

Adult individuals (age>=18) with type 2 diabetes receiving , registered in Web DR who have been treated with canagliflozin in conjunction with insulin therapy will be selected for this study. The baseline period will be 6 months to allow for more complete observation of comorbidities and medication use patterns.

The main objective of this project is to assess the characteristics and health outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes treated with canagliflozin when used in addition to insulin therapy.

HbA1c, lipid, blood pressure, weight and other clinical indicators will be gathered from lab results during the baseline period closest to the date of canagliflozin prescription and follow up period (the last clinical value within the follow-up period and >=30 days after the start of the medication data will be selected.

The type of insulin used and dosages prescribed during the study follow-up period will be extracted from the database to examine the insulin dosage prescription pattern and understand the use of insulin with canagliflozin and its impact on clinical outcomes.

Furthermore, use of oral antihyperglycemic agents (metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinedione, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides, Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, bromocriptine) and injectable antihyperglycemic therapies (pramlintide, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists) will be measured during the 6 months baseline period and the follow-up period of 3 and 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 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 Canada. 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?

change in HbA1c value (time frame: baseline and 6 months). 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 13 Sep 2016.
