About this study

Official title: Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Initiating Bydureon and Glargine

Primary objective of this study is to compare diabetes-related healthcare utilization and costs in patients initiating exenatide once weekly vs insulin glargine.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective, observational cohort analysis will assess medical and pharmacy claims for adult patients with type 2 diabetes from the Truven Health MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare Supplemental claims databases between 2011 and 2015. Diabetes-related healthcare utilization and costs will be measured as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include all-cause healthcare utilization and costs, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE)-related utilization and costs, and medically attended hypoglycemia events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by AstraZeneca 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 15 Dec 2017. 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?

Diabetes-related HCRU/costs (time frame: Up to 12 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 15 Dec 2017.
