Trial summary

Real-world data can supplement the knowledge gained from traditional randomized controlled trials. To date, only a couple of studies (Andrew et al. 2014 and Wilding et al. 2015) have been conducted assessing the use of dapagliflozin in the real-world clinical settings in the United Kingdom and no research has been… Read more about this study

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 dapagliflozin in conjunction with insulin therapy will be selected for this study.

Who may be able to join

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

Who cannot join

  • glomerular filtration rate (GFR)<60, pregnancy, type 1

About this study

Official title: Real-world Data on Dapagliflozin: Characteristics and Health Outcomes of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Dapagliflozin in Conjunction With Insulin

Real-world data can supplement the knowledge gained from traditional randomized controlled trials. To date, only a couple of studies (Andrew et al. 2014 and Wilding et al. 2015) have been conducted assessing the use of dapagliflozin in the real-world clinical settings in the United Kingdom and no research has been done on the use of dapagliflozin in Canadian clinical practice settings.

To the investigators' knowledge, no real-world study exits assessing the impact of using dapagliflozin in conjunction with insulin in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus on dosage and frequency of insulin, oral antiglycemic agents and hypertension drugs. This study will use an electronic medical record-based data that contains demographic, drug coverage, vitals, lab results, medical problems and diabetes-related complications, and medication prescription information of patients with diabetes received care from all outpatient diabetes clinics in London Ontario, Canada to assess the impact of using dapagliflozin in conjunction with insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on health outcomes, and medications dosing and frequency.

Read the detailed description

Adult individuals (age≥18) with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving care at the diabetes outpatient clinics at St. Joseph's Health Centre London (Canada) who have been treated with dapagliflozin in conjunction with insulin therapy will be selected from the Web DR researchable database for this study. Web DR is a diabetes-specific, web-based, researchable, electronic medical record and database. With no existing electronic medical record tailored for diabetes patients, the system was designed and implemented by the Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism of St. Joseph's Health Care London. The St. Joseph's Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism is the primary regional center for diabetes and endocrine disease management in Southwestern Ontario. Web DR is an electronic medical record with clinician-friendly pick-lists to enable structured electronic medical record data collection at the point of care, and is currently being used by 14 Endocrinologists and three Family Physician Diabetologists in the outpatient diabetes clinics at St. Joseph's Health Care London, Canada.

The baseline period will be 6 months to allow for more complete observation of comorbidities and medication use patterns. HbA1c, lipid, blood pressure, weight and other clinical indicators measured during the baseline period (closest to the date of dapagliflozin prescription) and follow-up period (3 and 6 months after prescription of dapagliflozin) will be extracted from the database. The last clinical value within the follow-up period and ≥30 days after the start of the medication data will be selected as follow-up information.

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 dapagliflozin and its impact on clinical outcomes.

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.

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 7 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 7 Mar 2017.
