    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety: Serum and urine amylase, serum lipase, serum calcitonin levels will be monitored

    Safety: Serum and urine amylase, serum lipase, serum calcitonin levels will be monitored during the 26 weeks treatment period and 26 weeks follow-up period

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 52 weeks

  2. Number of hypoglycemia episodes

    Number of hypoglycemia episodes during the 26 weeks treatment period and 26 weeks follow-up period

    Measured: From baseline to 26 and 52 weeks

  3. Frequency of gastrointestinal side effects

    Frequency of gastrointestinal side effects (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) during the 26 weeks treatment period and 26 weeks follow-up period

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Insulin dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Victoza® (liraglutide) in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Oulu at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Finland, Sweden. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Serum C-peptide AUC (time frame: From baseline to 26 and 52 weeks). 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 NCT02908087, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2022.
