About this study

Official title: Effect of Liraglutide as Additional Treatment to Insulin in Patients With Autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of Liraglutide on autoimmune diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus (AIDM) is a subtype of diabetes mellitus caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the islet, including Type 1 diabetes and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). Insulin has been used as a routine therapy for AIDM to alleviate the hyperglycemic status, yet cannot effectively prevent the progressing destruction of beta cells or preserve its function. Glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog Liraglutide has been tested in large-scale clinical trial to prove its various benefits for beta cells and glucolipid metabolism in Type 2 diabetes and obesity patients. However, its clinical application in AIDM is not well-defined so far. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of Liraglutide on glycemic control in AIDM.

Being tested
Liraglutide, Insulin
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LiraglutideDrug

    Dose escalation of liraglutide starts from 0.6 mg up to 1.2 mg per day.

  • InsulinDrug

    Receive insulin following clinician's instruction.

Liraglutide + insulinExperimentalPatients will be subjected to a dose escalation of liraglutide up to 1.2 mg, then continue to receive the reached liraglutide dose once daily for 6 months thereafter. Insulin will be continued as routine therapy.

InsulinActive comparatorPatients will receive insulin injection as a routine therapy.
Receives: Drug: Insulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE)

    MAGE is measured by applying continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) on subjects in each follow-up of this one-year study.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in HbA1C

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Change in C-peptide

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Change in insulin dose

    hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events

    Blood sugar level higher than 11.1 mmol/l or lower than 3.9 mmol/l.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Life quality evaluation

    Number of subjects with disturbance of emotion, sleep, resting or energy.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Liraglutide and Insulin in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Autoimmune Diabetes, run by Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhiguang Zhou, MD/PhD (86-731-85292154, zhouzg@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03011008, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Mar 2020.
