About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Glargine U300 and Glargine U100 for the Inpatient and Post-Hospital Discharge Management of Medicine and Surgery Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to find out if treatment with Glargine U300 when compared to Glargine U100 will result in similar sugar control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), who are admitted to the hospital and then transition at home, after discharge from the hospital.

Read the detailed description

Several randomized clinical trials done previously in medicine and surgical patients with T2D have shown that basal bolus regimen with glargine results in a lower mean daily blood glucose (BG) concentrations compared to the sole use of sliding scale regular insulin (SSI) and in lower rate of hospital complications. Glargine U300 results in similar improvement but in lower rate of hypoglycemia than treatment with glargine U100. No previous studies; however, have compared the efficacy and safety of glargine U300 in the management of hyperglycemia and diabetes in the hospital setting. This study will determine if treatment with glargine U300 has a similar glucose control in patients with diabetes admitted to the hospital and if glargine U300 will result in lower number of low blood sugars compared to glargine U100 .

What participants receive

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

  • Glargine U300Drug

    Also called Toujeo

    Glargine U300 is a new generation long-acting insulin.

  • Glargine U100Drug

    Also called Lantus

    Glargine U100 is a long-acting insulin.

  • Glulisine InsulinDrug

    Also called Apidra

    Glulisine is a mealtime insulin taken either 15 minutes before or 20 minutes after a meal.

Study groups in NCT03013985
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Basal bolus insulin with glargine U300 and glulisine insulinExperimentalSubjects treated with insulin prior to admission will receive 80% of the total daily dose (TDD) given as basal bolus insulin regimen with glargine U300 once daily plus rapid-acting glulisine insulin before meals. In insulin-naïve subjects treated with oral agents, the oral antidiabetic drugs will be discontinued and the bolus insulin dose described above will be given. Half of TDD will be given as glargine U300 and half as glulisine. To prevent hypoglycemia, if a subject is not able to eat, the dose of glulisine will be held.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration Inpatient

    The mean daily blood glucose concentration for all participants will be calculated by taking the average of all pre-meal and bedtime glucose values collected each day after the first day of therapy during the hospital stay.

    Measured: up to 10 days (day of hospital discharge)

  2. Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration After Hospital Discharge

    Subjects will measure their blood sugar levels at home by finger stick before meals two or three times per day and record the readings in a diary. The readings will be averaged for each day and the mean daily blood glucose concentration will be calculated.

    Measured: assessed from day 11 (day after hospital discharge) up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Admission HbA1c Lower Than 8%

    Glycemic control will be measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with HbA1c lower than 8% at admission. The average of all pre-meal and bedtime glucose values will be calculated.

    Measured: up to 3 months post enrollment

  2. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Admission HbA1c Higher Than 8%

    Mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with HbA1c higher than 8% at admission will be recorded

    Measured: up to 3 months post enrollment

  3. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Shorter Than 3 Days

    Glycemic control will be conducted by measuring mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay shorter than 3 days

    Measured: Up to 3 days

  4. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Shorter Than 5 Days

    Glycemic control will be conducted by measuring mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay shorter than 5 days

    Measured: Up to 5 days

  5. Mean Daily Glucose in Patients With Length of Stay Longer Than 5 Days

    Glycemic control will be measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration for subjects with length of hospital stay longer than 5 days. The average of daily pre-meal and bedtime glucose values will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 10 days

  6. Percent of Blood Glucose 70-180 Measured by Point of Care Test

    Percent of Blood Glucose Readings in the 70-180 mg/dL Range Measured by Point of Care Test

    Measured: 3 months post enrollment

  7. Percent of Subjects With Hypoglycemic Events

    Percent of of subjects with hypoglycemic events (BG < 70 mg/dl) will be recorded.

    Measured: 3 months post enrollment

  8. Percent of Subjects With Severe Hypoglycemia

    Percent of subjects experiencing severe hypoglycemia (BG <54 mg/dl) will be recorded.

    Measured: 3 months post enrollment

  9. Number of Days of Hospital Stay

    The number of days of hospital stay for each subject will be recorded.

    Measured: Up to 10 days

  10. Number Subjects With Cardiac Complications

    The number of subjects experiencing cardiac cardiac complications will be recorded.

    Measured: 3 months post enrollment

  11. Number of Patients With Acute Renal Failure

    The number of subjects with a clinical diagnosis with documented new-onset abnormal renal function (increment in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dL from baseline).

    Measured: 3 months post enrollment

  12. Hospital Mortality

    Number of hospital deaths that occur.

    Measured: During hospital stay - up to 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Glargine U300, Glargine U100 and Glulisine Insulin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Emory University at 4 sites 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 May 2020. 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 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 May 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration Inpatient (time frame: up to 10 days (day of hospital discharge)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03013985, 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 7 May 2020.
