About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative efficacy of insulin pump therapy versus multiple daily injections in insulin-taking type 2 diabetes mellitus who are sub-optimally controlled with premixed insulin regimen. This research is necessary because many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus do not meet their glucose targets.

In advanced Type 2 diabetes mellitus, many patients develop worsening diabetes control and unable to reach the glucose targets despite intensive insulin regimens.This is further complicated by the risks of low blood sugar and weight gain. These limitations of multiple daily injection treatment show the need for new treatments for this group of patients.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates between group change in glycemic control (HbA1c) after 6 months of insulin pump therapy in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, as compared to patients on multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy over the same time period. It also evaluates between group changes in diabetes clinical outcomes after 6 months in patients with type 2 DM. Patient related outcomes will be measured after 6 months of therapy. The primary endpoint will be between group difference in average HbA1c changes from baseline to 6 months, when comparing Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) to MDI.

The secondary end point concerns the safety issues such as severe hypoglycemia incidence: defined as an episode absolutely requiring assistance from another person and preferably accompanied by a confirmatory blood glucose by finger stick of less than 50mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L), (i.e., subject is unable to treat self and requires carbohydrate, glucagon or other resuscitative actions to prevent further clinical deterioration), hospitalizations, Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), an acute metabolic complication of diabetes, characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperketonemia, and metabolic acidosis, within group difference in HbA1c from 6 months to 12 months, change in weight or BMI, change in Lipids : total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein(HDL),low density lipoprotein(LDL),triglyceride, change in blood pressure, Insulin Dosage Changes (Total Daily Dose), Number of self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG)/day, treatment satisfaction: Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status and change version (DTSQs and DTSQc).

The hypotheses underlying the secondary outcomes : the pump therapy improves glycaemic control whilst utilizing less total daily dose of insulin in comparison to multiple daily injections of insulin. This is associated with parallel improvement in metabolic profiles such as blood pressure and lipids. As for the glucose monitoring, investigators want to evaluate whether there is any difference in the frequency of SMBG/day between the 2 treatment groups. More frequent SMBG monitoring denotes better compliance, motivation and empowerment by the participants to control their diabetes.

What is being measured

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

    Between group difference in HbA1c changes from baseline to 6 months, when comparing CSII to MDI

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)

Number of events of severe hypoglycemia : defined as an episode absolutely requiring assistance from another person and preferably accompanied by a confirmatory blood glucose by finger stick of less than 50mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L), (i.e., subject is unable to treat self and requires carbohydrate, glucagon or other resuscitative actions to prevent further clinical deterioration)
    2. Any hospitalizations for hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemic emergencies

    Measured: 1 year

    Between and within group difference in the number of SMBG per day between CSII and MDI. The data is downloaded using Bayer Glucofacts Deluxe Software from the glucometer during each visit.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Total Daily Insulin Dosage per day in Unit/day

    Between and within group total daily insulin dosage per day in Unit/day between CSII and MDI. The total daily insulin dose per day in the CSII group is downloaded from Medtronic CareLink Therapy Management Software whereas for the MDI group, it is the cumulative dosage of total insulin per day.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Total Daily Insulin Dosage per body weight in kilograms per day (Unit/kg/day)

    Between and within group total daily insulin dosage per day (Outcome 6) divide by body weight in kilograms (Outcome 8) measured as (Unit/kg/day) for each patient,comparing between CSII and MDI

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Body weight in kilograms

    Between and within group body weight in kilograms, comparing between CSII and MDI

    Measured: 1 year

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 20 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 13 Apr 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 Malaysia. 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 Noor Rafhati Adyani NR Abdullah, MBBS,MRCP (+60174675921, adyania@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

between group difference of HbA1c changes from baseline to 6 months (time frame: 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 13 Apr 2017.
