About this study

Official title: A Trial Comparing the Effect and Safety of Insulin Degludec Versus Insulin Detemir, Both in Combination With Insulin Aspart, in the Treatment of Pregnant Women With Type 1 Diabetes

The investigators are doing this study to see the effect of insulin degludec in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, and if it is safe to use. In this study the medicine insulin degludec is compared to another medicine called insulin detemir. Participants will either get insulin degludec or insulin detemir and take it together with a medicine called insulin aspart - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get pre-filled insulin pens. Participants will need to take blood sugar measurements several times a day. The study will last between 10 and 25 months depending on whether participants are already pregnant when they join the study. The number of visits and the tests ( for example blood and urine samples and ultrasound scans) the participants will have also depends on whether they are pregnant at study start.

Being tested
Insulin degludec, Insulin Aspart, Insulin detemir
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What is being measured

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

  1. Last Planned Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Prior to Delivery

    Mean of the HbA1c data collected at gestational week (GW) corresponding to last planned visit prior to delivery is presented. This could be either GW 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from both in-trial and on-treatment observation periods. In-trial observation period started at randomization and ended at the date of trial completion, up to 24 months. The date of trial completion was the date of the final scheduled follow-up visit (delivery + 58 days). For participants who had not attended the follow-up visit, the date of trial completion was the date of the last participant-investigator contact. On-treatment observation period started at the date of first dose of trial product and ended at the date of the last day on trial product, up to 22 months.

    Measured: From GW 16 to GW 36

  23. Neonatal Hypoglycaemic Episodes Defined as Plasma Glucose Below or Equal to 1.7 mmol/L (31 mg/dL) or Below or Equal to 2.5 mmol/L (45 mg/dl) (Yes/no)

    Number of infants with neonatal hypoglycaemic episodes is presented. Neonatal hypoglycaemic episodes defined as plasma glucose ≤ 1.7 mmol/L (31 mg/dL) during the first 24 hours after birth or below or equal to 2.5 mmol/L (45 mg/dl) between 24 hours and 48 hours after birth. In the reported data, 'Yes' infers number of infants with neonatal hypoglycaemic episodes whereas 'No' infers number of infants with no neonatal hypoglycaemic episodes. Unaddressed category refers to the cases where either the parents of the infant had not given consent to share information after delivery or the participants who were withdrawn from trial and they did not give any further information or if the participants did not fill the pregnancy outcome form.

    Measured: During between 24 and 48 hours after birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Insulin degludec, Insulin Aspart and Insulin detemir in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 71 sites in 15 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 20 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 71 sites in United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Australia, Argentina and 10 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 27 Apr 2022). 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?

Last Planned Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Prior to Delivery (time frame: From GW 16 to GW 36). 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 NCT03377699, 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 20 Jan 2023.
