What is being measured

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

  1. Volume (uL) of blood in the capillary tube

    Examination of the volume of blood obtained after puncturing a fingertip with the use of 3 lancing devices set to minimum and maximum puncture depth, with the use of various-sized personal lancets (28G, 30G, and 33G).

    The volume of blood sample will be measured with the use of capillary tubes calibrated for the volume of 10 μl and a graduated ruler.

    Measured: 1 - 3.5 hours (on average 2.5 hours) plus observation time after study 30 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The intensity of pain perceived by the patient assessed with the use of the VAS (Visual Analog Scale).

    Examination of the intensity of pain perceived when puncturing a fingertip with the use of 3 lancing devices set to minimum and maximum puncture depth, with the use of various-sized personal lancets (28G, 30G, and 33G).

    Measured: 1 - 3.5 hours (on average 2.5 hours) plus observation time after study 30 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lancing device A, Lancing device B and Lancing device C in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by HTL-Strefa S.A. at 1 site in Poland.

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 7 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 5 Feb 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 Poland. 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.

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?

Volume (uL) of blood in the capillary tube (time frame: 1 - 3.5 hours (on average 2.5 hours) plus observation time after study 30 min). 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 NCT03479619, 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 5 Feb 2020.
