About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring (FREESTYLE LIBRE) on the Occurrence of Cardiac Arrhythmias Associated With Hypoglycemia in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, High Risk of Hypoglycemia and Insulin Therapy : Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial

Hypoglycemia, frequently asymptomatic, may lead to cardiac arrythmias and induce an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study hypothesize is that the hypoglycemia reduction, achieved with the FREESTYLE LIBRE device, a Glucose Continuous Monitoring system, may decrease cardiac arrythmias associated with hypoglycemia. So the main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the FREESTYLE LIBRE system, associated with a specific therapeutic education on the cardiac arrythmias reduction, compared to a capillary ASG system with standard therapeutic education, in patient with T2D with high risk of hypoglycemia.

This is a open, multicenter, controlled, randomized study in parallel group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of cardiac arrythmic events during a 14 days Continuous ECG Monitoring

    Cardiac arrythmic events :

    • Bradycardia < 45 bpm for ≥ 10 seconds
    • or Asystole ≥ 3 seconds
    • or Atrial Fibrillation ≥ 30 seconds
    • or Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia defined as runs of beats arising from the ventricles with duration between 3 beats and 30 s with QRS ≥ 120ms and with RR intervall ≤ 600 ms (>100 bpm)

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Prevalence of each component of the primary outcome

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Prevalence of ≥ 5 minutes Atrial Fibrillation episodes

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Mean QT interval

    Measured: First 24 hours

  4. Prevalence of ventricular extrasystoles

    Measured: First 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FREESTYLE LIBRE device, a Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and Usual self monitoring Blood Glucose device in people with Insulin Treated Type 2 Diabetes With High Risk of Hypoglycemia, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 7 sites in France.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact SAULNIER Pierre-Jean, Prof. (+33 549444689, pierre-jean.saulnier@chu-poitiers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of cardiac arrythmic events during a 14 days Continuous ECG Monitoring (time frame: 14 days). 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 22 Oct 2020.
