What is being measured

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

  1. Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item

    Preference of injection device was assessed by questionnaire which asks, "Overall, which device do you prefer?" The Prescott test will be run to examine if a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices exits, while controlling for order effects and taking into account the neutral responses.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Ease of Use

    Participants responded to the Diabetes Injection Device - Preference Questionnaire (DID-PQ), Item 9 (ease of use) to compare the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices with regard to ease. Response options of "strongly prefer" and "prefer" were combined for each device, resulting in 3 categories: prefer dulaglutide, prefer semaglutide, and no preference. The Prescott test will be run to examine if a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices exists while, controlling for order effects.

    Measured: Day 1

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.

Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT03724981, 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.
