About this study

Official title: A Trial Investigating the Hypoglycaemic Response to Overdosing of NNC0148-0287 C (Insulin 287) in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This study is comparing the effect of a long-acting insulin analogue (insulin 287) with insulin glargine (Lantus®) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. In addition, the study is looking at symptoms of low blood sugar, awareness of low blood sugar and the time and amount of glucose needed to recover from low blood sugar after injecting 2 and 3 times the basal dose of insulin 287 and glargine. The purpose of the study is to make a once-weekly injectable basal insulin treatment for people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get insulin 287 as well as insulin glargine - which treatment any participant gets first is decided by chance. Insulin 287 is a new medicine; insulin glargine can already be prescribed. The study medicines will be in a pen, and must be injected with a needle in the thigh once per day (insulin glargine) or once per week (insulin 287). The study will last for minimum 3 months and up to approximately 6 months. Participants will have 21 clinic visits and at least 2 phone calls with the study doctor. The participants' health will be monitored carefully and blood samples will be taken at the clinic visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing insulin icodec and Insulin glargine in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 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 6 Sep 2023. 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 Austria. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Clinically significant hypoglycaemia (Double dose): Clinically significant hypoglycaemia (Plasma glucose [PG] less than 3.0 mmol/L [54 mg/dL]) after 2 times the individualised optimal basal dose of insulin (time frame: From start of hypoglycaemia induction after 2 times the individualised optimal basal dose of insulin (day 17 for insulin 287, day 4 for insulin glargine) until termination of the clamp the following day). 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 NCT03945656, 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 6 Sep 2023.
