About this study

This study examines prospectively the safety and efficacy of switching from multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) to once daily IDegLira (insulin degludec and liraglutide fix ratio combination), a fixed-ratio combination of insulin degludec and liraglutide, in relatively well controlled (HbA1c<7.5%) subjects with type 2 diabetes using low total daily insulin dose (TDD).

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetic patients suffering from severe hyperglycemia are often apply multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). If glucose toxicity resolves, the regimen may potentially be simplified, but there are no specific guidelines regarding this and a lot of patients are left on MDI.

The Investigators aimed to examine prospectively the safety and efficacy of switching from MDI to once daily IDegLira, a fixed-ratio combination of insulin degludec and liraglutide, in relatively well controlled (HbA1c<7.5%) subjects with type 2 diabetes using low total daily insulin dose (TDD).

The investigators hypothesize that in everyday clinical practice switching from low dose MDI to IDegLira in patients of different ages with well-controlled (or overcontrolled) type 2 diabetes is safe, may induce weight loss and result in similar or better glycemic control.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • de-escalation of complex insulin regimensOther

    complex insulin regimens are switched to fix ratio combinations consisting of of a basal insulin and a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants reaching HbA1c<7% and HbA1c<6.5%

    HbA1c is measuerd by laboratory blood test

    Measured: it is checked at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  2. change in body weight from baseline to 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

    body weight is measured at the diabetes ambulance

    Measured: it is checked at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  3. change in risk of hypoglycemia from baseline to 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

    hypoglycemia risk is assessed by analysing the patients' diary

    Measured: it is checked at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HBA1c and Body Weight, run by Bekes County Central Hospital at 1 site in Hungary.

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 5 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 13 Feb 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 Hungary. 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?

Number of participants reaching HbA1c<7% and HbA1c<6.5% (time frame: it is checked at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04020445, 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 13 Feb 2023.
