About this study

Official title: Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of iNCDSS Assisted Insulin Dosage Titration System on Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients : a Muticenter, Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Study

This is a multi-center, single-blind, parallel group, randomized controlled trial to access the effect and safety of the Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System (iNCDSS) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Read the detailed description

As one of the most common treatments for diabetes inpatients, insulin regimens often vary due to different physicians. Since 2016, Zhongshan Hospital has set up the Internet-based glucose management system (iGMS) to monitor plasma glucose of diabetes patients, and further set up an Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System (iNCDSS) to recommend insulin regime in 2019. Previous single-center clinical trial (NCT04053959) have indicated the efficacy and safety of iNCDSS in glycemic management in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This multi-center study enrolls 142 patients with Type 2 Diabetes from three sites who are on treatment of diabetes for at least 3 months. They will be randomly allocated into 2 groups at a ratio of 1:1 after screening for the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients in the Intervention group (iNCDSS group) receive insulin regimen set by iNCDSS and patients in Regular treatment regime group receive insulin regimen recommended by endocrinologists.

This study will be conducted in the Department of Endocrinology in Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, Shanghai fifth People's Hospital, Shanghai Xuhui Central Hospital, and will consist of a 5-day intervention period. Patient allocation will be stratified by HbA1c and sites. The primary endpoint is the time in target glucose range during the trial period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time in target glucose range

    The well-controlled blood glucose level is defined as the time of sensor glucose measurements in targeted range (3.9-10 mmol/L)

    Measured: During 5-day intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of time in which the blood glucose level is over 10 mmol/L

    The poor control of blood glucose level is defined as greater than 10 mmol/L

    Measured: During 5-day intervention

  2. Proportion of hypoglycemia

    The hypoglycemia is defined as blood glucose level less than 3.0mmol/L

    Measured: During 5-day intervention

  3. Daily insulin dose

    The daily insulin dose is defined as daily total insulin dose

    Measured: During 5-day intervention

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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?

Time in target glucose range (time frame: During 5-day intervention). 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 NCT04642378, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 16 Apr 2024.
