About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Glycemic Control in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes When Switching to Insulin Degludec: a Retrospective Study

Retrospective multicenter study analyzing data gathered from medical records and diabetes management platforms to assess the effect of using Insulin Degludec (Tresiba®) on measures of diabetes control.

People with type 1 diabetes who switched to Insulin Degludec from another basal insulin between 1/5/2019 and 1/6/2021 will be included.

Glycemic control from 12 months before the switch to Insulin Degludec will be compared to glycemic control of the 12 months after the switch.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time in range

    the change in time in range (TIR: 70-180 mg/dL, averaged per month) over 24 hours between 12 (±2) months before switch to 12 (±2) months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. HbA1c

    difference in HbA1c between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Time below 54 mg/dL

    difference in time in clinically significant hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Time in range

    difference in TIR (70-180 mg/dL, averaged per month) from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Time below 70 mg/dL

    difference in time below range (<70 mg/dL averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Time above 180 mg/dL

    difference in time above range (>180 mg/dL averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Time above 250 mg/dL

    difference in time in significant hyperglycemia (>250 mg/dL averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Mean glucose

    difference in mean glucose (averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Glycemic variability

    difference in glycemic variability (standard deviation, coefficient of variation; averaged per month) over 24 hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, and from 10 pm to 6 am between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Insulin dose

    difference in insulin dose (total daily dose, basal dose, bolus dose) between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

  10. Body mass index

    difference in body mass index (BMI) between 12 [±2] months before switch to 12 [±2] months after switch to Insulin Degludec

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes, run by prof dr Pieter Gillard at 2 sites in Belgium.

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 9 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 21 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. 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 range (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT05434559, 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 21 Dec 2022.
