About this study

Official title: Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University

The effects of Tirzepatide and Insulin Glargine on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Effects of Tirzepatide on the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment in diabetic patients and its associated pattern of changes in brain neural network characteristics.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Tirzepatide and Insulin Glargine on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, this study will evaluate the effects of Tirzepatide on the development of cognitive impairment and its associated pattern of changes in neural network characteristics in diabetic patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tirzepatide and Insulin Glargine in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2022. 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.

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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jianhua Ma, Doctor (+862552887091 ext. +8618951670116, majianhua196503@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

blood sugar changes (time frame: 40 weeks). 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?
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 23 Sep 2022.
