Chronic Reduction of Fasting Gylcaemia With Insulin Glargine Improves First and Second Phase Insulin Secretion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Glucose-induced insulin secretion is often diminished in hyperglycaemic patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators examined, whether chronic basal insulin treatment with insulin glargine lead to improvements in glucose-induced insulin secretion.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

14 patients with type 2 diabetes on previous metformin therapy were examined before and after eight weeks of treatment with insulin glargine, aimed to normalize fasting glycaemia. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed with and without previous adjustment of fasting glucose levels by means of a 3-hour intravenous insulin infusion.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age between 18 and 75 years, inclusive
  2. BMI-range 27-50 kg/m²
  3. patients with type 2 diabetes presenting with fasting hyperglycaemia (>126mg/dl) on metformin treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

1.Pre-existing insulin therapy, treatment with sulphonylureas, glitazones, 2.glinides, DPP-4-inhibitors or exenatide 3.patients with type 1 diabetes 4.Patients are investigator site personnel directly affiliated with the study, or are immediate family of investigator site personnel directly affiliated with the study. Immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child, or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted.

5. Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or are not using adequate contraceptive methods (adequate contraceptive measures include sterilisation, hormonal intrauterine devices, oral contraceptives, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner). A male subject who is sexually active and has not been surgically sterilised must be informed that he must either use a condom during intercourse, ensure that his partner practices contraception, or he must refrain from sexual intercourse during the trial and until 1 month after completion of the trial. This is to prevent the possibility of a pregnancy from spermatocytes that can potentially be damaged by trial medication. It is strongly recommended that the female partners use a highly effective contraception (Pearl Index < 1%).

6. Patients have participated in an interventional medical, surgical, or pharmaceutical study (a study in which an experimental, drug, medical, or surgical treatment was given) within 30 days prior to screening. This criterion includes drugs that have not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry.

7. Patients have alcohol consumption (>20 g daily for males and >10 g daily for females) 8. Patients have alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) greater than ten times the upper limit of the reference range.

9.Patients are undergoing therapy for a malignancy, other than basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer.

10. Patients have cardiac disease that is Class III or IV, according to the New York Heart Association criteria.

11. Patients have a history of renal transplantation or are currently receiving renal dialysis or have serum creatinine >1.8 mg/dL for males and greater than or equal to >1.5 mg/dL for females. 12.Patients have known hemoglobinopathy or chronic anemia 13.Patients are receiving chronic (lasting longer than 2 weeks) systemic glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical and inhaled preparations) or have received such therapy within 2 weeks immediately prior to screening.

14. Patients have any other condition (including known drug or alcohol abuse or psychiatric disorder) that precludes them from following and completing the protocol, in the opinion of the investigator.

15. Patients fail to satisfy the investigator of suitability to participate for any other reason.
