Toujeo Versus NPH Self-titration Study

August 2, 2021 updated by: Elaine Chow

A Pilot Study to Describe the Glycaemic Variability of Insulin Glargine 300U/ml Versus NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) in the Insulin-naïve Type 2 Diabetes Patients Following a Patient-adjusted Insulin Algorithm in Hong Kong

This is a 24 week, multicentre, prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-designed (1:1) pilot study.The study will compare glycemic variability in patients treated with insulin glargine U300/ml insulin versus conventional (NPH) insulin using a self titration algorithm.50 type 2 diabetes patients who are newly started on insulin will be recruited. They will be randomly allocated to either insulin glargine U300 or NPH insulin for 26 weeks. All subjects will follow a insulin-self titration algorithm. The study will consist of 9 visits over 26 weeks. Blood glucose variability will be collected by CGM for 7 consecutive days at baseline (week -1) and at week 24.Secondary endpoints other than data on glycemic variability, including HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, inflammatory markers will be measured during three periods (week 0, week 12 and week 24).

Study Overview

Status

Status

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.

Study Type

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
