A Clinical Trial Comparing The Efficacy And Safety Of 2 Different Initial Dose Prescriptions For Exubera.

April 13, 2009 updated by: Pfizer

A 16 Week Open-Label Outpatient, Randomized, Parallel Study Assessing The Impact Of Two Different Initial Dose Prescriptions For Dry Powder Inhaled Insulin (Exubera®) On Glycemic Control In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Are Poorly Controlled On A Combination Of Two Or More Oral Agents.

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a simple initial dose prescription of inhaled insulin (Exubera) achieves glycemic control (HbA1c) after 16 weeks that is non-inferior compared to the standard weight-based formula.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in HbA1c From Baseline
Time Frame: From baseline to week 16
Mean change of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c %) from baseline to week 16
From baseline to week 16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fasting Plasma Glucose, and Overall Absolute, Pre-meal, and Post-meal Blood Glucose Change From Baseline to Week 16 (LOCF)
Time Frame: From baseline to week 16
Mean change of fasting plasma glucose, and overall absolute (based on the mean of 7-point home blood glucose monitoring (HGM) values), pre- and post-meal blood glucose (based on the mean of pre- or post-meal HGM values). Change from pre- to post-meal blood glucose based on the mean of difference of pre-meal HGM values from post-meal HGM values.
From baseline to week 16
Number of Subjects Who Experienced Hypoglycemia and Nocturnal Hypoglycemia
Time Frame: week 16
Cumulative Number Subjects Who Experienced Hypoglycemia & Nocturnal Hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia:1)Clinical picture includes prompt resolution with food intake, subcutaneous glucagon, or intravenous glucose, 2)blood glucose check showing glucose <3.27 mmol/L (59 mg/dl), 3)glucose measurement of 2.7 mmol/L (49 mg/dl) or less, with or without symptoms.
week 16
Hypoglycemia Event Rate Per Month
Time Frame: up to week 4 or 16
Monthly event rate was calculated as the daily event rate multiplied by 30, and the daily event rate was calculated as the total number of events divided by the days in study up to the specified timepoint (ie, Week 4 or Week 16).
up to week 4 or 16
