Insulin Glulisine in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of a single injection of glulisine before the main meal added to insulin glargine plus oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) compared to insulin glargine plus OADs in Type 2 diabetic patients poorly controlled with basal insulin plus OADs.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresPatients With Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Value < 7% [Time Frame: at the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) is a biological parameter that reflects the blood glucose concentration over a long period of time. It is the standard parameter for glycemic control follow -up in diabetic patients. this parameter is expressed in percentage (%) and the target in diabetes management is to reach a HbA1c <7%
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Value [Time Frame: at the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Value [Time Frame: from baseline to the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Daily Mean Plasma Glucose [Time Frame: at the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Change in Daily Mean Plasma Glucose [Time Frame: from baseline to the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Change in Weight [Time Frame: from baseline to the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Daily Dose of Insulin Glargine [Time Frame: at the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]Mean of 3 daily doses reported during the week prior to the final visit
  • Daily Dose of Insulin Glulisine [Time Frame: at the end of treatment (week 24)] [Designated as safety issue: No]Mean of 3 daily doses reported during the week prior to the final visit
  • Rate of Symptomatic Hypoglycemia With Plasma Glucose < 70mg/dL [Time Frame: during treatment period (12 weeks)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Rate of Nocturnal Symptomatic Hypoglycemia With Plasma Glucose < 70mg/dL [Time Frame: during treatment period (12 weeks)] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Rate of Severe Symptomatic Hypoglycemia [Time Frame: during treatment period (12 weeks)] [Designated as safety issue: No]

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

- 25 < BMI < 45 kg/m²

- 7,5% < HbA1c < 9%

- Treated with a basal insulin (NPH, Insulin Zinc, Insulin glargine or Insulin
detemir), and at least 1g metformin daily, for more than 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

- Type 1 diabetes mellitus

- Treatment with OADs only

- Treatment with thiazolidinediones, with exenatide or with pramlintide

fast-acting insulin analogue)

- Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy,

- Pregnancy (women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at
study entry and effective contraception)

- Breast-feeding

- History of hypersensitivity to the study drugs or to drugs with a similar chemical
structure.

- Treatment with systemic corticosteroids in the 3 months prior to study entry

- Treatment with any investigational product in the 2 months prior to study entry

- Previous treatment with insulin glulisine

- Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by
the clinical study protocol

- Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine, or other major
disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results
difficult

- Impaired hepatic function

- Impaired renal function

- History of drug or alcohol abuse
