Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Over 12 months: to compare the ability of three different single insulin formulation regimens to achieve good glycaemic control, defined as HbA1C levels ≤6.5 %, when added to current oral anti-diabetic drug (OAD) treatment in subjects with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Over 12 to 36 months: to determine the efficacy and durability of the three different insulin regimens in the longer term and to assess the need for the addition of a second insulin formulation to achieve good glycaemic control.

    To derive an algorithm to estimate individual starting insulin dose requirements and insulin adjustment scales in populations such as this.

    6) Males and females, age ≥18 years.
    7) Body mass index ≤ 40.0 kg/m2.
    8) 7.0 % ≤ HbA1c ≤ 10.0% at screening and based on analysis from the central laboratory.

    10) Able and willing to perform self-monitoring of plasma glucose.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria

    10.Known hypoglycaemia unawareness or recurrent major hypoglycaemia as judged by the Investigator.
    11.Anticipated change in dose of concomitant medication, which may interfere with glucose regulation, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), beta-adrenergic agents, anabolic steroids or systemic glucocorticoids.
    12.Uncontrolled hypertension measured as systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg and / or diastolic pressure ≥ 105 mmHg.
    13.Known or suspected allergy to trial products or related products.
    14.Any condition that the Investigator and / or the Sponsor feel would interfere with trial participation or the evaluation of results.
    15.Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barrier precluding adequate understanding or cooperation.
