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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To explore the hypothesis that use of insulin Detemir vs. insulin Glargine will lead to reduced weight gain in young women with Type 1 Diabetes.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Informed consent/assent was obtained for all participants. Where participant were under 16, parental consent was obtained in addition to participants assent. Adverse events were recorded at each visit during the trial. All subjects were allocated a unique Study ID number based on their specific site and sequence of recruitment, which was translated into a barcode used for all subsequent correspondence, transfer of samples and data input. Confidential data has been retained at the study sites in a secure study file. At all times the confidentiality of the subjects was maintained, and reports to meetings and publications did not include confidential or data identifying individuals.
    Background therapy
    N/A
    Evidence for comparator
    Intensification of insulin therapy through a traditional basal bolus regime in young women with T1D may increase weight gain and rates of hypoglycaemia and induce ovarian hyperandrogenism secondary to peripheral hyperinsulinaemia. Particularly in young women, fear of inappropriate weight gain may impede compliance with treatment and contribute to increased risks of microvascular complications. Incorporation of insulin detemir as part of a basal bolus regime may reduce weight gain thereby improving compliance in this vulnerable population. Preferential hepatic uptake by insulin detemir may lead to relative reductions in peripheral insulin concentrations with subsequent effects on ovarian hyperandrogenism.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    First participant was recruited 11/04/2008. Last participant was recruited 10/12/2015. Recruitment was carried out at 25 sites in the UK.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Participants, on a basal bolus regimen, were recruited from paediatric and young adult diabetes clinics. Of the 97 consented to the study, 4 withdrew prior to randomisation. Of those randomised: 46 were allocated to Insulin Detemir and 47 to Insulin Glargine.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The baseline data counted all subjects who consented to the study (n=97). 4 participants withdrew prior to randomisation and are therefore not counted in the enrolled numbers which were based on those randomised (n=93)

    Protocol V7 – First working protocol Approved by MREC - 26/10/07
    30 May 2008
    Protocol V8 - Addition of new prefilled device for injection of Glargine. Approved by MREC 04/06/2008
    04 Feb 2009
    Protocol V9 - Addition of new sites. Approved by MREC 16/02/09
    01 May 2009
    Protocol version 10 - amended to no longer collect blood for HbA1c for central analysis. Correction of serum IGF1, IGFBP-3 instead of plasma. Removal of specifically named measure for waist circumferences. Addition of new sites plus removal of 2 sites. Re-submitted to MREC as Protocol 10.1
    18 Jun 2009
    Protocol version 10.1 - Revised inclusion criteria - HbA1c increased to =/<12%. Approved by MREC 15/06/09
    10 Dec 2009
    Protocol version 11 - Revision to eligibility criteria. The protocol has therefore been amended to facilitate recruitment and include girls who are in late puberty but have not yet attained menarche. Study timeline revised. List of participating sites was updated. Approved by MREC 02/12/09
    20 Apr 2010
    Protocol V12 - revised to include additional information stating what will happen in the event of a positive pregnancy test. Approved by MREC 30/03/2010
    08 Oct 2010
    Protocol version 13 - protocol revised to update study timeline, extending recruitment. Update of the list of participating centres. References to the measurement of HbA1c will allow for the change from % to mmol/mol which was coming into effect. The possibility of combining screening (randomisation) and baseline visits into one visit has been allowed for. The use of finger prick HbA1c measurement by some sites means that there is no longer a delay in assessing HbA1c eligibility criteria. The label template for the study drugs has been amended to include the text 'For Clinical Trial Use Only' Approved by MREC 28/09/2010

    Protocol V14 - Revision of Protocol This includes the following:- •Text has been amended to allow for the use of email as well as, or instead of, telephone contact. Introduction of an email contact sheet •List of study sites has been updated – •Method of reporting HbA1C has been changed from DCCT to IFFC in line with recent changes. •Removal of Barry Widmer as Data manager (now left). •Change of text (from in to by) to allow for the possibility of future archiving being off site rather than within the department. • A Protocol section has been created to include information about sponsorship, finance and insurance. •Participant information sheets have been amendment to allow for email as a method of contact. •Consent and Assent forms have been updated to reflect changes to the information sheets. •Once participants have completed the study we would like to thank them for their help. We propose to send out a thank you letter and certificate of achievement. • We propose to send out a letter to participants GPs notifying them that they have now finished the study. Submitted to MREC only
    25 Feb 2013
    Protocol V15 - Revision of Protocol. This includes the following: •Text amended throughout the protocol to allow for the exclusion of DEXA scan in centres where access is not available to appropriate facilities and /or software (paediatric) •Participant information sheets amended to allow for the exclusion of DEXA scans •Consent and Assent forms updated to reflect changes to the information sheets •Wording for consent forms amended in Clause 3 so there is uniformity across the forms and in line with ethical recommendations •Minor typo corrections – Primarily BMI SDS minimisation altered from ≤2.5 to < or ≥ 1, and > sign for other minimisation criteria corrected to ≥ •Dr Rachel Williams’ role as Co-ordinating Investigator has been recognised •Study time line extended. Submitted to MREC only
    02 Jun 2014
    Protocol 16 - •In accordance with the protocol, a Data Monitoring committee has been convened and details listed in the appendix •Detail of a proposed Interim analysis •The list of study sites has been amended and updated •Typo correction to Power Calculation on Page 23 •Clarification that NOVO Nordisk will only be notified of SADR’s relating to their product (Detemir) • Appetite assessment forms will only be done at 3,6,9 & 12 month visits, Submitted to MREC only.
    25 Apr 2016
