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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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 demonstrate the ease of use of the U300 pen injector in pen-naive and insulin-naive type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects in a 4-week once-daily dosing regimen with HOE901-U300.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.
    Background therapy
    Subjects continued their background anti-hyperglycemic treatment during the study except sulfonylureas, glinides and other anti-hyperglycemic agents not approved in combination with Insulin.

    HOE901-U300 (Insulin Glargine 300 U/ml) was self-administered once daily in evening. Subjects were individually up-titrated weekly from dose 0.2 U/kg seeking a fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) in the range of 80 to 100 mg/dL/day (4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L). The injection time was fixed at the baseline visit and was maintained for the duration of the study with +/-1 hour window.

    End point title
    Percentage of Subjects with an Excellent/Good Responses on Ease of Use/Ease of Learning Questionnaires [1]
    End point description
    The questionnaire consists of 8 questions to assess ease of use and 4 questions to assess ease of learning, ease of use in general, overall assessment of the pen, and does the subject recommend the pen. The responses for the first 11 questions were assessed on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (excellent) to 5 (very poor) about how easy it was to learn and use the pen device. The response of last question (Subject’s recommendation of U300 pen injector) was evaluated in the form of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ and % of subjects answering “yes“ were reported . Analysis was performed on safety population, which included all enrolled subjects exposed to at least one dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP).

    Change from Baseline in Total Treatment Satisfaction Score using Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status (DTSQs)
    End point description
    DTSQs is a validated questionnaire designed to measure total diabetes treatment satisfaction and perceived frequency of hyper and hypoglycemia. It consists of 8 questions which are answered on a 7-point Likert scale with responses ranging from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 6 (very satisfied). A total treatment satisfaction score range between 0 and 36 was calculated as the sum of the following single items: Item 1 (current treatment), Item 4 (convenience), Item 5 (flexibility), Item 6 (understanding), Item 7 (recommend), and Item 8 (continue). Analysis was performed on safety population. Number of subjects analysed = subjects with DTSQs assessment at specified time-points.
