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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 compare the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of Toujeo with insulin degludec (Tresiba) in steady state in a euglycemic clamp after 8 days once-daily dosing regimen at 2 dose levels in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) subjects. - To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Toujeo with insulin degludec in steady state in a euglycemic clamp after 8 days once-daily dosing regimen at 2 dose levels in T1DM subjects. – To access safety and tolerability of Toujeo and insulin degludec over 8 days in once-daily dosing regimen at 2 dose levels in T1DM subjects.
    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.

    		 Pharmacodynamics (PD): Fluctuation of the Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR) in Steady State Over the Dosing Interval of 24 Hours (GIR-smFL0-24)
    End point description
    The individual fluctuation of the smoothed GIR 0-24 in steady state (GIR-smFL 0-24) after dosing on Day 8 was reported. It was calculated as the area between the individual smoothed GIR over time curve and the individual average GIR line from investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration on Day 8 until 24 hours after (within-day variability). It was measured by euglycemic clamp procedure in steady state. Analysis was performed on PD population defined as all subjects with no important deviations related to IMP intake and/or PD measurements for whom the PD parameters were available and evaluable. Clamps with less than 85% utility, incorrect dosing or a control deviation of more than 30 mg/dl during first 24 hours were excluded from the main PD analysis. A smoothing factor of 0.15 was used.

Total number of subjects in the analysis was 24 (21 evaluable for T1 and 24 evaluable for R1). Number of treatment ratios available for the analysis is 21.

    End point description
    The amount of glucose required (GIR-AUC) was a measure of insulin-mediated glucose uptake into tissues (glucose disposal or cumulative glucose lowering activity). GIR-AUC0-24 was a measure of area under the GIR over time curve up to 24 hours after dosing or end of clamp in case of premature termination or start of rescue insulin, whatever is earlier. T50%-GIR-AUC0-24 was the time to 50% of GIR-AUC0-24 and GIRmax was the maximum smoothed body weight standardized GIR. Analysis was performed on PD population.
