Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Observational Study Evaluating SYMLIN® (Pramlintide Acetate) Injection Use in Insulin Using Patients With Type 2 and Type 1 Diabetes (NCT NCT00229658)

NCT ID: NCT00229658

Last Updated: 2015-03-25

Results Overview

PASH is defined as episodes of hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another individual (including aid in ingestion of oral carbohydrate); and/or requiring the administration of glucagon injection, intravenous glucose, or other medical intervention. The adjustment period represents the initial 0-3 months of pramlintide treatment

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0-3 months

Population: Intent-to-Treat

The annual event rate was calculated as the total number of events during the time period divided by the total years of exposure to pramlintide for all patients during the time period. The adjustment period represents the initial 0-3 months of pramlintide treatment. PASH is defined as episodes of hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another individual (including aid in ingestion of oral carbohydrate); and/or requiring the administration of glucagon injection, intravenous glucose, or other medical intervention.
