Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Nasulin Versus Placebo on Blood Glucose Control in Patient Volunteers With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (NCT NCT00850096)

NCT ID: NCT00850096

Last Updated: 2013-12-13

Results Overview

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients receiving either Nasulin or placebo were collected and compared at baseline and the last two weeks of the study, and changes (week 5-6 minus baseline) in the mean percentage of time spend in euglycemia (70 to 180 mg/dl blood glucose) (MPTEU) were assessed from baseline Week 0 to Week 5-6.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 5-6 weeks

Population: 47 patients were randomized to the placebo/oral antidiabetic arm while 47 others were randomized to the Nasulin/oral antidiabetic arm of the study. Forty-four patients in the placebo + oral antidiabetic arm and 45 patients in the Nasulin + oral antidiabetic arm completed the study.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients receiving either Nasulin or placebo were collected and compared at baseline and the last two weeks of the study, and changes (week 5-6 minus baseline) in the mean percentage of time spend in euglycemia (70 to 180 mg/dl blood glucose) (MPTEU) were assessed from baseline Week 0 to Week 5-6.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5-6 weeks

Population: 47 patients were randomized to the placebo/oral antidiabetic arm while 47 others were randomized to the Nasulin/oral antidiabetic arm of the study. Forty-four patients in the placebo + oral antidiabetic arm and 45 patients in the Nasulin + oral antidiabetic arm completed the study.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients at the last weeks of study (week 5-6) were averaged for assessment of glycemic control under the treatment of either Nasulin or placebo.
