Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study on the Effect of 2 Pen Devices on HbA1c (NCT NCT00985712)

NCT ID: NCT00985712

Last Updated: 2012-06-04

Results Overview

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin which is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) Mean values were controlled for treatment, visit, treatment\*visit interaction, screening HbA1c (≤9% / \>9%), change of prandial insulin at baseline, and baseline HbA1c.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: Participants in full analysis population set with missing values accounted for using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM).

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin which is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) Mean values were controlled for treatment, visit, treatment\*visit interaction, screening HbA1c (≤9% / \>9%), change of prandial insulin at baseline, and baseline HbA1c.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: Participants in full analysis population set who had Week 24 measurements.

IDSQ is used to evaluate acceptance of study pen. Willingness to continue was assessed by a single question, rated from 1 to 5 (1=Definitely unwilling and 5=Definitely willing). Higher score indicates stronger desire to continue. Least Squares (LS) Mean values were controlled for treatment and baseline score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Week 24

Population: Randomized participants who took at least one dose of study drug with post-baseline hypoglycemia follow-up.

Hypoglycemic episode is defined as blood glucose measurement ≤3.9 millimoles/Liter (mmol/L; 70 milligrams/deciliter \[mg/dL\]). Adjusted rate = number of events in study period, divided by number of days in study period, then multiplied by 30.
