Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of a 4mmx32G Pen Needle for Injection of Basal Insulin Doses Above 40 Units (NCT NCT01334606)

NCT ID: NCT01334606

Last Updated: 2022-03-10

Results Overview

The measure of glycemic control will be the percent difference in FRU assessed at the end of Period 1 compared to FRU assessed at the end of Period 2. The average percent difference in FRU between the Nano and Short pen needles, with the Short as a reference, must be shown to be no more than +/- 20% with 95% confidence. General linear models will be used, adjusting for baseline FRU. This outcome measure was to be determined for the total subject population as well as for the subset of Lantus users.

Since only 3 subjects completed both periods of the crossover study before it was prematurely terminated, the primary endpoint analysis could not be performed. Therefore, no tabulations by intervention were prepared.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 weeks per pen needle

Population: No analysis was performed. The study was terminated due to slow enrollment. The same endpoint was studied and reported in a similar subject population, including Lantus users, in study DBC-11-SQUIR05(NCT01231984)which had a similar design.

The measure of glycemic control will be the percent difference in FRU assessed at the end of Period 1 compared to FRU assessed at the end of Period 2. The average percent difference in FRU between the Nano and Short pen needles, with the Short as a reference, must be shown to be no more than +/- 20% with 95% confidence. General linear models will be used, adjusting for baseline FRU. This outcome measure was to be determined for the total subject population as well as for the subset of Lantus users.
