A 2-week, Randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Two-group Parallel, Multi-centre Trial Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Detemir Plus Insulin Aspart and NPH Insulin Plus Human Soluble Insulin Both in a Basal Bolus Regimen With or Without Metformin in Chinese Inpatients With Type 2 Diabetes Currently Treated With Insulin Qualifying for Intensified Treatment
Abstract
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to compare efficacy and safety of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart and NPH insulin plus human soluble insulin both in a basal bolus regimen with or without metformin in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
The trial adopts a group sequential design, where the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed at the interim analysis, in addition to the final formal analysis. The decision to continue or stop the trial will be based on the result of the interim analysis.
Conditions: Diabetes, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Mean 8-point Plasma Glucose (PG) After Two Weeks of Treatment.
Enrollment: 58 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 58 participants or records.
