What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

The trial (phase 1) is built around Insulin Glargine.

This trial is conducted in Europe.

It had seven arms (groups): one (experimental), one (experimental), one (experimental), one (experimental) and one (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

84 actual participants took part.

It was open to men only aged from 18 years up to 55 years.

Healthy volunteers could join, not only people with the condition.

Examples of who could join: Body mass index 18.0-28.0 kg/m\^2.

The full record lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial products or related products; previous participation in this trial. participation is defined as randomised; any chronic disorder or severe disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardise subject's safety or compliance with the protocol.

How the Study Was Run

It was run as a randomized, parallel-group and double-blind study.

The participants were allocated by chance, so the Insulin Glargine group and the comparison group should start out alike.

Groups ran in parallel: each of the participants stayed in one arm throughout.

Neither the participants nor the staff measuring them knew who was on Insulin Glargine, so expectations could not easily colour the readings.

Those kept unaware of assignments: participant and investigator.

It started in 2013-03-04 with completion listed for 2013-09-06.

It ran at 1 site in Germany.

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

Primary outcome: Number of adverse events (AEs).

It also tracked 2 secondary outcomes, for example Area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve and Area under the glucose infusion rate (GIR)-time curve.

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 1, randomized trial of Insulin Glargine in 84 people.

The trial is marked completed; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
