What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

The trial (phase 2) is built around Insulin Glargine.

Impact of combined Lantus (insulin glargine) and Lyxumia(lixisenatide) on insulin secretion and gastric emptying.

It had two arms (groups): Lyxumia (other) and Lantus (other).

4 weeks Luxumia plus another 4 weeks combination.

4 weeks Lantus plus another 4 weeks combination.

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

39 actual participants took part.

It was open to people of any sex aged from 18 years with no upper age limit.

Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.

Examples of who could join: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed at least one year before the screening visit not previously treated with glitazones, insulin or GLP-1 agonists. Inadequately controlled diabetes mellitus.

The full record lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: subjects with type 1 diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young (mody) or secondary forms of diabetes such as due to pancreatitis.

How the Study Was Run

The set-up was randomized, parallel-group and open-label.

Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got Insulin Glargine and who got the comparison, which limits bias.

The Insulin Glargine group and the comparison group ran side by side rather than switching.

Nothing was hidden in this open-label Insulin Glargine study: the participants and staff both knew the treatment.

It started in 2013-12 with completion listed for 2014-10.

It ran at 2 sites in Germany (2).

What Was Measured

Primary outcome: AUCISEC(0-10min) (time frame: Within 0 to 10 min after iv glucose challenge).

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 2, randomized trial of Insulin Glargine in 39 people.

Its size is small, so on its own it can only give an early look.

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