What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

In this phase 4 trial, researchers set out to test Insulin Lispro.

It had two arms (groups): CSII(insulin Lispro)+Vildagliptin (experimental) and CSII(insulin Lispro) (active comparator).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

The registry lists 400 planned participants were the target.

It was open to people of any sex aged from 30 years up to 70 years.

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

Examples of who could join: 30≤ age≤70 years old. BMI 18.0-28.0 Kg/m2. Patients do not use antihyperglycemia drugs. Patients use antihyperglycemia drugs for ≥8 weeks(exclusion of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonist).

The full record lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: congestive heart failure (new york heart association functional classification iii-iv); severe infection in the previous 3 months; severely acute or chronic diabetic complications.

How the Study Was Run

It was run as a randomized, parallel-group and open-label study.

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

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

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

It started in 2018-06-10 with completion listed for 2019-06-10.

It ran at 1 site in China.

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

The main thing measured (primary outcome): blood glucose (time frame: 7 days).

It also tracked 1 secondary outcome, for example hypoglycemia.

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 4, randomized trial of Insulin Lispro in 400 people.

Its status is unknown; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
