Condition(s) targeted: Type 2 Diabetes; Secondary Drug Failure

Intervention: pioglitazone (Drug); insulin glargine (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Skane University Hospital

Summary

Pioglitazone and insulin glargine are equally effective in achieving glycemic control in secondary drug failure of type 2 diabetes but the mechanisms of actions are different.

Clinical Details

Official title: Differences in Metabolic and Cardiovascular Effects of Pioglitazone vs. Insulin Glargine in the Treatment of Secondary Drug Failure in Type 2 Diabetes

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Effect of pioglitazone vs. insulin glargine on beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity

Secondary outcome: Effect of pioglitazone vs. insulin glargine on BNP

Detailed description: The present study was undertaken to assess differences in how insulin glargine vs. pioglitazone affect:

- Beta-cell function as measured by proinsulin/insulin, homeostasis model assessment for

insulin secretion (HOMA β-cell) and glucagon stimulated C-peptide test

- Insulin sensitivity as measured by adiponectin, homeostasis model assessment for

insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin tolerance test and

- Surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease as measured by BNP, NT-pro BNP and plasma

lipid profile as add-on therapy in patients with T2D and secondary drug failure. The patients' satisfaction with each treatment was also surveyed.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 30 Years. Maximum age: 75 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- type 2 diabetes

- inadequately controlled on 50% of maximal-dose of an insulin secretagogue and

metformin Exclusion Criteria:

- heart failure (NYHA II-IV)
