NCT00552370

Brief Summary

To compare the frequency of severe hypoglycemia events for 5 dosing algorithms of Lantus®, each of varying intensity and defined by their end-of -study target for self monitored plasma glucose(SMPG), in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with inadequate glycemic control (A1C greater than or equal to 7.0%) on oral antidiabetic drug therapy(OAD).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the frequency of severe hypoglycemia events for 5 dosing algorithms of Lantus®, each of varying intensity and defined by their end-of-study target for self monitored blood glucose (SMBG).

    From the start to the end of the study

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To compare the number of subjects whose final A1c is <7.0% at the end of the study for the 5 dosing algorithms.

    From the start to the end of the study

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects must give their signed informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of Type 2 DM for at least 6 months.
  • Males and females greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
  • A1c greater than or equal to 7.0%.
  • Current (last 2 months) diabetes therapy with oral anti-hyperglycemia agents only.
  • Demonstrated willingness and ability to inject insulin glargine.
  • Able to understand and willing to comply with procedures required by the protocol and have access to a phone.
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to perform self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and use of the algorithm calculator (AL-CAL).
  • BMI greater than 25.0 kg/m2.
  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, should be initiated on insulin therapy.

You may not qualify if:

  • Cardiac status New York Heart Association (NYHA) III-IV (Appendix A).
  • For subjects treated with metformin (Glucophager, Glucophage XRr, Glucovancer, Metaglipr , or Avandametr) plus a serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL (133 μmol/L) for males or greater than 1.4 mg/dL (124 μmoL) for females, the inability or unwillingness to discontinue these medications, and to remain off them through the entire study.
  • For subjects on thiazolidinediones, the inability or unwillingness to discontinue these medications and to remain off them through the entire study.
  • Planned pregnancy, pregnancy, or lactation.
  • Serum creatinine greater than 3.0 mg/dL (266 μmol/L).
  • Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) greater than 2.5 x the upper limit of normal range.
  • Any current malignancy or cancer within the past 5 years (except adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ).
  • Diagnosis of dementia or mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study.
  • Hypersensitivity to Lantus® insulin or any of its components.
  • Any disease or condition, including the abuse of illicit drugs, prescription medicines, or alcohol that, in opinion of the sponsor/investigator, may interfere with the completion of the study.
  • Current (last 2 months) insulin therapy.
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
