研究概览
简要总结
This is a subject partially blinded, block randomized, prospective, single-visit, multi-center study to compare user experiences with BD Nano™ PRO pen needle vs. three (3) thinner commercially available comparator pen needles (Artsana Insupen Extr3me 33G, Artsana Insupen Extr3me 34G and the Simple Diagnostics Comfort EZ™ 33G Pen Needles). The study will include up to 146 study subjects having Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
详细描述
The study will consist of one 60 to 120 minute visit in which pre-set doses of saline will be abdominally delivered by Subjects via a reusable insulin pen device. All pen needles will be attached by study staff. The pen needle outer cover and inner shield will be removed prior to subject use so that they will not be able to identify which device they are using. Subjects are to perform 12 injections into the abdomen (6 pairs of injections). Pairs of injections will be evaluated and each pair will contain one BD Nano™ PRO and one comparator pen needle. Within the 12 injections, each comparator will be injected twice, therefore each subject will experience 2 of each of the following pairs:
BD Nano™ PRO pen needle vs Artsana Insupen Extr3me 4mm x 33G x 2 BD Nano™ PRO pen needle vs Artsana Insupen Extr3me 3.5mm x 34G x 2 BD Nano™ PRO pen needle vs Simple Diagnostics Comfort EZ™ 4mm x 33G Each Subject will evaluate pain after completion of each pair of injections using a 15 cm relative Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

入选标准
- •Adults 18 to 75 years of age (inclusive)
- •Diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
- •Self-injecting using an injection pen for ≥3 months with any pen needle
- •Injecting a minimum of ≥10 units of insulin and/or Victoza at least once per day
- •Able to demonstrate proficiency using an injection pen into an injection model
- •Able and willing to provide informed consent
- •Able and willing to complete all study procedures
排除标准
- •a. Not self-injecting (example, injections completed by a family member) b. Self-injecting with a pen injector for less than 3 months c. Unwilling to inject into abdomen d. Unwilling to have hair at the injection area reduced with an electric razor if it is determined the hair will interfere with leakage evaluation e. Failure to confirm which pen needle (gauge and needle length) subject is currently using. To confirm, subject may be asked to bring their pen and pen needles to the site or site staff may confirm via medical record or pharmacy.
- •f. Pregnant (self-attestation) g. Currently taking anti-platelet or anticoagulant therapy (up to 162 mg per day of aspirin is permitted).
- •h. History of a bleeding disorder i. History of recurrent dermatological conditions or skin disorder (e.g., psoriasis, eczema) j. Gross skin anomalies and abnormalities located at or very close to the injection sites that would significantly limit available injection space.
- •k. History of symptomatic low blood pressure or history of fainting (syncope) during hypodermic injections l. Use of any analgesic medications (prescription or OTC) within 24 hours of first study injection, and during the study (up to 162 mg per day of aspirin is permitted).
- •m. A current or previous medical or physical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at risk or make them unable to perform study procedures or has the potential to confound interpretation of the study results n. Currently participating in another pen needle study o. Employed by, or currently serving as a contractor or consultant to BD or any diabetes injectable medication, injection pen, or pen needle manufacturer
结局指标
主要结局
Injection Site Pain for BD Nano PRO Needle Compared to Each of Three (3) Commercially Available Comparators
时间窗: Scores were collected immediately after each paired injection
Injection pain as measured by a relative visual analog scale. This endpoint analyzes data for individual groups. User preference is assessed through a single question reported on a 150mm relative VAS scale with the BD Nano™ PRO pen needle Pen labeled at +75 mm and the Comparator pen needle labeled at -75mm. On this scale, zero represents no preference to either pen needle. Relative VAS scores range from -75mm to 75mm; positive scores reflect preference forBD Nano™ PRO and negative scores reflect preference for the comparator. Scores from each of the paired injections (308 pairs for all participants) were pooled and a mean was calculated. The two-sided 95% confidence interval was calcuated for the average relative rating. A linear model was used to adjust for the order effect. If the lower bound of the 95% CI is \> -10cm, non-inferiority could be concluded. If the lower bound of the 95% CI is \>0, superiority can also be concluded.
次要结局
- Needle Bending in BD Nano™ PRO vs Each of 3 Comparator Pen Needles(Scores were collected immediately after each paired injection)
- Superiority of BD Nano™ PRO vs Each of 3 Comparator Pen Needles (Leakage)(Leakage was measured directly after each injection)
- Compare BD Nano™ PRO vs Each of 3 Comparator Pen Needles (Force)(Immediately after injection Pair)
