The Korean TITRATION Study: Comparison of the Self-titration Methods for Glargine-300

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Behavioral: Group 2
Behavioral: Group 1
Registration Number
NCT03406663
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of self-titration algorithm with Gla-300 using the INSIGHT algorithm (once daily by 1 unit) and the EDITION algorithm (once weekly by 3 units) in Korean patients with T2D.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to obtain efficacy and safety descriptive data on two different titration algorithms: the INSIGHT titration algorithm (self-titration of 1 unit/day) and the EDITION trial algorithm with insulin glargine 300 units/mL (GLA-300) when given as basal insulin in uncontrolled T2DM patients on basal insulin with or without non-insulin anti-hyperglycemic agent (NIAHA) or in insulin naïve patients.

In a Korean, single-center, type 2 diabetes patients with basal insulin therapy will be enrolled. They will be randomly assigned to either titration algorithm for GLA-300. After 12 weeks, the glycemic control, patients' satisfaction to the titration methods and healthcare providers' satisfaction to titration methods will be assessed.

Group 2Group 2In group 2, the dose of Gla-300 will be titrated by the patients based on the SMPG values of the last 3 days at least weekly, but no more often than every 3 days to achieve a fasting SMPG in the target range of 4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L (EDITION algorithm). Fasting SMPG (median of the last 3 days including current day) in the range of 1. ≥ 7.8 mmol/L, increase 6 units of Gla-300 dose 2. \> 5.6 and \< 7.8 mmol/L, increase 3 units of Gla-300 dose 3. \> 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change 4. ≥ 3.3 and \< 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose 5. \< 3.3 mmol/L or occurrence of ≥ 2 symptomatic or 1 severe hypoglycemic episode in the preceding week, reduce 3 units of Gla-300 dose or at the discretion of the investigator
Group 1Group 1In group 1, the dose of Gla-300 will be titrated by the patients by 1 unit per day until achieving a fasting SMPG in the target range of 4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L (INSIGHT algorithm). Titration algorithms: Patients will be instructed to daily adjust their dose of Gla-300 based on fasting SMPG values. Fasting SMPG will be measured daily by the patient before breakfast and any intake of antihyperglycemic agents. Fasting SMPG in the range of 1. ≥ 5.6 mmol/L, increase 1 unit of Gla-300 dose 2. \> 4.4 and ≤ 5.6 mmol/L, no change 3. \< 4.4 mmol/L, reduce 1 unit of Gla-300 dose
