NCT ID: NCT00474838 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Study To Evaluate Beta Cell Function and Glycemic Outcome by Intensive Insulin Therapy

KIIT

Start date: April 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This randomized controlled prospective study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intensive insulin therapy for long term glycemic control and improvement or preservation of beta cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

Interventional studies are often prospective and are specifically tailored to evaluate direct impacts of treatment or preventive measures on disease.

Observational studies are often retrospective and are used to assess potential causation in exposure-outcome relationships and therefore influence preventive methods.

Expanded access is a means by which manufacturers make investigational new drugs available, under certain circumstances, to treat a patient(s) with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a controlled clinical trial.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
