32-week, multicentre, open, randomised, two-way cross-over, clinical trial comparing insulin glargine (HOE 901) in combination with insulin lispro and neutral protamine Hagedorn in combination with regular human insulin in subjects with type one diabetes mellitus on a meal-time and basal insulin regimen
ISRCTN ISRCTN83582782
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title 32-week, multicentre, open, randomised, two-way cross-over, clinical trial comparing insulin glargine (HOE 901) in combination with insulin lispro and neutral protamine Hagedorn in combination with regular human insulin in subjects with type one diabetes mellitus on a meal-time and basal insulin regimen
Scientific title
Acronym The Home Study
Serial number at source HOE 901/4006
Study hypothesis Insulin glargine plus insulin lispro improves blood glucose control in people with type one diabetes as assessed by HbA1c compared to Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin plus unmodified human insulin.
Ethics approval Approval received from local Multicentre Research Ethics Committee (MREC) in December 2000 (ref: 0/3/56).
Study design Open, randomised, two-way cross-over trial
Countries of recruitment United Kingdom
Disease/condition/study domain Type one diabetes mellitus
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Men and women, aged 18 to 65 years
2. Type one diabetes mellitus as shown by C-peptide deficient status (less than 0.10 nmol/L when plasma glucose is greater than 4.5 mmol/L)
3. More than one year on a daily multiple insulin injection regimen
4. Experience in Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG), interpretation of SMBG results and insulin dose adjustments
5. HbA1c greater than 7.0% and less than 9.5% at visit one
6. Willingness to actively adjust the insulin doses in order to achieve the target blood glucose levels and to perform SMBG profiles using the Accutrend Sensor Complete on a regular basis as specified in the study protocol
7. Women of childbearing potential are to be using adequate contraceptive protection
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. Treatment with blood-glucose-lowering drugs other than insulin in the last eight weeks before screening visit (visit one)
2. Use of an investigational drug other than insulin in the last six months before study entry, or use of an investigational insulin in the last four weeks before study entry
3. Diabetic retinopathy with surgical treatment (laser photocoagulation or vitrectomy) in the three months before study entry or which may require surgical treatment within three months of study entry as evidenced by retino-screening within the last 12 months
4. History of repeated severe hypoglycaemia with unconsciousness within the last two years
5. Night shift workers
6. Pancreatectomised subjects
7. Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine, or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
8. History of drug or alcohol abuse
9. Pregnant (as determined by pregnancy blood test at visit one) or breast-feeding women
10. Impaired hepatic function, as shown by but not limited to Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) (ALanine AminoTransferase
[ALAT]) or Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) (ASpartate AminoTransferase [ASAT]) above 2 x the upper limit of normal measured at visit one
11. Impaired renal function, as shown by but not limited to serum creatinine greater than 177 µmol/L (greater than 2.0 mg/dL) measured at visit one
12. Mental condition rendering the subject unable to understand the nature, scope and possible consequences of the study
13. Evidence of an uncooperative attitude
14. Inability to attend clinical visits
15. Known employee of sanofi-aventis
