Efficacy and Safety of Inhaled Pre-prandial Human Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Novo Nordisk
Information provided by:	Novo Nordisk
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00348712

Purpose

This trial is conducted in Europe.

The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy of adding inhaled preprandial insulin to metformin compared to adding rosiglitazone to metformin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and to verify its safety (hypoglycaemia, pulmonary function, body weight, insulin antibodies and side effects).

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: A	Drug: inhaled human insulin Treat-to-target dose titration scheme, inhalation. Other Name: NN1998 Drug: metformin Tablets, 2000 mg/day.
Active Comparator: B	Drug: rosiglitazone Tablets, 4 mg once or twice daily. Drug: metformin Tablets, 2000 mg/day.

Detailed Description:

The decision to discontinue the development of AERx® is not due to any safety concerns. An analysis concluded that fast-acting inhaled insulin in the form it is known today, is unlikely to offer significant clinical or convenience benefits over injections of modern insulin with pen devices.
