Study summary

This study evaluated two different starting dose strategies when switching children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300. Participants were randomly assigned to start insulin glargine U-300 either at the same basal insulin dose they had been using or at a 20% higher dose. Continuous glucose monitoring data were used to compare glucose control and hypoglycemia before and after the switch. Participants were also followed to evaluate longer-term changes in glucose control and insulin requirements

Read the detailed description

Insulin glargine U-300 has a more prolonged and stable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile than insulin glargine U-100. However, the optimal initial dose when switching children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes from insulin glargine U-100 to U-300 has not been clearly established.

In this randomized study, participants were assigned to switch from insulin glargine U-100 to U-300 either at the same basal insulin dose or at a 20% higher initial dose. Continuous glucose monitoring data obtained before and after the switch were used to evaluate early changes in glycemic control, including time in range, time above range, and time below range, with particular attention to nighttime glucose control and hypoglycemia.

A subset of participants with adequate continuous glucose monitoring data was also followed at 3 and 6 months to evaluate longer-term glycemic outcomes, insulin requirements, and changes in anthropometric measures.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Same-dose group

    Participants switched from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300 at the same initial basal insulin dose.

    Drug: Insulin glargine U-300

  • Experimental
    20% higher-dose group

    Participants switched from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300 at an initial basal insulin dose 20% higher than their previous insulin glargine U-100 dose.

    Drug: Insulin glargine U-300

Interventions

  • DrugInsulin glargine U-300

    Insulin glargine U-300 was administered once daily as basal insulin. Participants switched from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300 using either the same basal insulin dose or an initial dose 20% higher than their previous U-100 dose, according to randomized group assignment. Subsequent dose adjustments were made according to glycemic control.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Early glycemic outcomes after switching from insulin glargine U-100 to U-300

    Glycemic outcomes were assessed using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data during the 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after switching from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300. CGM metrics included time in range (70-180 mg/dL), time above range (\>180 and \>250 mg/dL), time below range (\<70 and \<54 mg/dL), mean sensor glucose, and coefficient of variation. Early glycemic outcomes were also compared between participants randomized to the same-dose and 20% higher initial dose strategies.

    Time frame: 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after switching from insulin glargine U-100 to U-300

Secondary outcomes

  1. Long-term glycemic outcomes after switching to insulin glargine U-300

    Glycemic control was evaluated at 3 and 6 months after switching from insulin glargine U-100 to insulin glargine U-300 using HbA1c and CGM-derived glycemic metrics, including time in range, time above range, time below range, mean sensor glucose, and coefficient of variation.

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after switching to insulin glargine U-300

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2025 to primary completion in Nov 2025, 6 months.

Of 63 non-industry phase 4 interventional studies under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 43. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 74 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 38.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
