This study was performed to compare the insulin glargine produced by two different manufacturers. The study determines the efficacy and safety of a new insulin glargine (Basalog®) having the same amino-acid sequence as Lantus® in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus on multiple daily insulin regimen. After a run-in period of 4 weeks on once-daily Lantus®, patients were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive once-daily treatment with either Basalog® (n=107) or Lantus® (n=108) for 12 weeks in this open-label multicenter study. Patients were enrolled from 15 hospitals in India. Change in HbA1c was the primary efficacy parameter; FPG, 7-point glucose profile and PPG were the secondary efficacy parameters. Hypoglycemia and immunogenicity were the main safety parameters. This was a non-inferiority study where non-inferiority could be claimed if mean difference (including 95% CI) was less than or equal to 0.5% for the primary efficacy parameter
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
