Follow-Up Study for Exubera

In studies of Exubera in persons with diabetes, lung cancer occurred in a few more people who were taking Exubera than in people who were taking other diabetes medicines. All subjects diagnosed with lung cancer had a history of smoking and the number of lung cancer cases observed fell within the expected range based on population-based data. There is currently not enough information to determine if any of the observed lung cancer cases were related to Exubera use, therefore, the study is being conducted to further investigate whether Exubera use makes the appearance of lung cancer more likely.

About this study

Both retrospective and prospective components All subjects who participated in one of the 17 included Exubera clinical trials will be invited to participate in the current study.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Previously participated in an eligible Exubera clinical trial
  • Willing to provide study doctor with at least one alternate contact person

Exclusion criteria

  • Participated in an investigational study of an unapproved drug since completing the Exubera trial
  • Ever used an other (non-Exubera) inhaled insulin

Treatment and study plan

Exubera

Drug

Subjects who had been treated with Exubera in a prior Exubera controlled trial. Following initial use of randomized treatment, physicians and subjects were free to change regimens and dosing based on subject response to assigned treatment (as consistent with routine practice).

Randomized diabetes therapy

Other

Subjects who had been treated with a comparator (other diabetes treatment including one or more of: subcutaneous insulin, sulfonylureas, biguanides, or thiazolinediones) in a prior Exubera controlled trial.

Following initial use of randomized treatment, physicians and subjects were free to change regimens and dosing based on subject response to assigned treatment (as consistent with routine practice).

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Primary Lung Cancer Mortality

    Time frame: Baseline from original trial up to Year 2 of this study

    Reported deaths from primary lung cancer were adjudicated and classified into 4 categories: highly likely (clinical, radiographic, and/or histological data consistent with primary lung cancer); likely (some information may have been missing for definite diagnosis); unlikely; insufficient information. Highly likely and likely cases used to report rate and rate ratio of primary lung cancer mortality. Includes events from the start of the original trial to the end of FUSE.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of Primary Lung Cancer Mortality Among Former Smokers

    Time frame: Baseline from original trial up to Year 2 of this study

    Reported deaths from primary lung cancer were adjudicated and classified into 4 categories: highly likely (clinical, radiographic, and/or histological data consistent with primary lung cancer); likely (some information may have been missing for definite diagnosis); unlikely; insufficient information. Highly likely and likely cases used to report rate and rate ratio of primary lung cancer mortality. Includes events from the start of the original trial to the end of FUSE.

  2. Rate of All-cause Mortality

    Time frame: Baseline from original trial up to Year 2 of this study

    The rate and rate ratio of all-cause mortality that occurred anytime from the start of the original trial to the end of FUSE.

  3. Rate of Primary Lung Cancer Diagnosis

    Time frame: Baseline from original trial up to Year 2 of this study

    The rate and rate ratio of lung cancer adjudicated as highly likely (clinical, radiographic, and/or histological data consistent with primary lung cancer) or likely (some information may have been missing for definite diagnosis) to be newly diagnosed primary lung cancer that occurred anytime from the start of the original trial to the end of FUSE.
