Purpose

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA).

This trial will compare the changes in HbA1c after 26 weeks of inhaled insulin and pioglitazone combination therapy versus pioglitazone treatment alone.

Primary Outcome Measures:

HbA1c change from baseline [ Time Frame: After 26 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Fasting plasma glucose [ Time Frame: after 26 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
lipid profiles [ Time Frame: after 26 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes [ Time Frame: after 26 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
glucose profiles [ Time Frame: at pre- and post meals, bedtime and 3:00 am ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in body weight [ Time Frame: after 26 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	196
Study Start Date:	December 2006
Study Completion Date:	March 2008
Primary Completion Date:	March 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
A: Experimental	Drug: pioglitazone Tablets, 45 mg/day. Drug: inhaled human insulin Treat-to-target dose titration scheme, inhalation.
B: Active Comparator	Drug: pioglitazone Tablets, 45 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.
