About this study

To determine risk factors for atherogenesis in Type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have substantially higher risk for premature atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) than the general population. Risk factors for the development of ASVD have been identified, but linking them to initiation of atherosclerosis was not feasible until recently. Advances in non-invasive imaging now permit early detection of changes in blood vessel function and structure. This imaging provides an opportunity to evaluate risk factors for ASVD and vascular status in a cohort at a critical time for development and early progression of ASVD.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Subjects were enrolled from 1987-1992 and were followed from diabetes diagnosis. Standardized protocols for examinations and interviews were implemented and the data base included a valuable longitudinal plasma bank. Because incident cases were enrolled, information was collected from diagnosis on children, adolescents and young adults currently without symptoms of atherosclerosis. The existing database was expanded, the existing resources were used including the plasma bank, and promising new and well established clinical research techniques were incorporated by: (i) measuring plasma lipid levels on stored plasma and on newly collected blood samples, (ii) measuring triglyceride levels on newly collected blood samples, (iii) measuring urinary albumin excretion rates on newly collected specimens (already measured from diagnosis to date), and (iv) assessing endothelial function by brachial artery ultrasound, (v) measuring the intima medial thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery by ultrasound, and (vi) measuring coronary calcium by computed tomography scanning. These activities allowed pursuit of the following specific aims: 1) to determine the relationship between established risk factors for atherosclerosis and the development of pre-clinical atherosclerosis, 2) to determine the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and carotid IMT, and 3) to determine the relationship between coronary artery calcification and carotid IMT. Such information was critical in directing further efforts toward primary prevention of atherosclerosis in individuals with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00035750, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2016.
