About this study

Official title: Effect of C-Peptide on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, a 6 Months Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose-Finding, Multicenter Study, With Parallel Groups

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of C-peptide administration on nerve function in patients with type 1 diabetes and peripheral sensory neuropathy.

Read the detailed description

It has been observed that C-peptide administration results in an activation of renal tubular and sciatic endoneural Na/K-ATPase of the rat and stimulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The hypothesis is that C-peptide administration may improve peripheral nerve dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy by increasing nerve blood flow and Na/K-ATPase activity. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effect of C-peptide administration on diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes and diabetic neuropathy in the lower extremities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in sensory nerve conduction velocity from baseline to 6 mo of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. - Change in quantitative sensory tests and

  2. neurological impairment assessment from baseline to 6 mo of treatment

  3. - Safety and tolerability of C-peptide

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing C-peptide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetic Polyneuropathy, run by Creative Peptides Sweden Inc. at 1 site in Sweden.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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 19 Jan 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in sensory nerve conduction velocity from baseline to 6 mo of treatment. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jan 2006.
