About this study

Official title: Effect of an Intensive Insulin Therapy on the Production of LTE4 in Patients With Diabetes

The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of a 3-month intensive insulin therapy on urinary leukotriene E4 (LTE4) excretion in patients with diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Our group has recently reported the results of a preliminary cross-sectional study, which demonstrated that the urinary LTE4 excretion is increased in patients with type 1 diabetes. With regard to recent human genetic studies showing that polymorphisms in the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) promoter and FLAP haplotypes is linked to cardiovascular disease susceptibility our data suggested the potential interest of LTE4 as a non-invasive biomarker of cardiovascular risk. In diabetes mellitus, further studies are required to evaluate the 5-LO pathway after improvement of glucose control and concomitantly with established inflammatory cardiovascular biomarkers.

The secondary objectives are:

Before and after 3-month intensive insulin therapy- Relationship between a marker of platelet activation (urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxan B2 :11-dehydroTXB2) and urinary LTE4- Relationship between inflammatory plasma markers of cardiovascular risk (hs-CRP and fibrinogen) and urinary LTE4- Relationship between a plasma marker of endothelial dysfunction (sICAM-1) and urinary LTE4- Changes in LTE4 according to patient subgroups (patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intensive insulin therapy in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Leucotrienes, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 13 Jun 2008. 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 France. 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.

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?

changes in urinary LTE4 excretion and HbA1c after 3-month intensive insulin therapy versus baseline. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00324792, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 13 Jun 2008.
