Trial summary

This protocol is for study of the effect of inhibition of parasympathetic outflow on insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Insulin secretion will be measured during infusions of escalating doses of atropine. Other clinical parameters of parasympathetic inhibition by atropine will also be assessed.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 7 to 10 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Group 1: Offspring of mothers with diabetes during pregnancy.
  • Maternal diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (by WHO criteria after a 75g OGTT or on clinical grounds with at least one random plasma glucose greater than 200mg/dl) before or during the index pregnancy.
  • Group 2: Offspring of mothers with diabetes diagnosed following pregnancy.
  • Maternal diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (by WHO criteria after a 75g OGTT or on clinical grounds with at least one random plasma glucose greater than 200 mg/dl) after the index pregnancy.
  • It is important to also ensure that these mothers did not have any major disturbance in glucose tolerance during the index pregnancy and a record of normal glucose tolerance after the index pregnancy; therefore they will only be included if there are also:
  • Adequate records of glucose testing during the index pregnancy and these records are not in keeping with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes (by either WHO criteria if a 75g oral glucose tolerance test has been carried out).
  • At least one non-diabetic OGTT after the index pregnancy.

Who cannot join

  • History of weight loss for child (greater than 2kg over last 6 months).
  • Presence of other major illnesses which might interfere with appetite or food intake in mother or child.
  • Child not living with mother.

Insulin secretion will be measured during infusions of escalating doses of atropine. Other clinical parameters of parasympathetic inhibition by atropine will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Children of mothers who had diabetes during pregnancy are at an increased risk of diabetes and obesity in later life, effects partly mediated by the early environment experienced by the offspring of diabetic mothers in utero. In this protocol, we address why intra-uterine exposure to maternal diabetes might lead to later childhood obesity. Previous studies of children of diabetic mothers have not detected any alteration in energy expenditure, either as resting metabolic rate or physical activity. We will now examine whether they are at an increased risk of obesity due to differences in food intake. We will assess composition of the diet, patterns of eating, taste preference and physiological responses to a mixed meal. No previous work in human subjects has addressed these issues.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 2 Jul 2017. 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 United States. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00339313, which also lists 3 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 2 Jul 2017.
