About this study

Official title: The Addition of Rosiglitazone to Insulin in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes and Poor Glycaemic Control: a Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial

Type 1 Diabetes is the most common life-long disorder with onset in childhood. Patients need insulin injections, blood sugar monitoring several times each day, and adhere to a strict diet. Adequate control of blood glucose is essential to prevent long term kidney and eye complications that result in kidney failure and blindness. Adolescence is a time when diabetes is difficult to control, due in part to high growth hormone levels causing insulin resistance ( a state where the body does not respond as strongly to insulin). This study will test whether treatment with rosiglitazone (an oral medication used frequently in type 2 diabetes) will reduce the insulin resistance of adolescence and improve the control of type 1 diabetes during puberty.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosiglitazone in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Puberty: >Tanner 2 Breast Development or Testis >4ml, run by The University of New South Wales at 1 site in Australia.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 6 Sep 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 Australia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

HbA1c. 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 6 Sep 2006.
