About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Magnetic Nanoparticle Enhanced Imaging in Autoimmune Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ferumoxtran-10 can be used to detect changes in the pancreas associated with autoimmune diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Approximately one million individuals are afflicted with autoimmune Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in the United States. This disease results from the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Initially, diabetes is usually clinically occult with localized pancreatic inflammation characterized by a lymphocytic infiltration of the pancreatic islets, termed insulitis, which leads to beta-cell specific destruction of the islets. This is often followed by the clinically overt phase that ensues when the bulk of beta cells have been destroyed and the pancreas is no longer able to produce sufficient insulin to maintain glycemic control. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging with ferumoxtran-10, a functional molecular imaging agent consisting of iron oxide nanoparticles, to detect changes in the pancreas associated with the insulitis of T1DM.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Joslin Diabetes Center 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 7 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 10 Nov 2011. 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 NCT00585936, 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 10 Nov 2011.
