About this study

Official title: A Study to Assess Continuous Glucose Sensor Profiles in Healthy Non-Diabetic Subjects

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Glucose Sensor Study group is carrying out a large, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of use of real-time continuous glucose monitors (RT-CGM) as an adjunct to standard meter plasma glucose testing. Although the primary outcome in the >= 7.0% cohort is differences in HbA1c levels, important secondary outcomes are differences in the percent of glucose sensor values either above or below the target glucose range of 70-180 mg/dl and differences in glucose variability. Prevention of biochemical hypoglycemia is a particularly important outcome in the low HbA1c cohort. Since CGM systems measure interstitial rather than plasma glucose and CGM values differ from simultaneous plasma glucose values by up to 18%, it would be extremely useful for comparative purposes to establish a reference range of sensor values in healthy, non-diabetic control subjects for this study and other future investigations. The objective of this protocol is to establish such reference sensor glucose ranges in each of the 3 devices being utilized in the JDRF study.

Read the detailed description
  1. After initial eligibility is determined, informed consent and assent are obtained from the parent/guardian and subject.
  2. Subjects will have the following tests performed:
  • Hemoglobin A1c (using the DCA2000 or equivalent device)
  • Oral glucose tolerance test to obtain fasting and 2 hour plasma glucose levels
  • Anti-GAD, anti-IA2 and anti-insulin antibodies
  • Subjects with an HbA1c >6.0% and/or fasting glucose levels >100 and/or 2 hour glucose levels >140 will be discontinued from the study.
  1. Subjects with normal A1c and glucose levels will be provided with an RT-CGM and home glucose meter (HGM)
  2. An RT-CGM sensor will be inserted and initiated by study personnel.
  3. Subjects who would like to wear 2 sensors will be given 2 of the same type of RT-CGM.
  4. Subjects will be instructed to wear the sensor for 3-7 days (depending on the type of device) and measure the blood glucose on the HGM as needed to calibrate the sensor.
  5. Subjects will return to the clinical center after the 3-7 days of sensor wear to return the RT-CGM and HGM.
  • If the subject has less than 48 hours of sensor data he or she will be asked to wear another sensor and return 3-7 days later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Mean Sensor Glucose by Age Group

    Mean glucose value was calculated for every hour of the 24 hours of the day. This measure is the average over all 24 hours.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  2. Daytime (6:00 a.m. - Midnight) Mean Sensor Glucose by Age Group

    Mean glucose value was calculated for every hour of the 24 hours of the day. This measure is the average from 6 a.m. to midnight.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  3. Nighttime (Midnight - 6:00 a.m.) Mean Sensor Glucose by Age Group

    Mean glucose value was calculated for every hour of the 24 hours of the day. This measure is the average from midnight to 6 a.m.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  4. Peak Daytime Sensor Glucose Value by Age Group

    The calculation of peak and nadir glucose was restricted to days with >=12 hours and nights with >=4 hours of sensor glucose data.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  5. Peak Nightime Sensor Glucose Value by Age Group

    The calculation of peak and nadir glucose was restricted to days with >=12 hours and nights with >=4 hours of sensor glucose data.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  6. Daytime Nadir Sensor Glucose Value by Age Group

    The calculation of peak and nadir glucose was restricted to days with >=12 hours and nights with >=4 hours of sensor glucose data. The daytime nadir reflects the lowest point on the sensor glucose curve registered among daytime values.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  7. Nighttime Nadir Sensor Glucose Value by Age Group

    The calculation of peak and nadir glucose was restricted to days with >=12 hours and nights with >=4 hours of sensor glucose data. The nighttime nadir reflects the lowest point on the sensor glucose curve registered among nighttime values.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  8. Percentage of Sensor Glucose Levels Between 71-120 mg/dL by Age Group

    The Percentage Sensor Glucose Levels between 71-120 mg/dL was calculated for each subject. The median and quartiles over all subjects were reported here.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  9. Percentage of Sensor Glucose Levels 71-120 mg/dL by Time of Day

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  10. Distribution of Sensor Glucose Levels <=70 mg/dL by Age Group

  13. Percentage of Sensor Glucose Levels <=60 mg/dl by Time of Day

    The Percentage of Sensor Glucose Levels <=60 mg/dl was calculated for each subject separately for the daytime and nighttime period. The median and quartiles over all subjects were reported.

    Here the data is different with data analyzed by age group, which is a subgroup analysis on 'percentage of sensor glucose levels <=60mg/dL' for all 24 hours.

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  14. Percentage of Sensor Glucose Levels >120 mg/dL by Age Group

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  18. Glucose Variability Measure- Standard Deviation by Age Group

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.

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00717977, which also lists 2 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.
