About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Novel Method for Integrating Insulin Delivery and Glucose Sensing in Subcutaneous Tissue for the Treatment of Type-1 Diabetic Patients

The study seeks to use microdialysis and microperfusion techniques to assess the feasibility of combining insulin delivery and glucose sensing at a single subcutaneous tissue site.

Read the detailed description

Current treatment of in type 1 diabetes comprises the measurement of glucose in capillary blood obtained by fingersticking and administration of exogenous insulin in the form of a subcutaneous bolus injection or subcutaneous infusion. This treatment could be simplified if there were a stable ratio between blood glucose concentration and tissue glucose level at the site of insulin delivery so that tissue glucose levels could be used to estimate blood glucose levels, thereby circumventing the need for fingerstick blood glucose monitoring.

The aim of this study is to ascertain whether a stable ratio between the blood glucose concentration and the glucose levels at the tissue site of insulin infusion exists when this tissue site is exposed to variable insulin infusion rates. To achieve this, microdialysis and microperfusion probes are applied in healthy and type 1 diabetic subjects to perform insulin delivery and glucose sampling at the same adipose tissue site during euglycemic clamps and oral glucose tolerance tests.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OGTT and CLAMPProcedure or surgery

    Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT):

    Oral glucose tolerance test combined with subcutaneous insulin delivery and glucose sampling using a single microdialysis or microperfusion probe.

    Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (CLAMP):

    Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with simultaneous subcutaneous insulin delivery and glucose sampling using microdialysis and microperfusion probe.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio between the plasma glucose level and the glucose concentration at the subcutaneous insulin delivery site

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OGTT and CLAMP in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 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 19 Oct 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 Austria. 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?

Ratio between the plasma glucose level and the glucose concentration at the subcutaneous insulin delivery site (time frame: 1 day). 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 19 Oct 2011.
