About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Oxidative Stress, Endothelial Dysfunction, Increased Carotid Artery Intima-media Thickness (cIMT) and Biomarkers of Vascular Inflammation in Adolescents With Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)

The purpose of this study is to find out if diabetes damages the blood vessels of adolescents with good diabetes control compared to adolescents with less optimal control.

Read the detailed description

Many published studies reveal that adult patients with T1DM can have early, silent and more advanced vessel wall thickness than normal subjects. This is influenced by the degree of their blood sugar control. If this is happening in adolescents, we want to know what proportion of adolescent children with type 1 diabetes show signs of early blood vessel damage. We also want to learn if these signs of damage are linked to other factors such as how long someone has had diabetes, blood sugar control or individual differences because of a difference in genetic make-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 27 Jun 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the impact of glycemic control on vascular oxidative stress/inflammation in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (time frame: 1 year). 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 27 Jun 2011.
