About this study

This is a phase IV study of 3.5 years duration to evaluate the phenotypic and genetic correlates of diabetes (non-Type 1 in young non-obese Asian Indians in North India and pilot case control study to evaluate the efficacy of sitagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) in a sub-group of the study population.

Read the detailed description

A phase IV on T2DM with BMI < 25 kg/m2 and age 14-40 years.

Primary Objectives:

  • To investigate phenotype (body composition, anthropometry, pancreatic imaging and endocrine function, insulin resistance, autoantibodies, and other biochemical variables) and genetic (known mutations and polymorphisms) correlates in young (age 14-40 years) diabetic patients (non-type 1).

Secondary Objectives:

  • To study anthropometric and body fat distribution including truncal fat, subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat in non-obese young patients with diabetes (non-type 1).
  • To study whether insulin secretion, insulin resistance or a combination of both is/are the predominant defect(s) in non-obese young diabetics (non-type 1).
  • To study the prevalence of autoimmunity and/or specific genetic abnormalities in this subgroup of diabetics.
  • To estimate approximate prevalence of diagnostic subcategories based on the sample of population, and profile of complications in each category.
  • To propose rational use of specialized investigations (e.g. GAD65, HNF-1α mutations etc) while investigating a newly diagnosed young diabetic.
  • To determine the rational therapeutic option and prognosis in this sub-population of diabetics based on anthropometric, biochemical, and etiological profiles.
  • Sample size: 205 patients to be enrolled and 120 patients to be enrolled for sub group study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Metformin and Lifestyle modification in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Diabetes Foundation, India at 1 site in India.

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 3 inclusion and 14 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 Aug 2015. 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 India. 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 (time frame: 18 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Aug 2015.
