About this study

The purpose of this study is to study impairment of white blood cell function in patients with type II diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Leucocytes from poorly controlled diabetes exhibit aberrant chemotaxis, increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, leukotriene production, lysosomal enzyme release, proinflammatory cytokine expression and production of reactive oxygen species. Aberrant glucose concentration in diabetics affects functions of peripheral blood system as well as the immune system leading to impaired host defense. Impaired wound healing is a serious complication associated with diabetes. We hypothesized that impairment in leukocyte function results in dysfunctional inflammatory response in diabetic wounds. The proposed studies focus on characterizing mechanisms that will improve our understanding of the dysfunctional inflammatory response resulting in non-healing chronic wounds in diabetics.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01144520
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NormoglycemicHealthy subjects that do not have diabetes
Type II Diabetes (HbA1c <7 or 7%)Subject that have Type II Diabetes with good glucose control with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c <7 or 7%)
Type II Diabetes (HbA1c between 7.1-9)Subjects with Type II Diabetes with moderate glucose control (HbA1c between 7.1-9)
Type II Diabetes (HbA1c >9%)Subjects with Type II Diabetes with poor glucose control (HbA1c >9%)

What is being measured

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

  1. Ex vivo leukocyte function by measuring ROS production

    After blood draw monocytes are separated from whole blood and production of oxidants by these cells

    Measured: immediately after blood draw

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ex vivo NADPH oxidase gene and protein expression

    Gene and protein expressions are measured using Western blot and real time PCR.

    Measured: After blood draw

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sashwati Roy 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2021. 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 was stopped early (reason given: researchers moved to new institution and did not transfer project). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Ex vivo leukocyte function by measuring ROS production (time frame: immediately after blood draw). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01144520, which also lists 4 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 22 Nov 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
