Trial summary

This proposal will test if, in patients with type 1 diabetes, wide blood glucose fluctuations lead to the injury to heart nerves , called cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and to impaired heart contractile (pumping) function and heart failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy and Myocardial Dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetes

This proposal will test if, in patients with type 1 diabetes, wide blood glucose fluctuations lead to the injury to heart nerves , called cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), and to impaired heart contractile (pumping) function and heart failure. It will also evaluate the natural history of heart failure and enhanced cardiac risk in patients with type 1 diabetes in the current standard of diabetes care.

Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate (HR) Variability Studies

    Evaluation of heart rate variability and 24 hour blood pressure monitoring: electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure will be recorded while resting in a lying down position and during certain controlled procedures that include deep breathing and other clinical maneuvers such as standing up and exhaling deeply.

    Measured: Three years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan

    Subjects will have a heart positron emission tomography (PET) scan, using a radioisotope called [11C] hydroxyl-ephedrine (HED). This type of heart PET scan allows mapping the heart nerves. You will also have another scan with a radioisotope called [11C]-acetate which will help us measure the metabolism of your heart and how efficiently it contracts.

    Measured: Test to be completed at baseline and end of study (3yrs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Michigan 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 14 inclusion and 0 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 Aug 2018. 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?

Heart rate (HR) Variability Studies (time frame: Three years). 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 Aug 2018.
