Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of hypoglycemia on cognition in healthy individuals and how well changes in (interstitial) tissue glucose levels correlate with changes in cognitive function as compared to blood glucose levels. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of hypoglycemia on cognition in healthy individuals and how well changes in (interstitial) tissue glucose levels correlate with changes in cognitive function as compared to blood glucose levels.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will undergo hypoglycemic clamps during which interstitial glucose will be measured and cognitive function will be assessed.

What participants receive

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

  • euglycemic and hypoglycemic clampProcedure or surgery

    Also called clamp

    Subjects will undergo standard euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamps, and will have concurrent assessments of cognitive function and measurement of interstitial glucose concentrations.

What is being measured

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

  1. cognitive function correlation to blood or interstitial glucose

    This investigator initiated study will evaluate cognitive function at the onset, during and following recovery from hypoglycemia and will determine if cognitive function correlates better with blood or interstitial glucose concentrations.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp in people with Hypoglycemia, run by Joslin Diabetes Center 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 1 inclusion and 16 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 9 May 2017. 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?

cognitive function correlation to blood or interstitial glucose (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 9 May 2017.
