About this study

Wolfram syndrome, also referred to as DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness) is a genetic syndrome characterized by beta-cell dysfunction and apoptosis leading to diabetes, neurodegeneration and psychiatric illness. Accumulating evidence indicates that beta-cell failure and neuronal cell dysfunction in Wolfram's syndrome results from a high level of ER stress in affected cells. The current treatment of Wolfram syndrome is insulin, which fails to prevent the progression of beta-cell failure.

Several studies showed that GLP-1 analogs are very effective in protecting beta-cells from ER stress. Herein, the investigators suggest studying the impact of GLP-1 analogs in the treatment of patients with Wolfram syndrome.

The investigators will Study the effects of GLP-1 analog (Exanatide) on beta-cell function and glycemic control of patients with Wolfram syndrome. Evaluation of beta cell function will be done by performing meal test and IVGTT test before starting GLP-1 therapy, and after 3 month of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exenatide in people with Diabetes Mellitus Associated With Genetic Syndrome and Wolfram Syndrome, run by Hadassah Medical Organization.

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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

beta cell function (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT01302327, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2022.
