What participants receive

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

  • Transition CoordinatorOther

    The Transition Coordinator is central to the intervention and will provide ongoing contact with the medical system as well as education and clinical support where appropriate.

Study groups in NCT01351857
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Transition CoordinatorOtherA Transition Coordinator, a Certified Diabetes Educator, will provide transition support and the link between pediatric and adult diabetes care. The Transition Coordinator is central to the intervention and will provide ongoing contact with the medical system as well as education and clinical support where appropriate.
Receives: Other: Transition Coordinator
Current Standard of CareNo interventionSubjects in the control group will transition to adult care equal to the intervention group and will differ only by exclusion of Transition Coordinator. Control group will receive the current standard of diabetes care otherwise unchanged. Three months following randomization, subjects in the control group will be referred to the adult endocrinologist in the same way as subjects in the intervention group

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of subjects who fail to attend at least one outpatient adult endocrinology visit during the second year after transition to adult diabetes care.

    Measured: 30 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In the 2 year transfer to adult care-Frequency of A1C (glycated hemoglobin test)

    In the 2 year transfer to adult care-Frequency of A1C (glycated hemoglobin test) \& mean levels Frequency of retinal exam microalbumin to creatinine ratio fasting lipid profile and foot exam testing Rate of hospitalization/ER visits for acute complications of diabetes

    Measured: 30 months

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 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

The proportion of subjects who fail to attend at least one outpatient adult endocrinology visit during the second year after transition to adult diabetes care. (time frame: 30 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 NCT01351857, which also lists 3 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?
