Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with known T2DM and who are not taking exogenous insulin.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must be >30 and <65 years of age, in order to limit the confounding affect of age on our endpoints.
  • Subjects must have an ejection fraction >45% (based on their echocardiogram)
  • Patients with T2DM and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or steatohepatitis may be included since they have extensive evidence of steatosis.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who have had a myocardial infarction or resting ischemia (by history or as evidenced by hypo/akinesis on the pre-intervention echocardiogram) will be excluded because hypo/akinesis would affect our endpoints of LV mass and diastolic function.
  • Subjects who are unstable, not able to lie flat for the imaging studies, unable to give informed consent, pregnant, lactating, with atrial fibrillation (which would compromise measurement of E'), or current smokers will be excluded.
  • Subjects with other major systemic diseases per their clinical charts, history, physical exam, or significant renal insufficiency will also be excluded, as these other system diseases may affect our study endpoints and subject follow-up.
  • We will exclude patients with significant LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction <45%)
  • We will not exclude patients with sleep apnea because it does not detrimentally affect LV diastolic function.
  • Subjects will be excluded a priori if they have any history or evidence of liver disease other than NAFLD, consumed >20 g alcohol per day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 11 Jan 2024. 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?

cardiac function (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT01373814, 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 11 Jan 2024.
