Trial summary

Simplified Brochure Neuropsychological Testing/Assessment is like games for the child. They are asked to complete the sequence, identify pictures, explain what is happening, etc. There is no personality testing involved. Part of the standard IQ testing is done but no IQ score is obtained. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neurocognitive and Neuroanatomical Studies in Young Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Simplified Brochure

Neuropsychological Testing/Assessment is like games for the child. They are asked to complete the sequence, identify pictures, explain what is happening, etc. There is no personality testing involved. Part of the standard IQ testing is done but no IQ score is obtained. Age appropriate testing is done for each child.

The MRI is an enclosed machine. We have the child sit in a simulator after the neuropsychological testing to see what it will be like, including the sounds, etc. You will be given a video about MRI testing to view as well. The staff that does this has been doing this for years in a wide variety of children, young, developmental delayed, etc. The staff does this WITHOUT sedation. Some children cannot sit still through the entire series. We need to get six, 10 minute scans. Children are allowed movement such as the need to wiggle their toes and move in between each scan.

The Neuropsychological Testing can be scheduled in the late afternoons if it is more convenient for your family. This visit may take 3-4 hours. The MRI scanning can be scheduled after 5pm and may take up to 2 hours depending on the child's cooperation. You maybe asked to repeat the Neuropsychological Testing and MRI scanning 24 months later.

BROCHURE:

Name of Study: Neuropsychological and Neuroanatomical Studies in Young Children Study Directors: Tandy Aye, MD; Bruce Buckingham, MD; Darrell Wilson, MD

About the Study: This study is being conducted to see if Type 1 diabetes mellitus has any affect on learning, behavior and development in young children. Fifty to 60 children between the ages of 3 to less than 10 years with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will have neuropsychological testing and a nonsedated MRI scan of the head performed. The study will compare the results from those with diabetes to a control group of 20-30 children between the ages of 3 to less than 10 years without Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The control subjects will have neuropsychological testing and a nonsedated MRI scan of the head performed as well. All subjects maybe asked to repeat the neuropsychological testing and nonsedated MRI scan of the head 24 months later. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will not have any changes made to their current diabetes regimen. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus should continue to check blood glucose values as required by their doctors and bring their meter(s) for downloading to each visit. The child should also tell his/her doctor about the frequency of severe low and high blood glucose values to his/er doctor as routinely asked.

Participant Schedule:

  1. One visit for 3-4 hours at the Stanford Medical Center to complete neuropsychological testing and to become familiar with the MRI scanner.
  2. Subjects who need to become more familiar with the MRI scanning process will view a video tape at home.
  3. One visit for 1-2 hours at Stanford Medical Center to have the MRI scan of the head completed.
  4. Subjects may have the neuropsychological testing and MRI scan repeated 24 months from time of the initial testing and scan.

Inclusion Criteria:

To take part in the study, the child must meet the following inclusion criteria:

  1. Be between the ages of 3 to 10 years.
  2. Have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months.
  3. Do not have plans to move out of the area within the next 36 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

A history of head trauma with any loss of consciousness cystic fibrosis prematurity (born less than 30 weeks of gestation) significant developmental delay (lack of single word speech or ability to walk independently by 18 months of age) neurologic disease independent of diabetes (eg seizure disorder or medical contraindication to MRI procedure (eg metal appliances such as braces).

Compensation: There will be no cost to the subjects to participate in this research study. Participants will be compensated for their time. If you are interested in participating in this study and you meet the inclusion criteria, please contact:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Stanford University 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 4 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 14 Apr 2016. 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?

MRI brain volumes (time frame: 3 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 14 Apr 2016.
