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 10 to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Children between 10-16 with DKA

Who may be able to join

  • To be eligible for the study, all subjects must meet the following criteria:
  • Healthy control OR
  • Clinical new onset or established diagnosis of diabetes with diabetes ketoacidosis as defined by the Pediatric Endocrine Society Consensus Statement guidelines
  • Age 10 years to less than 17 years
  • Parent/guardian understand the study protocol and agrees to comply with it.
  • Primary care giver (i.e parent/guardian) comprehends written English. This is due to the fact that questionnaires and neurocognitive testing tools used as outcome measures do not have validated versions in Spanish or other language. Subject comprehends and speaks English.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for the study:
  • History of head trauma with any loss of consciousness
  • History of premature birth (less than 30 weeks of gestation)
  • History of significant developmental delay (lack of single word speech or ability to walk independently by 18 months of age
  • History of neurologic disease independent of diabetes (seizure disorder)

About this study

This is a research study to understand how diabetic ketoacidosis may affect the brain and learning and to see if these changes are transient or permanent. The investigators hope to learn more about how diabetic ketoacidosis may cause changes in brain compliance (by wearing a non-invasive head band/helmet like device from Jan Medical: The Nautilus Neurowave System™ (NNS), learning, talking, behavior, or development. The investigators will compare those results from those with diabetes mellitus to those age and gendered matched healthy controls. Possible subjects in this study have diabetes mellitus and are between the ages of 10 to less than 17 years old OR do NOT have diabetes and are between the ages of 10 to less than 17 years old.

What participants receive

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

  • this is not an intervention studyOther

    Subjects will wear the headband/helmet-like device for approximately 10 minutes on four different occasions: t=0, t=1week, t=1month, t=3months. Of note, part of the device also involves electrodes that are worn to obtain an electrocardiogram or EKG.

  • this is not an intervention studyOther

    Subjects will be asked to participate in both computerized and non-computerized tests to assess subjects' cognitive (learning, language and memory) abilities, developmental level, and behavior. Tests will take place at t=0, t=1week, t=1month, t=3months.

  • MRIDevice

    MRI study of the brain will be performed at t=3months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Unique signal measured in Hertz

    We will be using the brain compliance measurement device to see if there is a unique signal for those with DKA and if so, follow the duration of this signal.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Diabetic Ketoacidosis, 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 13 Nov 2019. 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?

Unique signal measured in Hertz (time frame: 3 months). 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 13 Nov 2019.
