Study population: 449 patients with type 1 diabetes (56.4% female, mean age 36.0±11.0 years) were included between October 2004 and October 2012. Inclusion criterion was type 1 diabetes duration ≥10 years. The patients presented a mixed ethnic background (European Caucasian, African, Amerindian and Asian of several different countries of origin), which reflects the Brazilian population.

Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Gene Coding GLUT-1 and Diabetic Nephropathy in Brazilian Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Cells damaged by hyperglycemia are unable to downregulate glucose entrance in presence of high extracellular glucose resulting in intracellular activation of deleterious biochemical pathways. Expression of GLUT-1, the major glucose transporter in mesangial cells, is increased and participates in the induction of diabetic nephropathy. Variants in the gene encoding GLUT-1 (SLC2A1) have been associated to this diabetic complication. The aim of this study was to test whether polymorphisms in SLC2A1 confer susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in Brazilian type 1 diabetes patients.

Read the detailed description

In this study, 449 patients, included between October 2004 and October 2012, were sorted into three groups according to diabetic nephropathy stages: without (persistent normoalbuminuria, n=248), incipient (microalbuminuria, n=82) and overt diabetic nephropathy (macroalbuminuria or proteinuria or renal replacement therapy, n=119). Measurements of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) or urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) were used to define DN: patients with persistent normoalbuminuria (<30 mg/g creatinine or <20 μg/min) were classified as without DN (n=248); patients presenting persistent microalbuminuria (30-300 mg/g creatinine or 20-200 μg/min) were classified as having incipient DN (n=82); and patients presenting persistent macroalbuminuria (>300 mg/g creatinine or >200 µg/min), proteinuria (>500 mg/24 h) or renal replacement therapy were classified as having overt DN (n=119). Genotyping of polymorphisms was performed by Real Time PCR using fluorescent -labelled probes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Nephropathy., run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2013. 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 Brazil. 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?

Plasmatic Creatinine (time frame: Two 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 16 Jan 2013.
