Trial summary

Although diabetes has been controlled since insulin became available, it is still considered incurable and poses serious threats to human health. Reports have suggested that the hyperglycemic condition of patients with diabetes mellitus may be greatly alleviated or even reversed if it could be controlled at an early… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Verification for Early Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Standard-Free, Label-Free LC-MS/MS Quantification of Glycated Peptides

Although diabetes has been controlled since insulin became available, it is still considered incurable and poses serious threats to human health. Reports have suggested that the hyperglycemic condition of patients with diabetes mellitus may be greatly alleviated or even reversed if it could be controlled at an early stage of diabetes. Thus, early detection and diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes are become increasingly important in the treatment and prevention of diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is currently diagnosed by recurrent or persistent hyperglycemia. In an effort to identify novel biomarkers for diabetes, research has shown that neither plasma glucose nor glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are unable to be used in the early detection of diabetes. In this work, the investigators have found 8 biomarker candidates by developing a standard-free, label-free MS-based proteomics method based on standard protein (human serum albumin, the highest abundance protein in human plasma) model in vitro. Then, the investigators wanted to verify these biomarker candidates by clinical plasma samples to see if there is significant quantitative difference between normal people and diabetes patients.

Read the detailed description

The procedure of clinical study was:

  1. to get plasma samples from hospital;
  2. digestion of plasma protein-mixture by trypsin;
  3. run mass spectrometry and monitor the amount of target HSA-peptides.

What is being measured

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

  1. measurement of the amount of plasma peptides

    The investigators have found 8 biomarker candidates by developing a standard-free, label-free MS-based proteomics method based on standard protein (human serum albumin, the highest abundance protein in human plasma) model in vitro.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Beijing Institute of Technology.

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 3 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 18 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

measurement of the amount of plasma peptides (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 18 Jul 2013.
