About this study

Official title: Treating Prediabetes in the First Trimester: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The investigators plan to study a sample of women with prediabetes (diagnosed by Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 5.7-6.4% or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 92-125 mg/dL) in the first trimester of pregnancy, and patients will be randomized to first trimester or third trimester treatment; the first trimester group will receive intervention immediately upon diagnosis of prediabetes whereas the third trimester group will receive only routine prenatal care until 28 weeks at which time they will receive intervention.

Intervention is defined as:

  • diabetes education
  • blood glucose monitoring
  • medications as needed
  • growth ultrasounds
  • antenatal testing

The primary outcome is umbilical cord C-Peptide >90th percentile. Secondary outcomes include neonatal fat mass at delivery, infant weight-for-length at 12 months of age, maternal gestational weight gain, and biomarkers (chemicals) measured in the placenta and the baby's umbilical cord blood.

The investigators hypothesize that women who undergo the above intervention in the first trimester will deliver significantly fewer neonates with umbilical cord C-Peptide >90th percentile, and that the neonates will have lower fat mass, and weight-for-length at 12 months. The investigators further hypothesize that a greater proportion of patients undergoing first trimester intervention will have appropriate maternal gestational weight gain as defined by the Institute of Medicine, and a greater proportion will return to prepregnancy weight within 12 months.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of the proposed research is to demonstrate that promoting a normoglycemic intrauterine milieu in women with prediabetes diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy with a Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 5.7-6.4% or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 92-125 mg/dL will decrease the accumulation of fetal white adipose tissue and development of infant/child obesity during the first year of life. This project is built upon the hypothesis that pregnant subjects with prediabetes randomized in the first trimester of pregnancy to strict glycemic control and pharmacotherapy as needed will have less fetal adiposity and adverse neonatal outcomes than those who receive the diagnosis of prediabetes but do not initiate care until the third trimester.

In the proposed study, 240 women meeting the above criteria for prediabetes at ≤ 15w0d gestation will be randomized to either first trimester or third trimester treatment. Each group will have diabetes education, initiate blood glucose monitoring, begin pharmacotherapy as needed (per established protocol), undergo growth ultrasounds, and antenatal testing. The first trimester arm will receive the above interventions immediately upon diagnosis of prediabetes whereas the third trimester arm will receive only routine prenatal care until 28 weeks at which time they will begin education and treatment. Both groups will be treated identically from 28 weeks until delivery.

In the 2013 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Gestational Diabetes (GDM) Consensus Conference, the panel was concerned about adopting criteria that would increase prevalence of GDM (i.e. first trimester treatment) without first demonstrating improved outcomes. The results of this proposed trial, will allow us to fill key research gaps; this is the first prospective trial to evaluate the International Associations of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) recommendations for screening and diagnosing prediabetes in the first trimester.

Findings from this research will quantify the maternal and neonatal benefits and harms of treating women with prediabetes from early pregnancy. Additionally, the cohort of neonates that will result from this study can be followed into childhood to evaluate whether first trimester treatment has benefits beyond those anticipated at birth and may decrease the long-term incidence of obesity and diabetes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Umbilical Cord C-Peptide >90th percentile

    Measured: 1 day (Collected at the time of delivery)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Neonatal fat mass

    Neonatal fat mass will be measured using an anthropometric model using weight, length, and flank skinfold thickness.

    Measured: Within 48 hours of delivery

  2. Adherence to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines for gestational weight gain

    The IOM recommends that underweight women (BMI<18.5kg/m2) gain 28-40lbs, normal women (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) gain 25-35lbs, overweight women (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) gain 15-25lbs and obese women (BMI≥30 kg/m2) gain 11-20 lbs.

    Measured: Weight gain will be measured from immediately preconception until delivery

  3. Return to prepregnancy weight

    Measured: After 1 year post delivery

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?

Umbilical Cord C-Peptide >90th percentile (time frame: 1 day (Collected at the time of delivery)). 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 NCT01926457, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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.
