Trial summary

The value of HbA1c as a tool to determine glycemic control in patients with diabetes and renal failure has not been well studied, the same accepted normal ranges for HbA1c are applied to all patients with diabetes regardless of their renal function. Read more about this study

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 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Our target population is patients with diabetes and impaired renal function. This study will include 80 adult patients with type1 or type 2 diabetes; 20 with normal serum creatinine, 40 with renal failure in the predialysis stage (20 with stage 3 and 4 CKD [GFR 0f 20-40] and 20 with stage 5 CKD not yet on hemodialysis [GFR <20]), and 20 on hemodialysis. All patients should be comfortable and committed to doing self-glucose monitoring.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients >18 years of age with type 1 or 2 diabetes who show competence in home glucose monitoring and are willing to commit to doing the testing

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy
  • Having received a blood transfusion with in the preceding three months
  • Known to have any hereditary or hemolytic anemia
  • On a medication known to interfere with HbA1c assay (opiates, acetaminophen, vitamin C, vitamin E) - we will allow patients to be on asprin as almost all patients with diabetes are on this drug.
  • Having a blood hemoglobin <7 mg/dl
  • Bilirubin level >20mg/dL or a triglyceride level > 250mg/dL
  • Alcohol addiction

About this study

The value of HbA1c as a tool to determine glycemic control in patients with diabetes and renal failure has not been well studied, the same accepted normal ranges for HbA1c are applied to all patients with diabetes regardless of their renal function. We would like to evaluate the use of HbA1c as a tool of assessing long term glycemic control in this subgroup of patients with diabetes and evaluate the effect of dialysis on HbA1c

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Renal Failure, run by Reem Mohammad Alamoudi.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2020. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Correlation (time frame: three 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 20 Feb 2020.
