About this study

Official title: Effect of Implantable Progestin-only Contraception on the Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome in Thai Women With History of Gestational Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of implantable contraception on the incidence of diabetes mellitus in women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus comparing with those using nonhormonal contraceptives.

Read the detailed description

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was defined as abnormal glucose tolerance detected for the first time in pregnancy. GDM is a well-known risk factor for developing overt diabetes later in life, especially type 2 diabetes. About 50-60% of woman with prior GDM will develop type 2 diabetes during their lifetime. Recent studies show that women with previous GDM exhibit a markedly increased prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, even when glucose tolerance is normal. For both maternal and future offspring, women with prior GDM need safe, efficient, and acceptable choices for contraceptive methods that do not enhance their already substantial risk to develop either overt diabetes or metabolic syndrome and associated sequelae. The intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective and reversible contraceptive method without metabolic disturbances and therefore is an ideal contraceptive for women with prior GDM. Progestins do not increase globulin production; thus, they do not increase coagulation factors or blood pressure. A nonrandomized open-label prospective trial of healthy obese, reproductive-age women in California were studied about the metabolic effects of progestin-only long-acting reversible contraception levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and etonogestrel implant (ENG-I)] comparing with nonhormonal contraception (NHC). The changes in fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity were seen among obese at 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing progestin implant in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2018. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Diabetes mellitus (time frame: 5 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 22 Aug 2018.
