Trial summary

This is an observational study of children and young adults ages 6-20 years with type 1 diabetes and age- and race-matched controls. The investigators will be examining blood and urine hormone levels as well as measures of bone density including DXA and high-resolution peripheral quantitiative computed tomography.

About this study

Official title: Bone Mineral Accrual and Microarchitecture in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

This is an observational study of children and young adults ages 6-20 years with type 1 diabetes and age- and race-matched controls. The investigators will be examining blood and urine hormone levels as well as measures of bone density including DXA and high-resolution peripheral quantitiative computed tomography. The investigators will also be collecting data regarding physical activity via use of wearable accelerometers. The investigators hypothesize that youth with type 1 diabetes will have slower bone accrual and impaired bone microarchitectural integrity compared with non-diabetic controls, and that bones of individuals with type 1 diabetes will not respond as well to physical activity. The investigators hypothesize that poor bone accrual will be associated with sub-optimal glucose control as well as lower levels of insulin-like growth factor 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of bone mineral accrual

    Bone mineral mass and density will be measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and 12 months. Percent change over time will be calculated and then compared in subjects with type 1 diabetes and matched control subjects.

    Measured: 0, 12, 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cross-sectional comparison of bone microarchitectural parameters in patients with diabetes vs. controls

    Bone microarchitecture will be assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Parameters measured will include cortical compartment density, cortical thickness, cortical porosity, trabecular density, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Rate of bone mineral accrual

    Bone mineral mass and density will be measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and 24 months. Percent change over time will be calculated and then compared in subjects with type 1 diabetes and matched control subjects.

    Measured: 0 and 24 months

  3. Change bone microarchitectural parameters in patients with diabetes vs. controls

    Bone microarchitecture will be assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at 0 and 12 months. Parameters measured will include cortical compartment density, cortical thickness, cortical porosity, trabecular density, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness and percent change over 12 months will be calculated. Percent change will be compared in patients with diabetes and matched controls.

    Measured: 0 and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Osteoporosis, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2020. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Deborah M Mitchell, MD (617-724-2034, dmmitchell@partners.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of bone mineral accrual (time frame: 0, 12, 24 months). 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 NCT02140424, which also lists 2 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.

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 9 Oct 2020.
