About this study

The objective of this demonstration project is to compare a novel long-acting starch, Glycosade, a hydrothermally processed high amylopectin maize starch, versus gastrostomy tube-dextrose infusion in maintaining euglycaemia overnight in children with GSD-I. Glycosade has been reported to increase the duration of euglycaemia. Its slow release and longer periods of normal blood sugar achieved would preclude the need for the overnight dextrose infusion and eliminate the need for the surgical insertion of a gastrostomy tube for this purpose. Glycosade also reportedly causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects, thus potentially improving compliance to therapy. The investigators intend to evaluate Glycosade in our patients and determine its efficacy on glucose control, on the length of normoglycemia achieved and to determine if there are reduced side effects in our patients with GSD-I. This will be accomplished by an open label study of Glycosade in GSD-I patients who consent to the protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glycosade in people with Glycogen Storage Disorder Type 1 and Hypoglycemia, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 3 Aug 2017. 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 Canada. 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?

Normal Blood Glucose (time frame: Overnight). 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 3 Aug 2017.
