Trial summary

Enhancing endogenous insulin production in type 1 diabetic patients (T1DP) can improve glycemic control and decrease complications and rates of mortality. However, it can be succesfull even if sufficient β-cell function is present. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: β-cell Function in Type Diabetes May Not Be As Low As Presumed

Enhancing endogenous insulin production in type 1 diabetic patients (T1DP) can improve glycemic control and decrease complications and rates of mortality. However, it can be succesfull even if sufficient β-cell function is present. We aimed to evaluate the extent of β-cell function by determining fasting levels of C-peptide and those after meal stimulus.

Read the detailed description

Background and aims: Enhancing endogenous insulin production in type 1 diabetic patients (T1DP) can improve glycemic control and decrease complications and rates of mortality. However, it can be succesfull even if sufficient β-cell function is present. We aimed to evaluate the extent of β-cell function by determining fasting levels of C-peptide and those after meal stimulus.

Materials and Methods: One hundred and thiryfive T1DP were planned to enrolı to the study. Ethics comittee of our hospital approved the study protocol, which was in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Fasting C-peptide levels of all participants and stimulated (at 90 th minute post mixed meal) C-peptide levels of 54 will be measured by using an electrochemiluminescence assay. Two categorizations will be done using fasting (the first categorization ) and at 90th minute post mixed meal test (the second categorization) of C-peptide levels. For the first categorization; the groups will be classified as follows: patients with undetectable ≤0.1 ng/mL (group 1); with minimal 0.1-0.8 ng/ml (group 2); and with sustained ≥0.8 ng/mL(group 3) C-peptide levels. For the second categorization, groups will be as follows: patients with undetectable ≤0.1 ng/mL (group 1); with minimal 0.1-0.8 ng/ml (group 2); and with sustained ≥0.8 ng/mL (group 3) C-peptide levels which increased at the 90th minute after the meal ≥150% of fasting C-peptide level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of TYPE 1 DIABETES, run by Gonca Incemehmet Tamer at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 5 Sep 2016. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

We aimed to evaluate the extent of β-cell function by determining fasting levels of C-peptide and those after meal stimulus. (time frame: 1 day (the duration of mixed test is 90 minutes)). 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 5 Sep 2016.
