Trial summary

Natural course of diabetes mellitus involves gradual reduction of β cell mass within islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Symptoms of diabetes present when the mass of insulin-producing cells reaches a point where insulin concentration does not suffice to maintain proper glycaemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Occurrence of Remission and Its Duration on Development of Chronic Complications of Type 1 Diabetes and Patient Outcome

Natural course of diabetes mellitus involves gradual reduction of β cell mass within islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Symptoms of diabetes present when the mass of insulin-producing cells reaches a point where insulin concentration does not suffice to maintain proper glycaemia. In many patients β cells regenerate shortly after the diagnosis of diabetes and initiation of insulin therapy. This phenomenon is called a remission.

The aim of this study is to asses the influence of occurrence and duration of remission on development of chronic complications of diabetes and patients outcome.

Natural course of diabetes mellitus involves gradual reduction of β cell mass within islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Symptoms of diabetes present when the mass of insulin-producing cells reaches a point where insulin concentration does not suffice to maintain proper glycaemia. In many patients β cells regenerate shortly after the diagnosis of diabetes and initiation of insulin therapy. This phenomenon is called a remission.

The aim of this study is to asses influence of occurrence and duration of remission on development of chronic complications of diabetes and patients outcome.

Clinical remission was defined as time in which all of the following criteria were met: HbA1c below 6.5 % , dose of exogenous insulin below 0.3 U / kg body weight and serum C-peptide concentration above 0.5 ng / ml. Patients were divided into those who were in remission at any time during follow-up (remitters) and non-remitters.

At follow-up occurrence of chronic microvascular complications of diabetes (retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease and neuropathy) was evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and Remission of Type 1 Diabetes, run by Poznan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 19 Aug 2014. 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 Poland. 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?

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?

Development of chronic complication of diabetes (retinopathy or neuropathy or nephropathy) (time frame: Evaluation for chronic complications of diabetes was conducted after a period of no less than 5 years from diagnosis.). 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 19 Aug 2014.
