Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand the risk factors and causes of diabetes in people who received radiation to the abdomen as children. The investigators hope this information will allow them to improve how they screen people at risk for diabetes and how they treat patients in the future. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessing Insulin Sensitivity and Diabetes Risk in Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated With Abdominal Irradiation: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to better understand the risk factors and causes of diabetes in people who received radiation to the abdomen as children. The investigators hope this information will allow them to improve how they screen people at risk for diabetes and how they treat patients in the future.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02248779
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
treated < 20 years prior to study enrollmentThe following information will be gathered: A. Height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure B. Oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) where in participants will ingest a standard oral glucose load (75 grams) in liquid formulation after an overnight fast. Blood samples for glucose and insulin concentrations will be taken at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post-glucose load. C. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), islet cell (ICA-512), and insulin autoantibody (IAA) titers as well as serum adiponectin and hemoglobin A1c. All enrolled patients will have a discussion with an LTFU doctor regarding the results of testing. Counseling and referral to a specialist will be provided if indicated.

What is being measured

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

  1. characterize β cell function

    we will be able to estimate the proportion of patients with abnormalities of insulin sensitivity or β cell function, as assessed by the OGTT, to within ± 0.14.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. insulin sensitivity

    we will be able to estimate the proportion of patients with abnormalities of insulin sensitivity or β cell function, as assessed by the OGTT, to within ± 0.14.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated With Abdominal Radiation, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2019. 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?

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?

characterize β cell function (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Oct 2019.
