Study population: The study included 98 T1DPs and 30 healthy subjects (CG). All subjects were matched on age and gender. β-cell function of 98 T1DPS was assesseed by measuring C-Peptide levels after mixed-meal tolarence test (MMTT)s. T1DPs were divided into 3 groups according to the C-Peptide levels after MMTTs and the groups were as follows: patients with undetectable ≤0.1 ng/mL(group 1a, n=30) C-Peptide levels; minimal 0.1-0.8 ng/mL(group1b, n=30); and sustained ≥0.8ng/mL(group1c, n=38) C-peptide levels which increased at the 90th minute after the meal ≥150% of fasting C-peptide level.

About this study

Official title: Roles of Interferon Gamma, Interleukin-2 and Tumor Necrotizan Factor Alpha in the Pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes

The mechanism of β cell destruction in Type 1 diabetes is not exactly known, Our hyphotesis is that interferon gamma, interleukin-2 and tumor necrotizan factor alpha have impotant roles in β cell destruction.

Read the detailed description

T helper (h)1 cells are known to have important roles in the destruction or/and dedifferentiation of β-cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Significant increase in IFN-γ-producing Th1 cells in the pancreas and in the serum levels were determined in type 1 diabetic patients at diabetes oneset. This data indicated that this proinflammatory mediator serve as a biomarker of advanced autoimmunity. We aimed to investigate the relationship between Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α) and T1D and the effect of those cytokines on β-cell function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 17 Mar 2015. 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?

Roles of interferon gamma, interleukin-2, tumor necrotizan factor alpha in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (time frame: 3 day). 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 17 Mar 2015.
