Trial summary

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an asymptomatic disease. Diagnosis is based on a oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) requiring pregnant women to absorb 75g of glucose while fasting since midnight and to stay sober for another two hours. These OGTTs are poorly tolerated by pregnant women. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Diagnosis Test for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an asymptomatic disease. Diagnosis is based on a oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) requiring pregnant women to absorb 75g of glucose while fasting since midnight and to stay sober for another two hours. These OGTTs are poorly tolerated by pregnant women. As many OGTT are false positive according to self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), the investigators need now to determine the percentage of OGTT results that are false negative.

The comparison of the two tests (OGTT and SMBG) in the same patient with normal results of OGTT will determine the exact percentage of false negative OGTT results.

The opinion of women will also be taken into account. In the everyday clinic, many report that they prefer SMBG to OGTT because they do not have to be fasting, to drink non palatable drink and to attend a 2-hour visit in their schedule. However, no opinion study has yet been performed, the investigators will investigate formally what women think using a questionnaire.

What participants receive

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

  • DiagnosisProcedure or surgery

    Oral glucose tolerance test and self-monitoring blood glucose

What is being measured

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

  1. proportion of OGTTs falsely negative

    Measured: Will be evaluated when participants finished SMBG i.e. 7 days after the OGTT

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. preference of participants regarding the two tests (OGTT vs. SMBG)

    Evaluated by questionnaire

    Measured: Will be evaluated when participants finished SMBG i.e. 7 days after the OGTT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, run by Université de Sherbrooke 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 May 2018. 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?

proportion of OGTTs falsely negative (time frame: Will be evaluated when participants finished SMBG i.e. 7 days after the OGTT). 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 May 2018.
