About this study

Official title: Characteristics of Glycemic Fluctuations in Newly Diagnosed Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome Subjects

Glucose fluctuations present not only in patients with diabetes mellitus but also in subjects with normal glucose tolerance or impaired glucose regulation. People with Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome are at risk of impaired glucose metabolism. Glycemic variability is poorly studied in the nondiabetic individuals. The aim of the study is to investigate the characteristics of glucose fluctuations in the newly diagnosed Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome individuals.

Read the detailed description

Glucose fluctuations present not only in patients with diabetes mellitus but also in subjects with normal glucose tolerance or impaired glucose regulation. Compared with traditional monitoring methods, continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) techniques provides a much more detailed understanding of shifting blood glucose levels throughout the day.It is considered reliable to evaluate glucose variability not only in patients with diabetes but also in nondiabetic individuals.

People with Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome are at risk of impaired glucose metabolism and developing diabetes mellitus.Some researchers have shown that 15-30% Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma are suffering from diabetes, 15-36% impaired glucose regulation. The rate of Cushing Syndrome individuals is 10-30% and 40-45% separately.

Glycemic variability is poorly studied in the nondiabetic individuals and has not been studied in the newly diagnosed Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome individuals. In this study CGM was used to dynamically monitor patients being newly diagnosed with Growth Hormone-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome.

What participants receive

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

  • continuous glucose monitoringDevice

    Patients newly diagnosed GH-releasing pituitary adenoma or Cushing Syndrome in our department will be monitored blood glucose by CGMS Gold.

What is being measured

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

  1. Continuous glucose profiles of mean data of 24-hour continuous glucose monitoring by the CGMS Gold

    The monitoring results consisted of one curve and 5 parameters

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The mean amplitude of glycemic excursion of newly diagnosed GH adenoma patients

    The mean amplitude of glycemic excursion of newly diagnosed GH adenoma patients during the 3 days monitored by CGMS Gold

    Measured: 3 days

  2. The mean amplitude of glycemic excursion of newly diagnosed Cushing Syndrome patients during the 3 days monitored by CGMS Gold

    The mean amplitude of glycemic excursion of newly diagnosed Cushing Syndrome patients during the 3 days monitored by CGMS Gold

    Measured: 3 days

  3. The correlation of MAGE and IGF-1 in newly diagnosed GH adenoma patients

    By compared with the outcomes after treated by SSAs or surgery we want to get weather there is a correlation between MAGE and IGF-1 in GH adenoma patients

    Measured: 6 months

  4. The correlation of MAGE and cortison in newly diagnosed Cushing Syndrome patients

    By compared with the outcomes after treated by surgery we want to get weather there is a correlation between MAGE and cortison in Cushing Syndrome patients

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pituitary Adenoma, run by Huashan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 23 Jan 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 China. 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?

Continuous glucose profiles of mean data of 24-hour continuous glucose monitoring by the CGMS Gold (time frame: 3 days). 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 23 Jan 2018.
