About this study

A PRoBE design study will be used to obtain saliva from patients before undergoing blood study evaluation for screening at risk patients for the presence of undiagnosed pre-diabetes of type II diabetes. Pre-specified saliva biomarkers will be evaluated along with multi-marker models for their discriminatory value for distinguishing patients with normal glucose metabolism from those with disease. Appropriate housekeeping genes will also be incorporated to allow for the measurement of relative gene expression.

Read the detailed description

Prospective-specimen-collection, retrospective-blinded-evaluation (PRoBE) methods will be employed to collect saliva and evaluate transcriptome markers for early pre-diabetes and type II diabetes identification. At risk patients will have fasting blood glucose and insulin levels measured along with hemoglobin A1c and 2 hour post-prandial glucose levels. Saliva samples will be stored and will be analyzed after pre-specifying a panel of mRNAs and a multi marker model for validation. The pre-specified mRNAs and multi-marker model will be determined after analysis of data from a currently ongoing case-control study. After analyzing the data from this prior trial a validation plan will be locked before analysis of the prospectively collected specimens. Pre-diabetes will be defined based on abnormal glucose tolerance tests. Insulin resistance will be calculated as HOMA IR. The diagnostic value of the salivary transcriptome for will be compared with that of hemoglobin A1c and fasting blood glucose for the detection of pre-diabetes, insulin resistance and type II diabetes.

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

Study groups in NCT02673762
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normal glucose metabolismNormal fasting blood glucose, 2 hour post prandial glucose, hemoglobin A1c and HOMA IR
Pre-diabetesAbnormal glucose tolerance tests and/or insulin resistance with fating blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c below type II diabetes levels
Type II diabetesHemoglobin A1c 6.5% or greater, fasting blood glucose >125 mg/dl or 2 hour post-prandial blood glucose 200 mg/ml or greater

What is being measured

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

  1. A multi marker test score based on a pre-specified model is measured in each patient. The test score is on a scale of 0 to 1.0 and relates to the probability of disease.

    The area under the ROC curve is used to determine the overall performance of the model at the completion of the study. An area over 0.7 is considered clincially significant.

    Measured: At study entry

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pre-specified mRNA marker Ct values from PCR analysis will be measured in individual patients

    The performance of each individual marker will be determined at study completion my comparing median values between groups by nonparametric analysis. A p value of less than or equal to 0.05 is considered significant.

    Measured: At study entry

  2. Housekeeping gene Ct values on PCR analysis will be measured in individual patients

    The performance of these genes will be determined based on stability within and between groups utilizing the NormFinder program. Stability values of < 0.2 will be considered significant.

    Measured: At study entry

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pre-diabetes and Type II Diabetes, run by PeriRx 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 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 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?

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?

A multi marker test score based on a pre-specified model is measured in each patient. The test score is on a scale of 0 to 1.0 and relates to the probability of disease. (time frame: At study entry). 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 12 Apr 2018.
