Trial summary

In 1997, the global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 125 million and this has risen to around 400 million in 2015. In addition diabetes has a number of complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and amputation. This represents a significant burden on healthcare services.

About this study

In 1997, the global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to be 125 million and this has risen to around 400 million in 2015. In addition diabetes has a number of complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and amputation. This represents a significant burden on healthcare services. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The aim of GoDARTS is to recruit participants with T2D to a registry to provide a platform with which to investigate the genetics of T2D, its complications and response to treatment. This study will investigate the genetic basis of diabetic neuropathic pain.

Read the detailed description

GoDARTS is the genetics arm of the DARTS study, which was set up to identify all diabetes patients in the Tayside region. Its aim is to improve diabetes care over and above existing practices. Participants are invited to attend to provide blood samples for DNA/RNA analysis, provide baseline anthropometric, biochemical, blood pressure and heart rate measurements as well as completing a lifestyle questionnaire containing smoking, menopausal and physical activity items. Consent is also obtained to allow anonymous linkage to electronic medical records (EMR) through use of the Community Health Index (CHI) number, a unique patient identifier that is issued to everyone registered with a general practitioner in Scotland. GoDARTS is the first EMR linked cohort in the world and provides access to individual participant longitudinal data including biochemical, comorbidity and prescription records. These are live databases and are constantly being updated. This allows for the study of genetic factors influencing T2D, its comorbidities and response to therapy. Consent has also been obtained for re-contact by collaborators, allowing for further studies of related phenotypes to take place. One of these studies is DOLORisk Dundee which aims to identify genetic and environmental risk factors for neuropathic pain.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Neuropathic Pain, run by University of Dundee at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 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 16 Jul 2021. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Neuropathic Pain (time frame: April 2016 - December 2016). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02783469, which also lists 35 linked publications.

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 16 Jul 2021.
