Trial summary

This study is aimed at exploring the effects of glucocorticoids on glucose metabolism in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients with interstitial lung disease who is on the medication of 15mg prednisolone and 7.5mg prednisolone conduct the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Read more about this study

Study population: Interstitial lung diseases(ILD), also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, are a group of lung diseases with similar clinical, radiological and pathological manifestation. The causes include connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung diseases, idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, granulomatous lung disorders etc. Most patients with ILD are recommended to take the glucocorticoid treatment. The adverse effects of glucocorticoids include the glucose metabolism disorder, weight gain, high blood pressure and osteoporosis.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients diagnosed with interstitial lung disease

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are in an acute inflammatory phase
  • Patients who are diagnosed hemorrhagic disease
  • Patients who are unwilling to carry the continuous glucose monitoring device

About this study

Official title: Explore the Effects of Glucocorticoids on Glucose Metabolism by Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease

This study is aimed at exploring the effects of glucocorticoids on glucose metabolism in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients with interstitial lung disease who is on the medication of 15mg prednisolone and 7.5mg prednisolone conduct the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The data attained from the CGM are used to define the glycemic characteristics in patients using glucocorticoids and the difference of glucose features due to different doses.

Read the detailed description

Patients diagnosed of interstitial lung disease and treating with glucocorticoids could be enrolled in this clinical trial. Those who is in an acute inflammatory phase and diagnosed with hemorrhagic disease should are excluded, so are those unwilling to carry the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. When the dose of prednisolone is applied 15mg per day steadily and is going to be decreased, the CGM is conducted. At the same time, blood tests evaluating the glucose metabolism are measured, including HbA1c, GA, fasting insulin and fasting glucose. After taking 7.5mg prednisolone per day for 3 months, participants do the CGM and blood tests again to evaluate the glucose metabolism during this period. The CGM data could be used for the glucose evaluation, which can manifest the glucose characteristics in the circumstances of glucocorticoid use. By comparing the CGM data and the blood tests, the investigators hope to find the different features of the glucose metabolism due to different doses.

What is being measured

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

  1. The interstitial glucose values measured by CGMS (continuous glucose measure service)

    A group of interstitial glucose values will be attained by the CGMS, the number of which count up to more than 1000. These data will undergo statistical process. CGM will be conducted twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months. The difference between the two group of data will be evaluated and discussed.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. fasting insulin

    The fasting insulin can evaluate the function of pancreatic beta cell to some extent. The fasting insulin will be evaluated twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and when the participants take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. fasting glucose

    The fasting glucose could evaluate the glucose metabolism to some extent. The fasting glucose will be evaluated twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and when the participants take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. fasting C peptide

    The fasting C peptide could evaluate the function of pancreatic beta cell to some extent. The fasting C peptide will be evaluated twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and when the participants take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. HbA1c

    HbA1c could reflect the average blood glucose for 3 months. The HbA1c will be evaluated twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and when the participants take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Glycated albumin

    The glycated albumin could evaluate the average blood glucose in the previous 2 weeks to 1 month. The glycated albumin will be evaluated twice when the participants take 15mg prednisolone stably and when the participants take 7.5mg prednisolone for 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Lung Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 1 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 11 Jul 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jiapei Li, MD (+8618510685269, nemoljp@sina.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The interstitial glucose values measured by CGMS (continuous glucose measure service) (time frame: 3 months). 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 11 Jul 2016.
