About this study

Official title: [11C]5-Hydroxy-tryptophan Positron Emission Tomography for Assessment of Islet Mass During Progression of Type 2 Diabetes

Cross-sectional study to investigate subjects at different stages of type 2 diabetes development with expected stratification of pancreatic islet mass. Non-diabetic individuals were assigned as control. The primary outcome was the [11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan uptake and retention in the pancreas as a surrogate marker for the endogenous islet mass.

What is being measured

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

  1. [11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan Uptake in the Pancreas

    Uptake of tracer with correlation to functional measurement with glucose-potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

    Measured: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pancreatic Perfusion

    Uptake of radioactive water with correlation to functional measurement with glucose-potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

    Measured: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

  2. Pancreatic Volume

    Measured: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

  3. Pancreatic Fat Content

    Measured: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

  4. Hepatic Fat Content

    Measured: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positron emission tomography with the tracer [11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan in people with Type2 Diabetes, run by Per-Ola Carlsson.

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 4 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 30 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 29 Nov 2017). 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?

[11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan Uptake in the Pancreas (time frame: Within two weeks after functional measurement with glucose potentiated arginine stimulation of insulin release). 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 NCT02967354, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jan 2018.
