About this study

Official title: Assessment of Calcium Metabolism in Adolescent Girls With Type 1 Diabetes

The proposed pilot study will enroll 33 adolescent females with type 1 diabetes for the assessment of whole body calcium metabolism using dual stable calcium isotopes. This is the state of the art technique for assessing calcium metabolism in the body and has been used in both healthy and diseased pediatric populations.

What participants receive

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

  • calcium isotope analysisDiagnostic test

    A dual stable calcium isotope method will be used to determine fractional calcium absorption. Two stable calcium isotopes will be administered to participants in order to determine fractional calcium absorption. 7 mg of 44Ca will be administered orally in 60 mL of liquid at the start of the study. 2 mg of 42Ca will then be administered intravenously. 24 hour urine collection will begin immediately following oral tracer administration for the assessment of urinary calcium excretion. The enrichment of 44Ca and 42Ca in urine will be determined by magnetic sector thermal ionization mass spectrometry. The isotopic ratios of 44Ca and 42Ca to 48Ca (another naturally occurring calcium isotope present in the human body) will be calculated (42Ca/48Ca and 44Ca/48Ca). The relative fraction of the oral to intravenously administered isotope in the 24 hour urine sample [(42Ca/48Ca) / (44Ca/48Ca)] is the fractional calcium absorption.

What is being measured

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

  1. fractional calcium absorption

    Mass spectroscopy was performed using urine to measure the stable calcium isotope. Percent dietary calcium absorption was calculated as the ratio of the cumulative recovery of 44Ca (oral tracer) to the cumulative recovery of 42Ca (IV tracer) in the 24-hour urine sample.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Estimated calcium retention

    Gastrointestinal calcium absorption minus the total of urine calcium excretion and estimated stool calcium excretion.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by University of Rochester 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 17 May 2017. 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?

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?

fractional calcium absorption (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT03156179, 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 17 May 2017.
