About this study

Official title: Visualizing Beta Cells After Intrahepatic Islet of Langerhans Transplantation

In patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) that have undergone islet of Langerhans transplantation or are on the waiting list for transplantation, Ga-68-exendin PET imaging is performed to study the visualization of transplanted islet grafts in patients.

Read the detailed description

Detecting damage to islets with a reliable imaging technique could be important for improving islet survival after transplantation. This could lead to better patient outcomes which would be of great interest for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. In order to assess the possibility of visualizing transplanted islet grafts with Ga-68-NODAGA-exendin-4 PET, a proof-of -concept study is performed in 10 patients with type 1 diabetes who have undergone intrahepatic islet transplantation with biochemically proven functional islet grafts and 5 patients with type 1 diabetes who are on the waiting list for islet transplantation. The investigators propose to determine the uptake of the radiolabeled tracer and compare it to functionality of the islet grafts. These highly relevant data will provide us with more information on the suitability of GLP-1 receptor imaging for monitoring of transplanted islet mass.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hepatic uptake of 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4

    Hepatic uptake of 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4 obtained by quantitative analysis

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Islet graft function

    Correlation of tracer uptake and islet graft function

    Measured: 1 year

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted24 Dec 2018
  2. Study start6 Jun 2016
  3. Primary completion27 May 2021
  4. Study completion27 May 2021

Why it stopped: Suitable participants have complicated T1D, often with serious complications, participation is therefore challenging. Participants also fall within an unique group and few suitable individuals were available for inclusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands, Sweden. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Suitable participants have complicated T1D, often with serious complications, participation is therefore challenging. Participants also fall within an unique group and few suitable individuals were available for inclusion.). 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?

Hepatic uptake of 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4 (time frame: 1 year). 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 14 Feb 2022.
