About this study

Aims: To profile the oral microbiome of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and to compare it to healthy children while taking into account other aspects of the oral environment.

Research: exploring the differences between oral microflora of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and control healthy children using salivary microbiome. The investigators will furthermore intend to analyze the differences of salivary flow rate, pH, glucose, calcium, inorganic phosphate and urea between the two groups.

Read the detailed description

Saliva from 50 children ages 5 to 15 years old who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus and are followed at the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic, Hadassah University Hospital Mt. Scopus and Ein Kerem, Jerusalem, Isreal, will be compared to 50 healthy children, preferably their siblings, matched in age and gender. Each patient or their legal guardian will sign an informed consent to participate in the study. The investigators will request a permission to access the medical records of the patients. Data will be collected from patient medical history. The investigators will measure salivary flow rate, pH and glucose, salivary Calcium, inorganic phosphate and urea and perform microbiome analysis and 16S rRNA gene-based analysis comparing children with diabetes to healthy children.

What is being measured

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

  1. profile the oral bacteria related to caries and periodontal disease of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus

    Profile salivary microbiota in diabetic children followed by bioinformatics analyses and combining the data with the alteration in caries index, medications, state of the disease and salivary components to give a list of specific bacteria that are different in the diabetic child from healthy population.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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 29 Mar 2022. 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 Israel. 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?

profile the oral bacteria related to caries and periodontal disease of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (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 29 Mar 2022.
