About this study

The purpose of this study is to quantitate hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in youth with poorly-controlled type 1 diabetes (T1D) (HbA1c >8.5%), youth with T1D who achieve targeted glycemic control (HbA1c <7.5%) and lean controls. Hypothesis: Youth with poor glycemic control experience higher fractional hepatic DNL during the fasting and the postprandial states than youth who achieve targeted glycemic control and lean controls.

Read the detailed description

What is not known, is whether hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) contributes to dyslipidemia in this in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that an enhanced rate of DNL largely contributes to dyslipidemia occurring in youth with poorly-controlled T1D. According to this hypothesis, youth with poorly-regulated T1D experience a state of persistent insulin independent, highly variable fluctuations of glucose, and other sugars, through the glycolytic pathway that result in an enhancement of hepatic DNL and an increased production of triglycerides (TG). Newly-formed TG are packaged into large-VLDL that are secreted into the circulation contributing to an increase in plasma TG. When the TG concentration in the hepatocytes exceeds the ability of the liver to secrete TG, the latter start accumulating leading to hepatic steatosis.

What participants receive

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

  • Oral Glucose Tolerance TestDiagnostic test

    Each participant consumes a dinner scaled to his/her energy needs which is prepared by the metabolic kitchen. Dinner will be provided beforehand if patient does this portion at home. The participant consumes the first of three doses of D2O. Two additional doses of D20 are given at on day 1 and on day 2. The total D2O given (3 ml per kg of body water) is designed to raise body deuterium levels to 0.3% and is administered as described above to maintain steady state until the end of the study. At the HRU, an IV catheter will be inserted in order to collect blood to assess DNL. Blood draws begin during the fasting state to assess basal rates of DNL and then for six hours after the consumption of a glucose/fructose beverage (75g glucose and 25g fructose ) to assess postprandial rates of DNL. Blood draws will be taken 15 minutes before ingestion of the sugar beverage, then for every half hour for 6 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in people with Type 1 Diabetes and De Novo Lipogenesis, run by Yale University 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2023. 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 was stopped early (reason given: During the pandemic the funding agency stopped funding studies.). 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?

Fractional hepatic DNL (time frame: Baseline to Six 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 NCT04101045, 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 13 Feb 2023.
