About this study

Official title: Study on the Effect of Glucocorticoid Intervention on the Improvement of Blood Glucose in Patients With Exogenous Insulin Antibody Syndrome

Diabetic patients who have long-term insulin used can product antibody against exogenous insulin, the investigators named this condition Exogenous insulin antibody syndrome (EIAs). Exogenous insulin antibody can cause blood glucose fluctuation, high blood glucose and refractory hypoglycemia, and have a serious impact on the health of diabetic patients. After adding glucocorticoid, some EIAs patients can reduce insulin dosage, correct hypoglycemia, even eliminate insulin antibody in about half a year, and achieve the goal of blood glucose stability. But up to now, there is no study to evaluate the improvement of blood glucose by glucocorticoid intervention in EIAS patients receiving insulin therapy. This project plans to collect 20 cases of EIAS and carry out a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the improvement of blood glucose by glucocorticoid intervention.

Read the detailed description

Diabetic patients who have long-term insulin used can product antibody against exogenous insulin, the investigators named this condition Exogenous insulin antibody syndrome (EIAs).Exogenous insulin antibody can lead to serious clinical consequences , such as blood glucose fluctuations, high blood glucose and refractory hypoglycemia, which is not only affect patients' blood glucose control, but also have a serious impact on the health of diabetic patients. Change to the oral antidiabetic drugs, change the insulin type or add glucocorticoids to the patients with serious disease are the main treatments. However, most of these treatment schemes are case reports, and there is no randomized controlled cohort study on the treatment scheme. The biosynthetic human insulin sequence is exactly the same as that of human insulin. Why do some diabetics have insulin antibody? The investigators speculated that insulin antibody production in some patients with EIAs is related to autoimmune disorder. After adding glucocorticoid, some EIAs patients can reduce insulin dosage, correct hypoglycemia, even eliminate insulin antibody in about half a year, and achieve the goal of blood glucose stability. However, there is no study to evaluate the effect of glucocorticoid intervention on the improvement of blood glucose in the EIAs population. This project plans to collect 20 cases of EIAs and carry out a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the improvement of blood glucose by glucocorticoid intervention, so as to provide scientific basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of EIAs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Prednisone in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by chenfengling.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2020. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chen (021-56691101-6271, cfl1993@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with HbA1c <7% at 12 and 24 weeks (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 24 Apr 2020.
