About this study

Official title: Determining the Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Metabolic Control in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

The strict rules applied in Italy during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, with the prohibition to attend any regular outdoor activity, are likely to influence the degree of metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this observational, prospective, single centre study was to evaluate the immediate impact of the lockdown rules on the metabolic profile of a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

All the patients with type 2 diabetes who were previously scheduled for a follow-up visit in our outpatient diabetes clinic during the lockdown for COVID-19 (March 9, 2020-May 04, 2020) were contacted by phone. Patients who accepted to take part of the study received a medical prescription for routine analysis via email. They were asked to perform blood drawing one week after the end of the lockdown period and transmitted us the results.

We then compared the metabolic profile tested one week after the end of the lockdown with the last value and the mean of the last three determinations performed before the pandemic emergency.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose

    Blood glucose was expressed in mg/dl and was determined by standard techniques.

    Measured: One week after the end of the lockdown period

  2. HbA1c

    HbA1c was expressed as percentage or mmol/l and was determined by standard techniques.

    Measured: One week after the end of the lockdown period

  3. Lipid profile

    Complete lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Triglcerydes) were expressed in mg/dl or mmol/l and were determined by standard techniques.

    Measured: One week after the end of the lockdown period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Control, run by University of Pisa at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 6 Aug 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Glucose (time frame: One week after the end of the lockdown period). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04501991, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 6 Aug 2020.
