About this study

Official title: Plasma Transthyretin Levels and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Impaired Glucose Regulation in a Chinese Population

Objective: To investigate the association between plasma transthyretin levels and risk of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in a Chinese population.

Design: We performed a case-control study, including 1,244 newly diagnosed T2DM patients, 837 newly diagnosed IGR patients, and 1,244 individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The diagnostic criteria were recommended by World Health Organization in 1999. All cases were recruited from patients who, for the first time, received a diagnosis of T2DM in the Department of Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Wuhan, China, from December 2010 to December 2016. Concomitantly, general population undergoing a routine health checkup in the same hospital were enrolled as controls. The inclusion criteria were age ≥ 30 years, BMI < 40 kg/m2, and no history of diagnosis of diabetes or receiving pharmacological treatment for hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Participants with clinically significant neurological, endocrinological, psychological or other systemic diseases, as well as acute illness or chronic inflammatory or infectious diseases, were excluded from the present study. Written informed consent was obtained from each participant. Besides, cases were stringently matched to controls in a 1:1 ratio, based on sex and age (± 3 years). All participants enrolled were of Han ethnicity, and gave a commitment of taking no medication known affecting glucose tolerance or insulin secretion before participating in the study. Fasting blood samples were collected in EDTA-anticoagulative tubes and separated for plasma within 1 h. Then plasma was kept at -80℃ prior to analyses. Plasma transthyretin levels were measured by BS 200 Autoanalyser (Mindray, Shenzhen, China) using immunoturbidimetric method.

Study groups in NCT05370560
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Type 2 diabetes mellitusIn this case-control study, T2DM was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria recommended by the WHO in 1999. T2DM was confirmed when fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L and/or 2-h post-glucose load (OGTT2h) ≥ 11.1 mmol/L.
Receives: Other: Plasma transthyretin concentration
Impaired glucose regulationIn this case-control study, IGR was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria recommended by the WHO in 1999. IGR was defined as impaired fasting glucose ([FPG] ≥ 6.1 mmol/L and < 7.0 mmol/L, and [OGTT2h] < 7.8 mmol/L) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (FPG < 7.0 mmol/L, and OGTT2h ≥ 7.8 mmol/L and < 11.1 mmol/L).
Receives: Other: Plasma transthyretin concentration
ControlThose with FPG < 6.1 mmol/L and OGTT2h < 7.8 mmol/L were considered controls.
Receives: Other: Plasma transthyretin concentration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Impaired Glucose Regulation, run by Liegang Liu.

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 11 May 2022. 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. 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?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (time frame: From December 2010 to December 2016). 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 11 May 2022.
