Trial summary

This study proposes to examine the contribution of CFTR variants to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and hypoglycemic risk. Hypoglycemia is one the most frequent complications of type 1 diabetes management. Despite recent innovations, hypoglycemic risk remains high for people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D).

About this study

Official title: CFTR and Exocrine Pancreatic Dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetes

This study proposes to examine the contribution of CFTR variants to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and hypoglycemic risk. Hypoglycemia is one the most frequent complications of type 1 diabetes management. Despite recent innovations, hypoglycemic risk remains high for people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D). Recent studies have shown that pancreatic insufficiency could affect hypoglycemic risk. Up to now, there are limited data on the association between pancreatic insufficiency and glucose control (i.e. the frequency and severity of hypoglycemic episodes as well as HbA1c levels). The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of pancreatic insufficiency on glucose control in PWT1D, and to address the role of CFTR variants as potential contributors to pancreatic insufficiency.

Read the detailed description

In this a one year cross sectional study, we plan to enroll 100 adults living with type 1 diabetes.

Patient data will then be separated into two groups based the presence or absence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). EPI will be defined based on the levels of pancreatic enzymes (Amylase; lipase; and trypsinogen). As the prevalence of EPI in people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) is ~50%, we expect roughly the same number of individuals into both groups (with or without EPI).

Variables :

Subject data (age, gender, duration of diabetes, age at diagnostic, etc.) will be collected.

Glucose variation will be assessed with a continuous glucose monitoring system for 1 month. Briefly we will collect the number and severity of hyperglycemic events, average glucose levels, glycemic variability, etc..

From collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) we will quantify CFTR function and level of expression, as well as identify CFTR variants by next generation sequencing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, run by Ciusss de L'Est de l'Île de Montréal at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 Sep 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 Canada. 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?

Frequency and severity of hypoglycemic events (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Sep 2023.
