Trial summary

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an international healthcare crisis and produced a large healthcare burden. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that can be controlled via pharmacologic agents; however, many patients have poor glycemic control, leading to disease-related complications.

About this study

Official title: Impaired Insulin Regulation Determining Severity of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COVID-19 Infection Confounded by Ethnicity

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an international healthcare crisis and produced a large healthcare burden. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that can be controlled via pharmacologic agents; however, many patients have poor glycemic control, leading to disease-related complications. Diabetes mellitus has been reported in the literature to be associated with increasing morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, and some hypothesize that this is due to insulin dysregulation propagating a pro-inflammatory state. The investigators aim to contribute to the growing body of literature that assesses the associations between glucose homeostasis and COVID-19 disease severity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by an infection from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and the first case in the United States was documented on January 31, 2020. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a RNA virus that has 82% homology with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which caused a pandemic in 2003. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 enters cells via the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is primarily expressed in the lung. COVID-19 has led to a worldwide pandemic, with over six million deaths attributed to the virus, according to the World Health Organization. This emerging infection has caused an international healthcare crisis with a significant burden on healthcare workers.

Advanced age, male sex, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus are known to be associated with increasing risk for COVID-19 severity and mortality. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that affects the general population by disrupting glucose homeostasis. Impaired glycemic control produces a state of hyperglycemia, which leads to multi-organ injury via a chronic, pathophysiologic inflammatory state. Early retrospective studies demonstrated the association of insulin dysregulation with COVID-19 disease severity and mortality. With more data availability and time, many studies have been conducted to better characterize the relationships between hyperglycemia and elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with COVID-19 disease susceptibility, severity, and mortality.

Through this retrospective analysis, the investigators investigate the associations of HbA1c levels and hyperglycemia with COVID-19 mortality and disease severity.

An observational study of COVID-19 and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Arrowhead Regional Medical Center 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 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 9 Jun 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 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?

Length of hospital stay (time frame: Total time frame was 360 days). 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 NCT05897528, which also lists 4 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 9 Jun 2023.
