About this study

Official title: Skin Tolerance of Medical Devices for Diabetes Monitoring and Treatment in Children With Type 1 Diabetes, an Observational, Retrospective, Single-center Study.

In view of the emergence over the last few years of adverse skin reactions caused by diabetes monitoring and treatment devices, which have become essential to the optimal management of these patients, it is necessary to determine the real prevalence of these side effects.

Here the investigators performed a prospective study about prevalence of skin reactions in a group of children with type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Justification :

  • The incidence of type 1 diabetes in children is increasing every year.
  • The use of blood glucose sensors has a positive impact on blood glucose control by limiting glucose variability, reducing hypoglycemia and improving long-term blood glucose control.
  • The first cases of allergic contact dermatitis secondary linked to the use of an insulin pump were identified in 1995.
  • Several recent studies report a high prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis caused to blood glucose sensors, but these studies are conducted on small samples and in most cases these samples include both adults and children.
  • The actual prevalence of children with adverse skin reactions secondary to their diabetes monitoring and treatment devices is probably underestimated
  • IBOA was the first responsible allergen identified in 2016. It is the most common allergen responsible for these allergic contact dermatitis3, but other allergens have also been identified recently.
  • It is difficult to say how many diabetic patients have ever developed a contact allergy to IBOA, or other acrylates, in their skin devices. Typically, the reaction does not appear until after prolonged use, usually after several months.
  • Very few studies have looked at the impact on children's quality of life. In view of the emergence over the last few years of adverse skin reactions caused by diabetes monitoring and treatment devices, which have become essential to the optimal management of these patients, it is necessary to determine the real prevalence of these side effects. The research of risk factors associated with the appearance of these lesions, as well as the impact on patient's quality of life is essential, so as to be able to prevent them and treat them if necessary.

General outline of the study:

Epidemiological, observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study carried out on a sample of the target population after collecting data both on questionnaires and in the patients' medical files. The questionnaires and the data sought in the patients' files will be collected over a period of 1 year, after obtaining the parents' non objection. The questionnaires will be distributed by the medical and paramedical team of the pediatric diabetes service of the Nancy CHRU. They will be hand-delivered to the physician leading the quarterly follow-up visit of the child's. No additional consultation will be undertaken.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of children,with current skin intolerance (eczema symptoms measured by questionnaire) to an insulin pump and/or blood glucose sensor assessed by an autoquestionnary.

    Prevalence of of children, under 18 years of age, with type 1 diabetes with current skin intolerance to an insulin pump and/or blood glucose sensor. Pruritus, erythema, scaling, vesicles, and scratching lesions that appear at the infusion set site location of blood glucose sensors and insulin pumps are considered skin intolerance. (evaluated by questionnaire)

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. - Prevalence of skin side effects (eczema symptoms measured by questionnaire) for sensors and insulin pumps each one taken.

    • Prevalence of skin side effects (eczema symptoms measured by questionnaire) for sensors and insulin pumps each one taken.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Search for risk factors associated with skin side effect

    Odds ratio calculated for risk factors suspected in skin reaction

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cutaneous Allergy and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact emeline RENARD, PhD (+33323155311, e.renard@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of children,with current skin intolerance (eczema symptoms measured by questionnaire) to an insulin pump and/or blood glucose sensor assessed by an autoquestionnary. (time frame: 24 months). 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 6 Jul 2023.
