Trial summary

The objective of the proposed study is to assess gastric emptying time (GET) based on contrast-enhanced multispectral optoacoustic imaging (CE-MSOT) in a collective of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

About this study

The objective of the proposed study is to assess gastric emptying time (GET) based on contrast-enhanced multispectral optoacoustic imaging (CE-MSOT) in a collective of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The results will be correlated with disease duration and severity.

Read the detailed description

T1DM is a chronic autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies destroy the pancreas's insulin-producing cells. In Germany, it is estimated that 32,000 children and adolescents and approximately 335,000 adults suffer from T1DM. The trend has been increasing in recent years.

A complication of T1DM is diabetic gastroparesis (DGP), in which gastric emptying is delayed without mechanical obstruction. Symptoms of DGP include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Many patients* are asymptomatic.

DGP is associated with higher HbA1c, autonomic neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and increased gastrointestinal symptoms.

In this study, gastric emptying will be imaged noninvasively and without radiation based on MSOT. MSOT, in addition to imaging endogenous chromophores, allows visualization of exogenous chromophores. If the dye indocyanine green (ICG) is ingested orally, the signal of the dye in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract can be visualized noninvasively by MSOT over different intestinal segments. If food is labeled with ICG and ingested by subjects*, the passage of chyme through the gastrointestinal tract can be tracked by measuring the signal with MSOT, and transit times can be measured.

This study will investigate gastric emptying times of patients* with T1DM.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric emptying time

    Gastric emptying time based on MSOT imaging of ICG-signal intensity

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of acquired hemoglobin signal with disease activity

    Hemoglobin-associated parameters (units: arbitrary units (a.u.)) derived by transcutaneous MSOT correlated with disease activity

    Measured: 6 hours

  2. Correlation of acquired hemoglobin signal with disease duration

    Hemoglobin-associated parameters (units: arbitrary units (a.u.)) derived by transcutaneous MSOT correlated with disease duration

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in people with Diabetic Gastroparesis, run by University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 7 Jul 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ferdinand Knieling (+4991318541151, ferdinand.knieling@uk-erlangen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gastric emptying time (time frame: 6 hours). 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 7 Jul 2023.
