About this study

Official title: Predictive Effect of TGF-β Combined With INS-PI3K-AKT Signaling Pathway Related Proteins (ADNP, MAP6, Pgc-1α) for POD in Diabetes Patients

To investigate the relationship between POD, TGF-β and INS-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway related proteins (ADNP, MAP6, PGC-1α) in diabetic patients

Read the detailed description

The study was a two-center, prospective,single blind (blinded to subjects and evaluators),control, observational clinical study. Participants will collect 3 milliliters of blood from enrolled patients before surgery begins. The collected blood samples were processed and stored in -80℃ refrigerator. All samples were tested TGF-β and INS-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway related proteins (ADNP, MAP6, PGC-1α) by ELISA.

What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation between preoperative plasma levels of TGF-β, ADNP, MAP6, PGC-1α and the incidence of delirium within 3 days after operation was analyzed.

    Postoperative delirium (POD) was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) and the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method-Defined Delirium (3D-CAM).

    Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), microtubule-associated protein 6 (MAP6), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits.

    Measured: 2024-05 to 2026-06

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Postoperative Delirium, run by Xie Kangjie at 2 sites in China.

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 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Kangjie Xie, MD (8613516721870, xiekj@zjcc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation between preoperative plasma levels of TGF-β, ADNP, MAP6, PGC-1α and the incidence of delirium within 3 days after operation was analyzed. (time frame: 2024-05 to 2026-06). 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 29 Sep 2025.
