About this study

The study aims to obtain a panel of biomarkers from hypoglycemic diabetic patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetics and from control patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who didn't have hypoglycemia in the last 72 hours.

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoint is establishing a panel of biomarkers from 100 hypoglycemic diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes during the incidence of hypoglycemia by taking a single blood sample to be analyzed for HbA1c, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, CRP, CBC and biochemical analysis including liver and kidney function tests. In addition to 5 ml serum sample to be centrifuged and stored in RCSI lab.

Inpatient hypoglycemic patients may also be included in group of hypoglycemia and will be required to have a serial of blood samples taken to be analyzed on the 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour and 4th hour after the hypoglycemic event.

Secondary endpoint involves recruitment of 100 control Diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes to establish a panel of biomarkers by obtaining a blood sample for the HbA1c, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, CRP, CBC and biochemical analysis including liver and kidney function tests to include 50 subjects fasting overnight and the other 50 subjects to be non-fasting but without having hypoglycemia at the time of recruitment or in the last 72 hours.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06652867
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hypoglycemic diabetic patientsHypoglycemic diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes recruited during the incidence of hypoglycemia with awareness of the time when hypoglycemia occurred.
Control group of non-hypoglycemic diabetic patients.Type 1 or type 2 diabetic subjects who don't have hypoglycemia at the time of recruitment or in the last 72 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentrations of a Panel of Protein Biomarkers in hypoglycemic subjects

    a panel of biomarkers is measured from a blood test taken during the incidence of hypoglycemia from type 1 or type 2 Diabetic subject.

    Measured: 1 day from time of presentation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Concentrations of a Panel of Protein Biomarkers Reference Ranges from non-hypoglycemic diabetic subjects

    a panel of biomarkers is measured from a blood test taken from Diabetic subjects (type 1 or type 2) without having hypoglycemia.

    Measured: 3 days from time of presentation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoglycemia, run by Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland - Medical University of Bahrain at 1 site in Bahrain.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2024. 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 Bahrain. 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?

Concentrations of a Panel of Protein Biomarkers in hypoglycemic subjects (time frame: 1 day from time of presentation). 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 NCT06652867, which also lists 16 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 22 Oct 2024.
