Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female patient between the age of 12 and 17 years inclusive at time of entry into study (i.e., after their 12th but before their 18th birthday)
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus for no more than 10 days
  • pubertal (Tanner stage 2 or above)
  • The patient and parents or guardians should be able to do simple math calculations (necessary for pump management)
  • Parent or legal guardian must give signed informed consent

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of the Effect of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Adolescents With Newly-diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes on Insulin Resistance, Beta-cell Function and the Honeymoon Period.

Within 4 weeks after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, 10 subjects (pubertal males, 12-17 years old) will be randomized to either receive multiple daily injection (MDI) using Lantus insulin, or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII; pump therapy). The study evaluates how these modes of therapy affect insulin sensitivity (measured by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies and adiponectin concentration changes) and beta cell function (measured by mixed meal tolerance testing).

Read the detailed description

Within 4 weeks after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, 10 subjects (pubertal males, 12-17 years old) will be randomized to either receive multiple daily injection (MDI) using Lantus insulin, or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII; pump therapy). The proposed protocol compares the changes in diabetes control between pump therapy and MDI treatment groups. More importantly, however, the study evaluates how these modes of therapy may affect the honeymoon period and glycemic control, specifically focusing on changes in insulin sensitivity (measured by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies and adiponectin concentration changes) and beta cell function (measured by mixed meal tolerance testing). Demonstrating that pump therapy at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes prolongs the honeymoon phase by improving insulin sensitivity and beta cell function may have important therapeutic implications that could influence the standard of care in pediatric diabetes.

What participants receive

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

Receives: Drug: Multiple daily injections using insulin glargine + rapid acting analog

What is being measured

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

  1. Insulin Sensitivity

    Insulin sensitivity - glucose infusion rate (GIR) obtained from hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Higher GIR reflects higher insulin sensitivity, lower GIR reflects lower insulin sensitivity.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Beta Cell Function

    Beta cell function as assessed by peak c-peptide using mixed meal tolerance testing

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hemoglobin A1c

    Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (%)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Percent Body Fat

    Percent body fat based on DEXA scan (%BF)

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insulin pump therapy and Multiple daily injections using insulin glargine + rapid acting analog in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent, run by Nemours Children's Clinic 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 5 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: finished, 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jul 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Insulin Sensitivity (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
