Lipid Metabolism in Gestational Diabetes
An observational study of Gestational Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia, run by Baystate Medical Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if, during pregnancy, women with GDM have an exaggerated lipid response compared to non-gestational diabetics. If a difference is noted, further studies will explore the possibility of screening gestational diabetics during their pregnancy for hyperlipidemia to determine… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Study of Lipid Metabolism in Gestational Diabetes
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if, during pregnancy, women with GDM have an exaggerated lipid response compared to non-gestational diabetics. If a difference is noted, further studies will explore the possibility of screening gestational diabetics during their pregnancy for hyperlipidemia to determine if prenatal screening can predict postpartum risk for hyperlipidemia. In addition the relationship, if any between maternal lipid dysfunction and placental disease will be explored.
This will be a prospective cohort study. As part of routine prenatal care, women receive a one hour glucose challenge test to screen for gestational diabetes. Those women with elevated values then require a three hour glucose tolerance test, which is a diagnostic test for gestational diabetes. All women that are scheduled to receive a three hour GTT will be identified and ask to enroll in this study. 46 women whose three hour GTT is normal and thus do not have GDM, will be compared to 46 women with an abnormal three hour GTT and thus would have the diagnosis of GDM. Enrolled women will have a lipid panel consisting of; total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol at the time of their fasting glucose blood sample. In addition, a repeat lipid panel will be sent at the time of the third hour sample, to assess changes, if any due to the glucose challenge. Umbilical cord blood samples will be sent in order to obtain newborn lipid profiles. Women in both the GDM and normal groups will be asked to return 6-8 weeks

- Experimental Design, Methodology and Expected Results
Study Design:
We propose a prospective cohort design.
Study Population:
All women that are scheduled to receive a three hour GTT to rule out gestational diabetes would be identified and ask to enroll in this study. Specifically, eligible patients will be women who failed their glucose challenge test (GCT) and are scheduled for the follow-up three hour glucose tolerance test (GTT). The GCT is routinely performed among all prenatal care patients at 24-28 wks gestation. The 3 hour GTT requires patients to be fasting overnight. A fasting blood glucose is sampled, and the patients are given a 100 gram glucose drink. Serum glucose samples are then taken at one, two and three hours after the glucose loading. The "exposed" group will be defined as women diagnosed with GDM (elevated glucose values on two or more samples in the three hour GTT). The "unexposed" group will be defined as women with no abnormal glucose values in the three hour GTT.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Gestational Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia, run by Baystate Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 11 Sep 2013. 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.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Sep 2013). 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?
Cholesterol (time frame: Postpartum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 11 Sep 2013.
