About this study

Type I diabetes (T1DM) is the second most common chronic illness effecting children in the USA. Worldwide, Type I diabetes is increasing in incidence, and its underlying etiology remains elusive. Nevertheless, recent data supports the notion that early and intensive management of Type I diabetes can 1) decrease long-term complications of diabetes; and 2) may significantly improve beta cell function and insulin secretion over ensuing years. To this end, we propose using insulin pump therapy to preserve and/or enhance residual endogenous B-cell secretory capacity among patients with newly diagnosed Type 1 DM. Furthermore, we anticipate that early use of an insulin pump will improve glycemic control beyond that achieved with standard multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy, and will be well-tolerated by the patient. These data will provide important pilot information to explore the potential role of intensive insulin pump therapy in the treatment of children newly diagnosed with Type I diabetes. The specific aim of this study is to test the following hypothesis: Early use of insulin pump therapy is effective in preserving or enhancing residual endogenous pancreatic B-cell secretory capacity among patients with newly diagnosed T1DM: Moreover, early use of an insulin pump will improve glycemic control beyond that achieved with standard multiple injection therapy, and will be well-tolerated by the patient.

  2. Changes in Daily Insulin Requirements Over Time

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MDI (split-mix NPH insulin + regular insulin or Lantus + Novolog® [or Humalog®]) and CSII (Animas Corporation insulin pump, model IR 1200) in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 13 Sep 2017. 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 9 Aug 2011). 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?

Change in Mixed-meal-stimulated Peak C-peptide Value (Via Mixed-meal Tolerance Test) After 12 Months of Insulin Pump Therapy, Compared With MDI. (time frame: 12 months). 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 13 Sep 2017.
