Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that subcutaneous pramlintide as an adjunct to mealtime insulin immediately prior to meals can significantly reduce post-prandial glucose concentrations compared with mealtime insulin alone in children with type 1 diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Pramlintide in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

The investigators hypothesize that subcutaneous pramlintide as an adjunct to mealtime insulin immediately prior to meals can significantly reduce post-prandial glucose concentrations compared with mealtime insulin alone in children with type 1 diabetes.

This is a 36 day, randomized, two-arm, open-label study with a treatment arm (taking pramlintide before all meals) and a control arm (diabetes regimen as usual).

Read the detailed description

Participants aged 13-17 years who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for more than 1 year will be invited to participate.Other inclusion factors are:

  • HbA1c level between 7.5 and 10% inclusive
  • Currently using carbohydrate to insulin ratio
  • Acceptable form of birth control

Exclusion factors:

  • Oral hyperglycemic agents or medications which might affect blood sugar levels
  • Recurrent severe hypoglycemia requiring assistance in previous 6 months
  • Diagnosis of gastroparesis and/or require use of drugs that stimulate gastrointestinal motility
  • Previous use of pramlintide

The study consists of 2 overnight stays at the CTRC where a continuous glucose monitoring system will be worn for twenty-four hours. Blood will be drawn 15 minutes prior to start of each meal and for three hours following each meal. Meals will be controlled for carbohydrate, fat and protein content. Meals will be identical at each CTRC visit.

After a baseline visit for all participants, randomization will occur to either Treatment or Control.Bolus insulin will be adjusted for participants when beginning pramlintide and will likely remain at a reduced rate throughout the trial. All participants will have access to staff to assist with insulin dosing. There will be six mandatory phone visits over the 36 days to ensure the safety of participants in this study.

Insulin, glucose and glucagon levels will be assessed as well as pramlintide levels at final visit of the study. Hypoglycemic events will be tracked, as well as any other adverse events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pramlintide in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2015. 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 19 Oct 2012). 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?

HbA1c Value After 28 Days (time frame: 28). 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 NCT00842075, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
