About this study

Diabetic pregnant patients are at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, including larger than expected fetuses and unplanned operative deliveries, due to elevated blood glucose levels. the one-hour glucola test is currently used to screen pregnant patients for gestational diabetes. This involves ingesting a 50-gram glucose load, followed by a blood test one hour later. We wish to compare 7-day continuous glucose monitoring to the one-hour glucola test, and determine which one correlates better with adverse pregnancy outcomes as well as which one more accurately identifies patients at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Read the detailed description

All pregnant patients without pre-existing diabetes will be eligible for the study. Interest in participation will be determined at their initial prenatal visit. Those that are interested will be consented. Between 24-28 weeks of gestation, the recommended period of glucola testing, a soft sensor for continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) will be inserted superficially under the skin. The patient will be instructed on how to wear and care for the device. She will wear the CGMS for 7 days, then return to the clinic for removal of the device, and downloading of the data. She will perform the routine glucola test sometime between days 2 to 7 . Finger stick blood glucoses will be checked by the patient 2 times daily during the 7 days of wearing the CGMS. Results of CGMS will not be available to the patient or her physician until after completion of the pregnancy. The patient will be treated routinely, based on the results of the routine glucola test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation Between Glucose AUC and Birth Weight.

    For each patient's CGM data, we calculated the total area under the curve (AUC) for values above the predefined cutoffs of 110, 120, 130, 140, and 180 mg/dL. Patients wore the CGM for different amounts of time; therefore, the total AUC for the entire duration of CGM use was divided by the number of 24-hour periods of data collection. We called these normalized values "AUC-110," "AUC-120," "AUC-130," "AUC-140," and "AUC-180," and they reflect both the magnitude and duration of hyperglycemic excursions above the predetermined thresholds in an average 24-hour period. Birth weight percentile was determined using birth weight data derived from 1999 and 2000 United States Natality datasets. The correlation coefficient (r) was calculated between birth weight percentiles and each of the following: AUC-110, AUC-120, AUC-130, AUC-140, AUC-180, and 1-hour GCT result.

    Measured: CGM measured 7 days at beginning of pregnancy,birth weight measured a time of delivery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pregnancy and Delivery Characteristics for Participants With AUC-130 <= 22,000 and AUC-130 > 22,000

    For our secondary outcome analyses,we chose to focus on AUC-130 because 130 mg/dL is a common threshold used when treating gestational diabetics. In addition, 130 mg/dL was the threshold used in an earlier pilot study performed at our institution because it had the best correlation with birth weight percentile.

    Secondary outcomes were compared between these two groups using the chi-square test. Data were analyzed using Stata 11.2. AUC-130 values were divided into "high" and "low" at a cutoff of 22,000, which was the 90th percentile of AUC-130 values.

    Measured: CGM measured 7 days at beginning of pregnancy,birth weight measured a time of delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing The Seven Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in people with Diabetes, Gestational, run by Stanford University at 2 sites 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 3 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 19 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2016). 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?

Correlation Between Glucose AUC and Birth Weight. (time frame: CGM measured 7 days at beginning of pregnancy,birth weight measured a time of delivery). 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 NCT00850135, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2016.
