Trial summary

Background: Diabetes is a disease defined by abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Glucose is an essential source of energy for the body s cells, but insulin is required to move the glucose into the cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Background:

  • Diabetes is a disease defined by abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Glucose is an essential source of energy for the body s cells, but insulin is required to move the glucose into the cells. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter cells.
  • In diabetes, the body is unable to supply enough insulin to meet its demands. The problem may be a low supply of insulin or a high demand for insulin. Someone who has been diagnosed with diabetes has lost much of their insulin-producing capacity. Clinical studies have shown that good control of blood sugar is essential to prevent diabetes complications like damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.

Objectives:

  • To establish a relationship with several individuals with diabetes caused by the immune system attacking the body s insulin-producing cells in order to:
  • Explore why the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.
  • Understand why some individuals develop diabetes-related complications and others do not.
  • Develop therapies to improve how patients can control their blood sugar levels.
  • Continue to follow subjects who have completed or are considering other NIH diabetes-related studies.
  • To develop improved tests for determining an individual s risk for developing diabetes and/or to accurately diagnose the exact type of diabetes.

Eligibility:

  • Individuals who have been diagnosed with or are at risk for developing diabetes.

Design:

  • Standard physical examination and clinical tests to determine if the patient has diabetes or to confirm a particular type of diabetes:
  • None of the treatment in this study is experimental.
  • Patients will receive a separate consent form for any special tests needed to learn more about their particular type of diabetes.
  • Patients may be asked to provide additional urine and blood samples for use in laboratory research about diabetes.
  • Researchers may offer medical treatment advice for diabetes, or explain how to improve patients diabetes management skills.
Read the detailed description

Individuals with known or suspected autoimmune mediated diabetes, or healthy individuals at risk for developing the disease, will be evaluated at the NIH Clinical Center. Studies will include characterizing the disease s clinical and laboratory features, observing the natural history of the disease and its complications, evaluating responses to standard treatments. Protocol enrollees may be asked to contribute blood and/or urine samples for immunological research studies, and/or for studies designed to find parameters that increase a subject s risk for diabetes and/or its associated complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) 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 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: All analysis with identifiable specimens/data is complete or site has no identifiers linked to the specimens/data). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Blood glucose level (time frame: every 3 months). 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 NCT00896610, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
