What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of dietary intervention on the development of islet autoantibodies

    Primary outcome is to compare the prevalence of iselt autoantibodies between children participating in the dietary intervention and the control group.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of dietary intervention on the development of Type 1 diabetes.

    Secondary outcome is to compare the prevalence of type 1 diabetes between children participating in the dietary intervention and the control group

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glutenfree diet during the first year of life in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Institut fur Diabetesforschung, Munich, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2010. 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 Germany. 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?

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?

Effect of dietary intervention on the development of islet autoantibodies (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01115621, which also lists 6 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 4 May 2010.
