Trial summary

This project aimed to explore novel methods of detecting small blood vessel disease in a paediatric population with type 1 diabetes mellitus. To do this the techniques of Nailfold capillaroscopy, laser Doppler flowmetry, retinal (eye) vessel analysis and 24-hr Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring were used. Read more about this study

About this study

This project aimed to explore novel methods of detecting small blood vessel disease in a paediatric population with type 1 diabetes mellitus. To do this the techniques of Nailfold capillaroscopy, laser Doppler flowmetry, retinal (eye) vessel analysis and 24-hr Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring were used. Each of these techniques investigated different areas of small blood vessels around the body.

It was hypothesized that in a paediatric population with type 1 diabetes mellitus the novel investigations would be associated with small blood vessel disease and that widespread changes to these blood vessels would be detected through associations between the different novel investigations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by John Hunter Hospital at 1 site in Australia.

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 2 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 25 Jan 2011. 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 Australia. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01279928, 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 25 Jan 2011.
