About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of the SCOUT DS Device. Random Capillary Glucose and Leicester Diabetes Risk Score for Screening Subjects at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

The primary objective is to identify compare SCOUT DS to random capillary glucose for identification of at-risk subjects with dysglycemia defined by hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.0%.

Read the detailed description

The study will complete up to 330 subjects at the clinical site to evaluate the accuracy of SCOUT DS, random capillary glucose (RCG) and the Leicester diabetes risk questionnaire for detecting prediabetes and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in subjects at risk, but not having a pre-exiting diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. A point of care A1c measurement (Siemens DCA Vantage or Axis-Shield Afinion) will serve as the reference method for defining a positive screen (A1c ≥ 6.0%).

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin A1c

    A point of care A1c measurement will serve as the reference method for defining pre-diabetes (6.0% ≤ A1c ≤6.4%) and diabetes (A1c ≥ 6.5%)

    The study will require one visit by each subject to the clinical site. The visit does not require fasting and can be done any time of day. The study (not including the IRB process and recruiting) is expected to last 6 months.

    The target cohort comprises persons at risk for pre-diabetes and/or type 2 diabetes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by VeraLight, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 14 inclusion and 12 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 6 Jul 2012. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin A1c (time frame: Up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Jul 2012.
