What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • exercise testing with near-infrared spectroscopyBehavioural

    subjects will sit on the ergometer, resting heart rate and BP will be measured for at least 2 minutes. Before testing, each participant will be informed to perform cycling with 0 watt for 2 minutes. Then, exercise testing will be started at 30 watt, and increase 15 watt in male and 10 watt in female every minute until the termination criteria achieved.

  • lung function testingBehavioural

    spirometry testing: Each participant will then place mouthpiece in mouth and close lips around the mouthpiece. Participants will inhale completely and rapidly and then exhale maximally until no more air could be expelled while maintaining an upright position. Values of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) and FVC (forced vital capacity) will be calculated immediately after the exhalation.

    single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity: Participants will sit on a firm and nose clips will then be attached and mouthpiece be placed in mouth. After participants perform several stable breathes, testing starts with a complete exhalation. Each participant will be instructed to inhale rapidly and completely and then hold for 10 seconds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 8 Mar 2013. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

exercise testing with near-infrared spectroscopy (time frame: at baseline). 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 NCT01727661, which also lists 2 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 Mar 2013.
