  • Ages 4 to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Sixty to 80 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will have neuropsychological testing and a non-sedated MRI scan of the head performed. We will compare this to a control group of 30-40 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years without Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Who may be able to join

  • To take part in the study, the participant must meet the following inclusion criteria:
  • Be between the ages of 4 to 17 years.
  • Either has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus OR does not have type 1 diabetes mellitus

Who cannot join

  • If the interested participant has a history of head trauma with any loss of consciousness, prematurity (born less than 30 weeks of gestation), significant developmental delay (lack of single word speech or ability to walk independently by 18 months of age), neurologic disease independent of diabetes (eg seizure disorder or medical contraindication to MRI procedure (eg metal appliances such as braces).

About this study

Official title: Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Its Impact on Neurocognition

About the Study: This research study is being conducted to see if diabetic ketoacidosis has any impact on learning, behavior and development in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. If there is an impact, is it transient or persistent? Sixty to 80 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will have neuropsychological testing and a non-sedated MRI scan of the head performed. The investigators will compare this to a control group of 30-40 children between the ages of 4 to 17 years without Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus will not have any changes made to their current diabetes regimen. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus should continue to check blood glucose values as required by your doctor and bring their meter(s) for downloading to each visit. The children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus should also tell your doctor about the frequency of severe low and high blood glucose values.

Participant Schedule:

  1. One visit for 3-4 hours at the Stanford Medical Center to complete neuropsychological testing and to become familiar with the MRI scanner.
  2. Subjects who need to become more familiar with the MRI scanning process will view a video tape at home.
  3. One visit for 1-2 hours at Stanford Medical Center to have the MRI scan of the head completed.
  4. Subjects between 10 and 17 years of age will also be asked to complete two additional abbreviated neuropsychological tests at one week and one month from enrollment.
  5. Subjects may have the complete neuropsychological testing and MRI scan repeated 15 months from time of enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Memory score on ImPACT testing

    The computerized electronic testing generates a standardized test score at the complete of the test. The scores will be compared from enrollment, one week, one month and at 3 months. The change in score from enrollment to one week with be the main number used for analysis

    Measured: 15 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. White matter volume on MRI using diffusion tensor imaging

    Values will be calculated according to manuscript by Aye et al in Diabetes Care Sept 2012 electronically published ahead; available on line

    Measured: 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Stanford University 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2019. 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 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?

Memory score on ImPACT testing (time frame: 15 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 NCT01753934, 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 13 Nov 2019.
