About this study

Our objective is to assess whether pre-treatment with a fixed dose of insulin, based on weight, given to pregnant patients with gestational or preexisting diabetes receiving betamethasone can provide adequate glycemic control.

Our hypothesis is that pre-treatment with a weight-based calculated insulin dose will help maintain euglycemia for pregnant patients with gestational and preexisting diabetes after steroid administration, and possibly impact length of hospital admission.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of hospital days until euglycemia in pregnant diabetic patients receiving steroids who are pre-treated with insulin.

    Pregnant diabetic patients admitted to the hospital who receive steroids for fetal lung maturity will have their blood glucose levels checked before and after receiving steroids. Blood glucose levels will be checked fasting and postprandial until the levels are consistently less than 160. This will vary for patients, but will be on average 2 to 14 days.

    Measured: number of hospital days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing insulin pre-treatment in people with Hyperglycemia in Pregnant Diabetic Patients, run by University of Minnesota 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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of hospital days until euglycemia in pregnant diabetic patients receiving steroids who are pre-treated with insulin. (time frame: number of hospital days). 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 12 Sep 2014.
