Trial summary

This study aims at improving the prediction of type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals by examining glucose excursion patterns in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. In addition, this study will show whether the currently used diagnostic test could be replaced by an easier and less expensive method. Read more about this study

  • Ages 40 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers

Study population: Individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (2h plasma glucose during oral glucose tolerance test >7.8-11.1 mmol/l, n=50) or with type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose > 7.0 mmol/l and/or 2h plasma glucose > 11.1 mmol/l on two occasions, or both criteria fulfilled in the same oral glucose tolerance test while not pregnant, n=50) with short duration (<3 years); 40 from Padova University Hospital, 60 from the Botnia Study or the PPP-Botnia Study in Finland.

About this study

Official title: Glucose Excursions at Early Stages of Diabetes, MOSAIC Prospective Study

This study aims at improving the prediction of type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals by examining glucose excursion patterns in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. In addition, this study will show whether the currently used diagnostic test could be replaced by an easier and less expensive method.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease of glucose metabolism leading to various disabling conditions. The onset of type 2 diabetes is a gradual shift from normal to abnormal, giving rarely noticeable symptoms at its early stages or even in later stages when damage has already been caused. Due to the gradual onset, the diagnosis is often delayed, and as much as half of the asymptomatic patients remain undetected. The diagnostic criteria for diabetes are based on artificial boundaries reflecting the risk of complications related to diabetes. The golden standard of diagnosis of diabetes is a 2 hours oral glucose tolerance test, which is both time consuming and costly. This study aims at improving the prediction of type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals by examining glucose excursion patterns in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. In addition, this study will show whether the currently used diagnostic test could be replaced by an easier and less expensive method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Folkhälsan Researech Center at 1 site in Finland.

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 7 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 14 Mar 2016. 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 Finland. 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?

glucose levels in tissue fluid (time frame: continuous monitoring for 1 week). 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 NCT02294370, 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 14 Mar 2016.
