About this study

Official title: Prevention Strategies for Adolescents at Risk of Diabetes - Validation of a Risk Tool for Young People Aged 12 - 14 Years

The primary aim of PRE-STARt Phase 1 is to pragmatically evaluate and refine a risk assessment tool to identify those children with chronic disease risk factors (including Type 2 Diabetes).

Read the detailed description

Data will be collected in 5 European Commission countries (500 adolescents in total). A range of biological and lifestyle measures will be collected in order to investigate the adolescent's lifestyle and will include body weight and other anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, blood capillary sample, self-reported physical activity, sedentary behaviour and dietary habits. Their parent/guardian will complete a number of questions to gather information about variables that have been associated with chronic disease (including type 2 diabetes) and include peri-natal history (birth weight, gestational diabetes), socioeconomic status, family health and medical history.

A draft risk tool to identify those children with a 'higher risk' of developing type 2 diabetes in the future has been developed systematic review results and a Delphi procedure. This draft tool will be evaluated and refined. This draft risk tool will be evaluated by independent clinical reviewers against the data collected from the 500 adolescent data sets. The results for each adolescent will be independently reviewed by clinicians who will assign either a "lower" or "higher" risk to each case. The results will be compared to the results from the draft 'PRE-START tool', used to further refine this identification tool using appropriate statistical methods.

The outputs of this study will be a fit for purpose 'PRE-STARt tool' that can be used for recruitment to interventional studies whose primary objective is to reduce the risk of developing chronic disease (including type 2 diabetes) in the future.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Chronic disease risk factor - waist circumference

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Chronic disease risk factor - blood pressure

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Chronic disease risk factor - glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Chronic disease risk factor - high density lipoprotein cholesterol

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Chronic disease risk factor - glucose

    Fasted and/or unfasted

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Chronic disease risk factor - low density lipoprotein cholesterol

    Calculated

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Chronic disease risk factor - triglycerides

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Chronic disease risk factor - total cholesterol

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Disease, run by University Hospitals, Leicester 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 Jan 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 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?

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?

Chronic disease risk factor - Body mass index (BMI) (time frame: 12 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 15 Jan 2019.
