Trial summary

Children with diabetic ketoacidosis risk neurological complications such as cerebral edema with high morbidity. To prevent cerebral edema, it is essential to control correction of hypovolemia, hyperglycemia and natremia. Markers usually used in management of diabetic ketoacidosis don't always permit an optimal care. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Interest of Plasma Copeptin Levels in Management of Children With Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Children with diabetic ketoacidosis risk neurological complications such as cerebral edema with high morbidity. To prevent cerebral edema, it is essential to control correction of hypovolemia, hyperglycemia and natremia. Markers usually used in management of diabetic ketoacidosis don't always permit an optimal care.

Plasma copeptin levels reflect vasopressin secretion which is high in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Therefore, monitoring of plasma copeptin levels could be of interest in children with diabetic ketoacidosis and risk of sévère neurological complications.

Read the detailed description

Biological risk factors for severe complications in diabetic ketoacidosis are described (high blood glucose level, metabolic acidosis, high blood urea nitrogen, hypernatremia) but their dosage and monitoring are not sufficient to distinguish high risks situations.

Several studies suggest that vasopressin secretion is increased in diabetic ketoacidosis. This high level could be important in occurrence of cerebral edema. Monitoring of vasopressin levels could then have an interest in patients at risk of severe complications but reliability of copeptin dosage depend of collection conditions and its packaging. These conditions are difficult to ensure and copeptin dosage, which represent vasopressin secretion, is easier to perform.

Copeptin dosage could then be a new biological marker, more accurate and specific, for an optimal management of diabetic ketoacidosis.

This type of study has never been carried out neither in children nor in adults.

What is being measured

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

  1. Interest of copeptin dosage as a severity marker in children under the age of 16 with diabatic ketoacidosis

    Study of correlation between copeptin levels and metabolic acidosis management of diabatic ketoacidosis in children

    Measured: 36 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation between plasma copeptin levels and other markers used in management of diabatic ketoacidosis in the first 36 hours after diagnosis- Plasma copeptin levels at diagnosis of diabate mellitus type 1 without ketoacidosis in children

    Interest of copeptin dosage as a new marker of diabatic ketoacidosis severy compared to other used markers

    Measured: 36 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Copeptine dosage in children with diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis in people with Diabetic Ketoacidosis Children, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 31 Oct 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Interest of copeptin dosage as a severity marker in children under the age of 16 with diabatic ketoacidosis (time frame: 36 hours). 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 31 Oct 2019.
