Trial summary

The aim of this study was to look for discriminating variation in the concentrations of small-molecule metabolites in the plasma of T1DM children compared with non-diabetic matched controls using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based metabolomics. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Metabolic Profiling of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Children and Adolescents: a Case-control Study

The aim of this study was to look for discriminating variation in the concentrations of small-molecule metabolites in the plasma of T1DM children compared with non-diabetic matched controls using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based metabolomics.

Read the detailed description

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common pediatric diseases and its incidence is rising in many countries. Recently, it has been shown that metabolites other than glucose play an important role in insulin deficiency and the development of diabetes. The aim of this study was to look for discriminating variation in the concentrations of small-molecule metabolites in the plasma of T1DM children compared with non-diabetic matched controls using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based metabolomics.

This cross-sectional study was set-up to examine the metabolic profile in fasting plasma samples from 7 T1DM children and 7 non-diabetic controls aged 8 to 18 years, and matched for gender, age and BMI. The obtained plasma 1H-NMR spectra were rationally divided into 110 integration regions, representing the metabolic phenotype. These integration regions reflect the relative metabolite concentrations and were used as statistical variables to construct (train) a classification model in discriminating between T1DM patients and controls.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type1diabetes, run by Hasselt University at 1 site in Belgium.

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 9 Jan 2017. 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 Belgium. 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?

Metabolic phenotype of type 1 diabetes mellitus (time frame: 10 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 NCT03014908, which also lists 3 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 9 Jan 2017.
