Trial summary

The investigators propose to study the association of the KCNJ11 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily J Member 11) polymorphisms on diabetes risk in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) and Jackson Heart Study (JHS) cohorts. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The ARIC study is a prospective cohort of 15,792 adults between the ages of 45 and 64 years at the baseline visit. Participants were recruited from four communities in the US-Forsyth County, North Carolina, Jackson, Mississippi, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Washington County, Maryland. All participants attended an initial baseline visit between 1987-1989. JHS is a community-based, prospective cohort study of 5301 African-American adults, aged 21-95 years at the baseline visit, from the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area. Participants had baseline data collected between 2000 and 2004.

Who may be able to join

  • Member of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study or Jackson Heart Study (JHS) cohorts

Who cannot join

  • Had not fasted 8 or more hours for the baseline visit
  • Prevalent diabetes at baseline exam
  • Missing information on serum potassium
  • Missing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data
  • Evidence of kidney dysfunction
  • Race other than black/African American or white/Caucasian
  • Missing other covariates

About this study

Official title: Interaction of Potassium Measures With Potassium Channel Genetic Variants on Diabetes Risk: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and Jackson Heart Study (JHS)

The investigators propose to study the association of the KCNJ11 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily J Member 11) polymorphisms on diabetes risk in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) and Jackson Heart Study (JHS) cohorts. The investigators also propose to test for an interaction between serum K and these genetic variants. By testing for such an interaction, it will be determined if, among participants with these genetic variants, a low-normal serum K was a stronger predictor of diabetes risk compared to those participants without these genetic variants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Associations of serum potassium and KCNJ11 variants with incident diabetes as represented by odds ratio

    Calculation of odds ratio will be used to represent the risk of incident diabetes associated with serum K, rs5215, and rs5219 within the cohort

    Measured: through study completion, mean of 8 years of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by Duke University.

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 1 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 8 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Associations of serum potassium and KCNJ11 variants with incident diabetes as represented by odds ratio (time frame: through study completion, mean of 8 years of follow-up). 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 8 Dec 2017.
