About this study
Official title: Cyclophosphamide in the Treatment of Panniculitis Associated Acquired Lipodystrophy Syndrome With Type 1 Diabetes
This study evaluates the change of insulin resistance and glucose metabolism of patients with panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome and type 1 diabetes with the treatment of cyclophosphamide.
Read the detailed description
Patients with panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome and type 1 diabetes have difficulty in blood glucose management due to the presence of both severe insulin resistance and complete insulin deficiency. It is often necessary to use insulin doses several times that of other children of the same age with type 1 diabetes.
Since autoimmune response is the main cause of panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome, immunosuppressive agents can suppress immune response, prevent and alleviate the progression of panniculitis and acquired lipodystrophy syndrome, and improve insulin resistance caused by subcutaneous fat deficiency.
Cyclophosphamide is a classic immunosuppressive agent. This study hopes to improve insulin resistance of patients with panniculitis associated acquired lipodystrophy syndrome and type 1 diabetes by cyclophosphamide treatment, thereby reducing insulin dosage and improving glucose metabolism.

CyclophosphamideDrug
Also called CYC
Admitted to the hospital every 4 weeks. Cyclophosphamide was intravenously instilled (500mg mg/m2 of BSA) after contraindications are excluded. ECG monitoring will be taken during the medication. A total of 6 treatments will be performed.
