About this study

Official title: Mechanisms of Inflammation, Immunity, Islet Cell and Intestinal Hormone Changes in Youth at Risk for Diabetes (MI4D)

This study intends to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.

Read the detailed description

This study proposes to characterize inflammatory biomarkers, insulin resistance and fecal microbiome composition in obese/pre-diabetic adolescents after glucose ingestion, followed by an oral fat tolerance test on a separate visit. Lipoprotein abnormalities and intestinal biomarkers, post-lipid ingestion, will also be evaluated. The primary aim is to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.

Medical subject headings
Obesity, Prediabetic State, Pediatric Obesity, Inflammation, Insulin Resistance

What is being measured

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

  1. Whole body insulin sensitivity index

    Multiple measurements from a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value (ie., insulin in uU/mL units and glucose values in mg/dL units which are measured at baseline, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min during the oral glucose tolerance test will be combined to calculate whole body insulin sensitivity index). There is no unit of measure for whole body insulin sensitivity index. Whole body insulin sensitivity index will be calculated using the following equation: whole body insulin sensitivity index = 10,000 / √ [(fasting glucose x fasting insulin) x (mean glucose x mean insulin)].

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 2 years.

  2. Microbiome Composition

    We will perform microbiome 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing in fecal samples from study participants.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 years.

  3. Inflammatory markers

    Cytokines will be measured in plasma and fecal water with Bio-PlexTM arrays providing biomarkers of type 1 diabetes and/or type 2 diabetes progression. As indices of gut microbial translocation, serum lipopolysaccharides (LPS), macrophage secreted cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) that binds LPS and LPS binding protein (LBP) will be examined.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and PreDiabetes, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 1 site in Canada.

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 12 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 13 Sep 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

Whole body insulin sensitivity index (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Sep 2022.
