Trial summary

Oxygen is required for an optimal muscle function. In patients with diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia can cause vascular complications. The endothelium (inter layer of the blood vessels) can be damaged leading to a reduced oxygen flow towards the muscle cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Oxygen is required for an optimal muscle function. In patients with diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia can cause vascular complications. The endothelium (inter layer of the blood vessels) can be damaged leading to a reduced oxygen flow towards the muscle cells. Besides, it is possible that mitochondrial dysfunction is occuring leading to reduced extraction of oxygen.

Both conditions will lead to a reduced flow of oxygen towards the muscle and this can have impact on the production of energy necessary for optimal functioning.

In this study, the investigators will examine the functionality of the blood vessels (1) and the uptake of oxygen into the muscles (2) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2 (with and without vascular complications) compared to healthy persons.

Read the detailed description

The investigators plan to recruit in total 125 participants who will be divided into 3 main groups: (I) diabetes mellitus type 1 (with (a) or without (b) vascular complications), (II) diabetes mellitus type 2 (with (a) or without (b) vascular complications), and (III) healthy persons. Diabetes mellitus will be defined by the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

The examinations for this study consist of a blood pressure assessment, Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD)-measurement, and a handgrip exercise test. The protocol will take approximately 2 hours.

The investigator who performs the FMD-test followed a course and passed thorough evaluation.

The blood pressure assessment will be continuously for 20 minutes to avoid large bias.

What is being measured

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

  1. Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD)-test

    flow mediated dilatation test

    Measured: 20 minutes, at study-day (participants have to come only once, no follow-up, no re-testing)

  2. Near-infrared spectroscopy during exercise

    analysis of changes in oxygenated blood during exercise

    Measured: 30 minutes, at study-day (participants have to come only once, no follow-up, no re-testing)

  3. exercise test wilt hand held dynamometer

    analysis of strength and exercise capacity

    Measured: 30 minutes, at study-day (participants have to come only once, no follow-up, no re-testing)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood pressure analysis

    measurement of basal blood pressure (systolic and diastolic)

    Measured: 20 minutes, at study-day (participants have to come only once, no follow-up, no re-testing)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing examination: blood pressure assessment, examination: Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD)-test and examination: handgrip exercise test with Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-monitoring in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Vascular Complications, run by University Ghent 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anouk Tanghe, PhD (+32 09 332 36 27, anouk.tanghe@ugent.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD)-test (time frame: 20 minutes, at study-day (participants have to come only once, no follow-up, no re-testing)). 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 30 Nov 2023.
