About this study

Official title: Genetic Analysis Coupled to Application of Isotopic Techniques to the Study of Mauriac Syndrome

Mauriac syndrome (MS) is an entity of individuals combining poorly controlled diabetes mellitus type 1, short stature and glycogenic hepatopathy. Thus, the functional significance of Mauriac syndrome for glucose metabolism remains disputed, and whether genetic defects in glycogen metabolism contribute to glycogenic hepatopathy in MS remains to be clarified.Coupling the genetic analysis of targeted genes involved in glucose regulation with a dynamic exploration will eventually determine if a genetic abnormality leads to the disease and explains the nature of the phenotype.

Read the detailed description

Investigation of glucose homeostasis in MS, after an oral glucose load followed by exercise, using a quantitative measurement of the substrate flux. This dynamic in vivo kinetics can be explored using stable, nonradioactive tracers with the help of gas or liquid chromatography.

Investigation of genetic factors associated with MS phenotype. Molecular analysis will be performed by next generation sequencing (exome or whole genome sequencing). In addition, a targeted analysis for pathogenic variants in genes implicated in homeostasis regulation will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. In vivo kinetics of ingested glucose

    Plasma glucose kinetics [Time -90 min before ingestion of a test meal to Time 360 min after ingestion of a test meal]

    • Baseline : [Time -90min to Time 0min]
    • After an oral glucose load (60g): [Time 0min to Time 300min]
    • During exercise at fixed wattage (60W) for 30 min: [Time 300 min to Time 330 min]
    • After exercise for 30 min [Time 330 min to Time 360 min]

    Trial stable isotope tracers ([U-13C6] glucose ingestion, will be used to assess ingested glucose flux at baseline and during the test.

    Measured: Time -90 minutes to Time 360 minutes

  2. In vivo kinetics of endogenous glucose

    Plasma glucose kinetics [Time -90 min before ingestion of a test meal to Time 360 min after ingestion of a test meal]

    • Baseline : [Time -90min to Time 0min]
    • After an oral glucose load (60g): [Time 0min to Time 300min]
    • During exercise at fixed wattage (60W) for 30 min: [Time 300 min to Time 330 min]
    • After exercise for 30 min [Time 330 min to Time 360 min]

    Trial stable isotope tracers [6,6-2H2] glucose infusion will be used to assess endogenous glucose flux at baseline and during the test.

    Measured: Time -90 minutes to Time 360 minutes

  3. In vivo kinetics of lactate

    Plasma lactate kinetics [Time -90 min before ingestion of a test meal to Time 360 min after ingestion of a test meal]

    • Baseline : [Time -90min to Time 0min]
    • After an oral glucose load (60g): [Time 0min to Time 300min]
    • During exercise at fixed wattage (60W) for 30 min: [Time 300 min to Time 330 min]
    • After exercise for 30 min [Time 330 min to Time 360 min]

    Trial stable isotope tracers [1-13C1]lactate infusion will be used to assess lactate flux at baseline and during the test.

    Measured: Time -90 minutes to Time 360 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. DNA Banking

    10 ml of whole blood will be collected, at baseline, in two tubes EDTA 5ml for DNA extraction and banking in view of next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis.

    Measured: At inclusion period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oral glucose load and exercise test in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Short Stature, run by University of Lausanne at 2 sites in Switzerland.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Switzerland. 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?

In vivo kinetics of ingested glucose (time frame: Time -90 minutes to Time 360 minutes). 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 8 May 2024.
