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 population will be recruited from the Warwickshire Institute for the study of diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. WISDEM is a flagship partnership between the hospitals and the University of Warwick Medical School created to tackle diabetes and related metabolic conditions.

Who may be able to join

  • The study will be open to all individuals living independently, over 18 years without acute illness or ongoing clinical investigation, or volunteers with a stable medical condition may be included. Volunteers with an ongoing medical condition will only be included after detailed consultation with our clinical and dietetics members of the team; however, it is imperative that volunteers are able to provide written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Whilst the study employs a deliberately open inclusion criterion, the following exclusion measures will be employed:
  • Children (under 18 yrs)
  • Any adult who lacks decisional capacity
  • Claustrophobia, isolophobia, recent abnormal exercise, radiation exposure within the preceding 24 hours of entering the whole-body calorimeter and feeling unwell in any way.
  • Needle phobia
  • Any medical/endocrine problem that could affect energy expenditure (e.g. thyroid problems, Cushing's syndrome)
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Chronic inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, or long term use of steroids or other immunomodulators like cyclosporine, azathioprine.
  • Beta blockers
  • Currently actively losing weight
  • Depression or any psychiatric illness

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of Artificial Intelligence Models for Non-invasive Glycaemic Event Detection Using ECG in Type 1 Diabetics

This observational study aims to recruit up to thirty T1DM patients from a diabetic outpatient clinic at the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for a two-phase study. The first phase involves attending an inpatient protocol for up to thirty-six hours in a calorimetry room at the Human Metabolism Research Unit under controlled conditions, followed by a phase of free-living, for up to three days, in which participants will go about their normal daily activities without restriction. Throughout the study, the participants will wear commercially available wearable sensors to measure and record physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram and continuous glucose monitor). Data collected will be used to develop and validate an AI model using state-of-the-art deep-learning methods for the purpose of non-invasive glycaemic event detection.

Read the detailed description

The study volunteers will be asked to an attend an 'inpatient' facility for up to 36 hrs dedicated to advanced metabolic measurement (HMRU). They will be asked to consume prepared meals of varying macronutrient content as part of a balanced diet, and performed prescribed physical activity. During this time the volunteers will be measured by instrumentation which will investigate the chemical concentration in respired gases (e.g. whole-body calorimeters, metabolic carts); bloods, saliva and urine samples will be taken. If the participant then wishes, we will ask them to continue to wear the wearable devices in a home setting for a maximum one week.

The data derived from this study will allow new tools and mathematical models to be developed that can be used to analyse and simulate patient metabolic response. It is envisaged this study will give further evidence to support future research into glucose utilisation in diseased metabolic populations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT05461144

Type1diabetes patientsMales and females diagnosed with T1D, aged over 18 years old who are currently under the care of the Warwickshire Institute for the Study of Diabetes, Endocrinolgy and Metabolism (WISDEM) at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire.

What is being measured

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

  1. Interstitial Glucose

    As measured by a continuous glucose monitor [NOTE] Observational study thus a key measurement not a true outcome measure.

    Measured: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. ECG -Interval across different fiducial points

    As measured by an ambulatory ECG device [NOTE] Observational study thus a key measurement not a true outcome measure.

    The interval across different fiducial points (P.Q.R,S,T) is one of the features that are useful to quantify the difference in ECG signals for different glycaemic events.

    Measured: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days

  2. ECG - Slope across different fiducial points

    As measured by an ambulatory ECG device [NOTE] Observational study thus a key measurement not a true outcome measure.

    The Slope across different fiducial points (P.Q.R,S,T) is one of the features that are useful to quantify the difference in ECG signals for different glycaemic events.

    Measured: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days

  3. ECG - Indices of Heart Rate Variability

    As measured by an ambulatory ECG device [NOTE] Observational study thus a key measurement not a true outcome measure.

    Heart rate variability (HRV) is the fluctuation in the time intervals between adjacent heartbeats. There are several indices that are useful to quantify the difference in ECG signals for different glycaemic events such as Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) (≤0.003 Hz), Very Low Frequency (VLF) (0.0033-0.04 Hz), Low Frequency (LF) (0.04-0.15 Hz) and High Frequency (HF) (0.15-0.4 Hz)

    Measured: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days

  4. Blood Pressure (Systolic and Diastolic)

    As measured by an ambulatory blood pressure device [NOTE] Observational study thus a key measurement not a true outcome measure.

    Measured: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Disease, run by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.

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 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2022. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact John G Hattersley, PhD (+44 (0) 24 7696 6068, john.hattersley@uhcw.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Interstitial Glucose (time frame: For the duration of the study, up to 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05461144, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Jul 2022.
