About this study

Official title: Maternal Serum Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP) Levels in Gestational Diabetic Pregnant Women

This cohort study investigated whether IRAP levels could be a marker for predicting gestational diabetes mellitus. 80 women were included in the study, including the control group. The study duration was 12 months and the study was completed.

Read the detailed description

In the cohort study, the study group (GDM group) consisted of 40 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM between 24-28 weeks of gestation with a 2-hour 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). While 11 women in the GDM group received insulin treatment, 29 of them provided blood sugar regulation with diet. The 75-g OGTT tests of the 40 pregnant women in the control group were considered normoglycemic while matching with the study group in terms of age, BMI and gestational weeks, and no complications were observed in the pregnant women in this group. Pregnant women with preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, pre-gestational diabetes mellitus, any acute or chronic disease, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), fetal structural or chromosomal anomalies, multiple pregnancies and fetal growth restriction were not included in the study. The ELISA method determined Serum IRAP levels.

Serum IRAP levels of pregnant women were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum levels of IRAP marker were compared between the groups.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06716320
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group gestational diabetes mellitus, Group Healthy pregnant womenGroup gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM): GDM was diagnosed according to the criteria of The International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups when one or more abnormal plasma glucose values were obtained (fasting ≥ 92 mg/dL, 1 h ≥ 180 mg/dL, 2 h ≥ 153 mg/dL). In pregnant women who could not achieve normoglycemia with diet, insulin treatment was started and fasting blood sugar and 1st and 2nd hour postprandial blood sugar threshold values were determined as 95 mg/dL, 140 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL, respectively. Group Healthy pregnant women: In the healthy pregnant women group, 40 pregnant women were considered normoglycemic because their 75-g OGTT tests matched the study group in terms of age, BMI, and gestational age. Pregnant women in this group who did not have any complications were included. All groups were followed until the end of birth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of serum IRAP levels

    Comparison of serum IRAP levels measured during the assessment between pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on a 75-gram OGTT performed at 24-28 weeks of gestation and normoglycemic pregnant women.

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Evaluation of serum in the pregnant women at 24-28 weeks in ng/ml.

    For IRAP measurements, blood samples taken between weeks 24 and 28 were centrifuged and the serum was separated and stored at -80 ° C until the day of the study. On the day of the study, all samples were thawed at the same time and included in the study.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy, run by OSMAN KÖSE, MD at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 4 Dec 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Comparison of serum IRAP levels (time frame: up to 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06716320, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Dec 2024.
