Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics study of 2 formulation of insulin glargine (RinGlar® GEROPHARM vers. Lantus® Sanofi-Aventis)

a randomized prospective study aims at comparing the impact of a "living theater" session with a simple "writing workshop " on emotional distress (Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire PAID) and illness perception ( Illness Perception Questionnaire IPQR) during a 5 day education course

The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitoring will improve glucose variability as measured by the coefficient of variation of glucose levels in very young children with T1D. The study adopts an open-label, multi-centre, multinational, prospective registry-based population cohort design contrasting CGM use to SMBG alone in young children with type 1 diabetes over 12 months. The primary endpoint is the difference between treatment modalities (CGM vs SMBG alone) in glycaemic variability, measured as the coefficient of variation of glucose levels, during the 12 months observational period. Other Key edpoints include time in range 70-180 mg/dl, time below range 70 mg/dl and time above range 180 mg/dl.

SATURN study aims at evaluating Home Healthcare Provider (HHP) Management of type 1 diabetic patients using a closed-loop automatic insulin delivery system (or artificial pancreas), and specifically satisfaction and interactions of all people involved (patients, HHPs, hospital healthcare teams) after 1 and 3 months of follow-up, under normal conditions of use.

Emerging clinical details of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have illustrated that there are multiple clinical presentations and outcomes of this viral infection. People with an infection have been reported to have a spectrum of disease from severe acute respiratory distress requiring ventilation, to mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and asymptomatic presentations. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been accompanied with a substantial increase in the number of individuals presenting with new onset type 1 diabetes [1]. Most individuals presenting with type 1 diabetes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause type 1 diabetes. Investigators have identified that many individuals presenting with type 1 diabetes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are SARS-CoV-2 positive by swab or blood test. Researchers have also observed that T cells in patients who have had COVID recognise some of the peptides in the pancreatic islet cells, which are responsible for production of insulin. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with new onset of type 1 diabetes. The aim of this project is to understand the host immune response to infection with SARS-CoV-2 over time in convalescent newly diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes, including acquired immune responses, gene expression profiling in peripheral blood and to identify host genetic variants associated with disease progressions or severity. Participants will have Type 1 diabetes and will have had a diagnosis of COVID-19 (confirmed by a positive nasopharyngeal swab PCR test and/or SARS-CoV-2 antibody test) and have recovered from COVID-19. Samples will be processed and analysed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 infection might precipitate immune attack on insulin-producing cells resulting in autoimmune diabetes.

To elucidate the characteristics of global gut microbiota and fecal/serum metabolites in patients with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, adult-onset type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

This project focuses on embedding the participants' own diabetes data into state-of-the-art technology platforms to constitute a novel educational simulation interface for decision-support in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) - the Web-based Simulation Tool (WST).

GABA(gamma-Aminobutyric acid) may be used for decreasing anti-gad antibodies and leads beta-cell regeneration.

Given the current situation with COVID-19 declared pandemic on March 11, 2020 and the requirement for physical distancing and to limit social interactions, and for some, to quarantine, the investigators will survey patients living with type 1 diabetes (and their families, if they are <18 years) about their current experience with their diabetes management to understand their needs. The primary objective is to describe the exposition and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on type 1 diabetes. The investigators will recruit people with type 1 diabetes from all ages living in Quebec to answer a short online survey.

Acute symptoms of hypoglycemia influence all aspects of every day life and reduce quality of life of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their parents. Encountering with hypoglycemia can result in fobic fear of low blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes and their parents.
