Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Objective: The overall objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the current recommended guidelines for physical activity (PA) in response to acute moderate intensity continous exercise (MICE) and high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) among adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems (MiniMed 780G and Tandem Control-IQ). Methods: This study will be a two-period, cross-over, clinical trial with between and within cohort comparisons of two different exercise modalities among a total of 24 age-, sex-, and insulin-dose-matched adolescents with T1D (12 using MiniMed 780G and 12 using Tandem Control-IQ). Endpoint: The primary endpoint is sensor-derived time in range (3.9 mmol/L-10.0 mmol/L) around exercise

Young people (16-25) with type-1 diabetes have historically struggled with managing their condition. Typically, the average HbA1c levels are significantly higher and as such, the risk of long term complications tend to be far greater. These sufferers tend to have better management of their condition as they grow older however, the evidence suggests this is too late and these sufferers will likely have some complications later in life. Current cost to the NHS for complications is ~£850 million and expected to rise to ~£1.3 billion in the next 10-15 years. The LovedBy solution aims to leverage modern technologies such as smartphones, continuous glucose monitors (CGM), and other smart wearables to assist young sufferers managing their condition. The LovedBy platform offers a mobile application which connects to the user's smart wearables and CGM to monitor data streams that have been linked to long term risk. The mobile application is then able to deliver personally relevant educational content to the user through numerous channels including private social media messages. The study will last 10 months, and the participants are required to download/install the mobile app, integrate their wearables and then simply continue as normal with regular clinical meetings. Participants will be between 16-25 years and comply with the inclusion criteria set out in the protocol.

This is a single-center, prospective, open label study in islet transplant recipients after complete islet graft rejection/loss, defined as stimulated c-peptide ≤0.3 ng/mL.

The "Insul-In This Together" intervention is designed for teens with Type 1 Diabetes and their parents. This study seeks to evaluate an evidence-based family intervention for teens with type 1 diabetes and their parents to offset the psychosocial and diabetes self-management risks. This information will provide a more in-depth understanding of family-based program efficacy for teens with adolescents and provide more judicious and streamlined intervention options to be offered in diabetes clinics in the future.

Vascular calcification (VC) is a complication frequently observed in elderly, in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in diabetes (particularly in type 1 diabetes). VC is a dynamic pathophysiological process that causes cardiovascular morbidity and is an independent risk factor of major amputation. In vitro and human observational studies have suggested a role of metformin in preventing VC. The investigators propose to test the effect of metformin treatment during two years on lower limb arterial calcification evaluated by CT-scan in patients with type 1 diabetes and without CKD. This research is a phase III double blind randomized controlled trial consisting of 2 years double-blind treatment phase (patients randomized to metformin or placebo) in type 1 diabetic patients. The participants and the investigators will be blinded to the study medications taken during the double-blind treatment period

A multi-center, placebo-controlled, double blind, 2:1 randomized control clinical trial testing low-dose ATG vs. placebo in subjects with a 2 year 50% risk of progression to stage 3 T1D.

While genetics demonstrated a major risk factor for the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D), microbiota dysbiosis has been suggested as an elicitor in immunological tolerance and of beta cell autoimmunity. The probiotic Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 may prevent or restore the gut flora and show systemic impacts and adaptive immunity in the T1D population thereby preserving beta cell function.

Although major advancements have been made in improving glycemic management in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), women entering pregnancy with type 1 DM continue to be at dramatically increased risk for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). At present, there is a lack of effective preventive interventions for HDP, which are associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Clinical and in vitro data have shown promise for metformin in prevention of HDP in non-diabetic women. Metformin has a reassuring fetal safety profile and has been well studied in type 1 DM outside of pregnancy. The hypothesis to be tested in this application is that compared to usual care, daily oral metformin therapy initiated prior to 20 weeks' gestation in women with type 1 DM reduces the frequency of HDP.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of an evidence-based eating-disorder prevention program specifically targeted for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) compared to an educational control group. The Diabetes Body Project (DBP), is an adaptation of the Body Project which is the only eating disorder prevention program to have repeatedly produced effects when evaluated by independent researchers, produced stronger effects than credible alternative interventions, and affected objective outcomes. DBP has been adapted slightly for individuals with T1D who are at ultra-high risk for eating disorders. The study aims to test the effectiveness of the DBP of reducing body image concerns and reducing eating pathology and improving glycemic control.

Recent studies have demonstrated reduced pancreatic volume is present within months of T1D diagnosis in children, adolescents, and adults. As the pancreatic beta cells constitute only 1-2% of the pancreas, the degree of reduction in pancreas volume at disease onset suggests exocrine involvement, challenging the established paradigm of T1D being solely a disease of the endocrine pancreas. To date there has not been an investigation of the potential for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in the management of T1D. In individuals with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, enzyme replacement has been shown to reduce post-prandial glycemia excursions, which are reflected in improved GLP-1 responses to mixed meal tolerance testing. As post-prandial excursions and glucose variability are a significant challenge in T1D, how enzyme replacement may impact these parameters is an important question. The investigators hypothesize that patients with T1DM who have reduced pancreatic volume will have improved glycemic responsiveness, reduced hypoglycemia, and improved symptoms of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency when treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement (CREON).
