Glucose Clamp Study to Prove Hypo- and Hyperglycemic Episodes Using a Non-invasive Glucose Monitoring Device

February 1, 2010 updated by: Profil Institut für Stoffwechselforschung GmbH

A Single Center, Open Study in Order to Prove Hypo- and Hyperglycaemic Episodes Using a Non-invasive Glucose Measuring Method in Healthy Volunteers and in Type 1 Diabetic Patients

Continuous monitoring of the skin tissue glucose concentration on two different study days using glucose sensors that work on the principle of impedance spectroscopy, with systematic alteration of the blood glucose concentration using the glucose clamp technique in healthy subjects and subjects with type 1 diabetes. Simultaneous determination of electrolyte concentrations in the blood by taking frequent blood samples.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A completely non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring device is considered as a major target of glucose sensor development. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a non-invasive glucose sensor (wristwatch) under controlled conditions (glucose clamp) at hyperglycemia (study day 1) and at hypoglycemia (study day 2). Measurements of the non-invasive glucose monitoring device are compared to those obtained from a minimally invasive glucose monitoring device (GlucoDay, microdialysis principle). In addition, changes in blood electrolyte concentrations as well as their impact on the measurements of the non-invasive glucose sensor are evaluated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 40 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
skin tissue glucose concentration
Time Frame: continuously during the glucose clamp
continuously during the glucose clamp

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
serum and urine electrolyte concentrations (sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, urea, osmolarity, pH, lactate, p(O2), standard bicarbonate, p(CO2), blood glucose concentration
Time Frame: at 5 min intervals between the individual plateau phases, at 10 min intervals during the plateau phases (of the blood glucose concentration)
at 5 min intervals between the individual plateau phases, at 10 min intervals during the plateau phases (of the blood glucose concentration)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
