January 4, 2013 updated by: Claudio Celentano, G. d'Annunzio University

Adverse Obstetric Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Inositol Stereoisomears

Comparison of different inositol stereoisomears in preventing adverse obstetric outcomes in non-obese pregnant women at high risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

The investigators compared outcomes from metabolic and obstetric point of view in GDM pregnant non-obese patient with different stereoisomears of inositol supply. Dietary control and placebo or inositol steroisomears were administered starting at the enrolling time (first fasting oral glucose above 92 mg%; usually before 20 weeks gestations') till the delivery and/or pregnancy end/termination. Oral glucose tolerance test results at 24-28 weeks' gestation was evaluated (as glucose values and oGTT screening). Fetal growth, delivery data, obstetric outcomes and necessity of insulin therapy were taken into account.

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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
OGTT result
Time Frame: 24-28 weeks' gestation
OGTT is the mainstay of obstetric outcomes in GDM
24-28 weeks' gestation

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fetal measurements at third trimester
Time Frame: 28 weeks
Centiles of fetal measurements and amniotic fluid volume
28 weeks
Delivery data
Time Frame: 25-42 weeks gestations'
Gestational age at delivery Route of delivery Fetal gender Fetal weight (grams and centiles) Neonatal hypoglycemia
25-42 weeks gestations'
Adverse obstetric outcome
Time Frame: from first elevated oral fasting glucose (above 92 mg%) till the end/termination of pregnancy (latter 42 weeks gestation)
Abortion Preterm delivery Polyhydramnios IUGR Macrosomia Fetal distress Preterm delivery pPROM Neonatal morbility (NICU stay, low glucose levels, etc.) Neonatal mortality Cerebral palsy Route of delivery Dystocia Etc.
from first elevated oral fasting glucose (above 92 mg%) till the end/termination of pregnancy (latter 42 weeks gestation)

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 2012

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

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.
