Mechanisms of Inflammation, Immunity, Islet Cell and Intestinal Hormone Changes in Youth at Risk for Diabetes (MI4D)

September 12, 2022 updated by: Jill Hamilton, The Hospital for Sick Children

Mechanisms of Inflammation, Immunity, Islet Cell and Intestinal Hormone Changes in Youth at Risk for Diabetes (MI4D)

This study intends to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.

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.

Detailed Description

This study proposes to characterize inflammatory biomarkers, insulin resistance and fecal microbiome composition in obese/pre-diabetic adolescents after glucose ingestion, followed by an oral fat tolerance test on a separate visit. Lipoprotein abnormalities and intestinal biomarkers, post-lipid ingestion, will also be evaluated. The primary aim is to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.

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

12 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adolescents with obesity

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adolescents aged 12 - 18 years old with obesity (defined as body mass index (BMI) >97th percentile based on their age- and sex-specific World Health Organization growth chart)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known type 2 diabetes
  2. Diabetes secondary to medication or surgery
  3. Antibodies suggestive of type 1 diabetes

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
Whole body insulin sensitivity index
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Multiple measurements from a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value (ie., insulin in uU/mL units and glucose values in mg/dL units which are measured at baseline, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min during the oral glucose tolerance test will be combined to calculate whole body insulin sensitivity index). There is no unit of measure for whole body insulin sensitivity index. Whole body insulin sensitivity index will be calculated using the following equation: whole body insulin sensitivity index = 10,000 / √ [(fasting glucose x fasting insulin) x (mean glucose x mean insulin)].
Through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Microbiome Composition
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years.
We will perform microbiome 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing in fecal samples from study participants.
Through study completion, an average of 3 years.
Inflammatory markers
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 years.
Cytokines will be measured in plasma and fecal water with Bio-PlexTM arrays providing biomarkers of type 1 diabetes and/or type 2 diabetes progression. As indices of gut microbial translocation, serum lipopolysaccharides (LPS), macrophage secreted cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) that binds LPS and LPS binding protein (LBP) will be examined.
Through study completion, an average of 3 years.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

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.
May 19, 2017

Primary Completion (Actual)

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.
February 15, 2019

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
