Comparing CGM and OGTT in Relation to Iron Overload Detected by Pancreas T2* MRI in High-Risk Hematology Group (CGMs)

July 24, 2017 updated by: Hamad Medical Corporation

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Versus Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) Versus T2* MRI Of The Pancreas In High-Risk Group (Hemoglobinopathies, Lymphoma & Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia): A Comparative Study

A prospective, observational, comparative study with no intervention.The objective of the study to compare the efficiency of detecting glycemic abnormalities using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGMs) versus Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and HbA1C (Glycated Hemoglobin) and their relation to iron overload detected by T2* MRI of the pancreas in high-risk patients due to insulin deficiency (potential beta cell injury) and those with insulin resistance and to study the different factors that may affect the glycemic control in these patients in relation to their results like the Dose of corticosteroids and chemotherapy in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies, Liver function in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies, and Serum ferritin in Hemoglobinopathies and their transfusion status. Using Validated Tools with Permission, the participants will be selected through probability (random) sampling method with expected subjects numbers ALL/L: 30-50, Thalassemia Major: 20, Sickle cell disease: 20.

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.

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

The targeted sample size is up to 100 patients (we aim to recruit approximately 70-100 cases based on the statistics from the outpatient clinics at NCCCR and the cancer registry data; over a period of 3 years). All cases of ALL, Lymphoma, Thalassemia and sickle cell disease diagnosed in HMC will be identified as subjects and they will be recruited based on informed consent and IRB approval.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • This study will include participants who are High-risk patients to develop glycemic abnormalities:

    1. Thalassemia major and SCD (beta cell toxicity and hepatic siderosis)
    2. ALL/L ( beta cell injury and hepatic injury due to chemotherapy, and insulin resistance due to corticosteroids)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 14 years;
  • Other systemic diseases, renal disorders or malnourished;
  • Patients and unwilling to participate in the study.

High-Risk Group
The objective of the study to compare the efficiency of detecting glycemic abnormalities using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGMs) versus Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and HbA1C. versus T2* MRI of the pancreas (T2* MRI of the Pancreas) in high-risk patients due to insulin deficiency (potential beta cell injury) and those with insulin resistance and to study the different factors that may affect the glycemic control in these patients in relation to their results like the Dose of corticosteroids and chemotherapy in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies,Liver function in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies, and Serum ferritin in Hemoglobinopathies and their transfusion status.
Where a pager-sized device fixed to the patient's forearm by a diabetic educator and it will connect to his/her body with the sensor, which measures blood glucose for three days. Patients' may experience little pain from needle prick when a sensor is introduced.
Oral glucose tolerance test requires the patient to be fasting and checking of blood sugar after 8 to 10 hours overnight fasting the blood sugar will be checked three times When you arrive to the lab then twice one hour, apart you can have pain due to needle prick or little bleeding at the puncture site.
MRI [Magnetic resonance imaging] of the pancreas which is safe and takes around 30 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficiency of continuous glucose monitoring compared to oral glucose tolerance and MRI of the Pancreas
Time Frame: 12 Months
Compare the efficiency of detecting glycemic abnormalities using CGMS versus OGTT vs HbA1C. in high-risk patients due to insulin deficiency (potential beta cell injury) and those with insulin resistance. Detect the prevalence of glycemic abnormalities detected in the same group of patients (high-risk patients) using three different modalities of testing (CGMS, OGTT, HbA1C)and T2*MRI for pancreas
12 Months
