19 Clinical Trials for Diabetes (Pediatric)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a mobile app video game called Digital Vaccine for Type 1 Diabetes (DVx-T1D)™, proposed as a low-risk, non-invasive, digital therapeutic candidate for behavior change in children 6 to 12 years of age with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The investigators hypothesize that adoption of DVx-T1D™ by T1D patients will positively influence healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors by providing nutrition and lifestyle education through a playful, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based, cartoon-style medium of mobile gaming, and result in improvements in their T1D control. The investigators propose to conduct a longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) over a 3-month period with a study population of 80 T1D participants (40 each in two arms of the trial) of 6-12 years old. The investigators will quantify the impact of the mobile game app plus standard care vs. standard care (with no exposure to the app) on T1D control (assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin or HbA1c measured during clinic visits and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters measured at home), physical activity levels and food choices of children (measured using food logs and surveys). Game telemetry, food logs, clinical, anthropometric, demographic, and survey data will be collected to obtain adequately powered, theory-driven evidence of the value of game-based approaches delivered via mobile apps.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), once considered only "a disease of older ages," is now a significant public health concern in youth. Although it is characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, its precise etiology and pathogenesis are not yet fully understood. This study aims to (1) explore arginine metabolism in youth with T2D via safe, minimally invasive kinetic experiments using stable isotope tracers and targeted metabolomics, and (2) determine the effect of exogenous arginine administration on β-cell function in youth with T2D, potentially supporting the use of this safe, low-cost, and readily available nutrient to improve pediatric diabetes outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect on pediatric Type 1 diabetes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about if shared medical appointment is an acceptable way to deliver care to youth with type 2 diabetes. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Design four group activities centered around nutrition therapy, peer interactions, exercise and stress management. * Design the clinical workflow for implementation phase. Participants will attend quarterly clinic appointments and group activities and take surveys. Researchers will compare this intervention to standard of care.
Youth with public insurance underutilize diabetes care, particularly diabetes technology which is associated with improvement in diabetes-specific outcomes. Thus, we urgently need studies to understand and increase diabetes technology utilization. This proposed research will (1) improve representation of youth in the literature, (2) address the gap in knowledge of barriers and promoters in youth, and (3) identify and address factors associated with diabetes technology uptake and utilization.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate additional dosing options for dulaglutide in pediatric participants with Type 2 Diabetes. Participation in this study will last about 8 months.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how much of LY3209590 gets into the blood stream after a single dose and how long it takes the body to remove it in pediatric participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The study will last for approximately 100 days.
This study will test the hypothesis that supplemental synchronous video visits and supplemental asynchronous remote monitoring can each significantly improve glycemic control for pediatric patients with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes over a 6 month period, and will compare health outcomes and patient-centered outcomes between these two intervention arms and a control arm receiving usual care.
The aim of this study is to look at changes in diabetes-related risk factors in Black adolescent girls who are at risk for type 2 diabetes and their primary female caregiver after both participating in a 12-week in-person lifestyle program.
This study is researching an experimental drug called mibavademab. The study is focused on participants with GLD who have been on metreleptin treatment for at least 6 months with no change in dose for the last 3 months. The aim of the study is to see how safe and tolerable mibavademab is when switching from treatment with metreleptin. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking mibavademab * How much mibavademab is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against mibavademab (which could make mibavademab less effective or could lead to side effects)
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of a nonmydriatic fundus camera using autonomous artificial intelligence software at the point of care increases the proportion of underserved youth with diabetes screened for diabetic retinopathy.
Purpose: This study will test the efficacy of a family-focused lifestyle intervention for reducing type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk factors and increasing Quality of Life (QoL) among high-risk Latino families.
As the prevalence of obesity rises in the U.S., so does the incidence of pediatric type 2 diabetes (T2D), which is associated with more aggressive disease progression than in adults. From 2002-2012, the incidence of T2D in youth increased by 7% annually in the U.S. Compared to adults. T2D in adolescents is a much more progressive and recalcitrant disease, characterized by more rapid deterioration of β-cell function and earlier incidence of exogenous insulin dependence and diabetes-related comorbidities. A potential factor that drives the rapid progression of adolescent T2D is obesity (body mass index \[BMI\] \>95th percentile. Effective and safe treatments targeting both obesity and β-cell dysfunction are needed for pediatric T2D. In 2012, the FDA approved the use of Phentermine/Topiramate for the treatment of obesity in adults. This orally-administered medication is available in mid- (phentermine 7.5 mg; topiramate 46 mg) and high- (phentermine 15 mg; topiramate 92 mg) doses, administered once per day. In a meta-analysis, phentermine/topiramate was shown to be one of the most effective obesity medication currently available. A large dose-ranging trial in adults evaluating phentermine and topiramate as monotherapies vs. phentermine/topiramate demonstrated superior efficacy of the combination with an acceptable safety profile. Results from a large phase III clinical trial demonstrated placebo-subtracted weight loss of \>9% with treatment for one year at the top dose. Importantly, a separate trial demonstrated that the treatment effect is durable out to at least two years.41 The most common side effects in these trials were paresthesia, dizziness, dysgeusia, insomnia, constipation, and dry mouth. Improvements were noted in blood pressure, lipids, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, C-reactive protein, and adiponectin.
To find the effectiveness of a diet plan (Time Limited Eating or TLE) on glycemic control, B-cell function, body fat, and body mass index (BMI) in adolescents with type 2 diabetes.
This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study intended to characterize the safety of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System when used to manage diabetes in pediatric and young adult patient populations.
The purpose of this study to compare the typically prescribed dose of metformin (1000mg twice a day) with a higher dose of metformin (1350mg twice a day).
The primary scientific question of this proposal is to investigate whether youth with T2D will wear and interact with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system and whether this will influence behavior and management decisions. There will be 30 participants enrolled in the study. 20 in the treatment arm and 10 in the control. The length of study participation will be 6 months for each participant.
Black/African American children and young adults with type 1 diabetes are less likely to use diabetes technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery systems, compared to White children and young adults. The investigators are working to find ways to make sure that all patients with type 1 diabetes are equally able to use these technologies. The purpose of this study is to find out if a new computer program for the diabetes team, along with a smartphone app (called Glucosano) for patients/parents, as well as a community health worker, are accepted and used by Black/African American patients and parents living with type 1 diabetes, and if this can help decrease racial disparities in the use of diabetes technologies.
This study will test the hypothesis that metabolic bariatric surgery will be more effective at providing durable glycemic control and reduce co-morbidities than intensive medical therapy in youth with type 2 diabetes.
