The investigators are studying the accuracy of Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitors placed on babies with hyperinsulinism in the Miller Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The participants will wear the device for 10 days on their lateral thigh. Whenever blood sugars are checked by glucometer, the investigators will also record the continuous glucose monitor sugar. Additionally, if the continuous glucose monitor alarms for a low sugar or an impending low sugar, the investigators will check the blood sugar by glucometer and, if verified to be low, treat the low blood sugar accordingly.
The Phase 3 pivotal study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RZ358 for the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) as add-on to standard-of-care (SOC) therapy compared to SOC alone over 24 weeks and to evaluate the longer-term safety and efficacy of RZ358 during a subsequent open-label extension (OLE) period.
The purpose of the study is to provide access to 18F-DOPA PET to patients at Washington University and assess the utility of 18F-DOPA PET/MRI as a preoperative tool to detect and localize focal lesions in the pancreas that are causing hyperinsulinism.
Low blood sugars are known to cause brain damage in newborn babies. One of the most common causes of low blood sugars persisting beyond the new born period is a condition called congenital hyperinsulinism (HI). This is a disease whereby the pancreas secretes too much insulin and causes low blood sugars. Twenty to forty percent of these babies will have brain damage. There are two forms of this disease. In one form only a small part of the pancreas makes too much insulin (focal HI) and in the other, the whole pancreas make too much insulin (diffuse HI). Another very similar disease is insulinoma which occurs after birth, but also causes hyperinsulinism. If a surgeon could know which part of the pancreas has the focal lesion he could remove it and cure the patient. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a new investigational drug called Fluorodopa F 18, when used with a PET scan, can find the focal lesion and guide the surgeon to remove it, thus curing the patient and preventing further brain damage.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the glycemic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ersodetug for treatment of hypoglycemia in patients with Tumor-Associated Hyperinsulinism (tHI).
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of HM15136 when used as add-on therapy in subjects with CHI with persistent hypoglycemia while on standard of care treatment (SoC). HM15136 will be administered once weekly in multiple doses to subjects in multiple age including pediatric to find appropriate exposure-response data.
The goal of this project is to determine the role of FDOPA/PET as a pre-operative diagnostic imaging procedure for differentiating focal and diffuse forms of congenital hyperinsulinism and locating focal lesions in the pancreas to guide surgical resection.
The primary objective of the study is to assess metabolic plasma markers of insulin resistance in patients with early-stage HER2-negative breast cancers receiving dapagliflozin concomitant with neoadjuvant therapy.
The study aims to investigate the relationship between fasting insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) across various demographic factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. By analyzing these variables, the study seeks to identify potential variations in insulin levels, which could provide valuable insights into the impact of different factors on metabolic health and the development of insulin-related conditions.
The investigators are doing this study to learn more about how to prevent type 2 diabetes in teenage girls. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking part in a cognitive-behavioral therapy group, exercise training group, or a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and exercise training groups, decreases stress, improves mood, increases physical activity and physical fitness, and decreases insulin resistance among teenagers at risk for diabetes.
