Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Insulin for Prevention of Diabetes in Relatives at Risk for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (NCT NCT00419562)

NCT ID: NCT00419562

Last Updated: 2020-05-07

Results Overview

Primary outcome is reported as the rate of type 1 diabetes per year among the primary stratum; type 1 diabetes was diagnosed based on metabolic testing and assessment of symptoms. This is calculated by dividing the number of participants who develop diabetes by the total number of years of follow-up.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Metabolic and immunological tests were conducted every 6 months; participants were followed for a median of 2.7 years

Primary outcome is reported as the rate of type 1 diabetes per year among the primary stratum; type 1 diabetes was diagnosed based on metabolic testing and assessment of symptoms. This is calculated by dividing the number of participants who develop diabetes by the total number of years of follow-up.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Metabolic and immunological tests were conducted every 6 months; participants were followed for a median of 2.7 years

Population: Stratum 2: mIAA Confirmed, (ICA Confirmed) OR (ICA Not Confirmed AND ICA512+ AND GAD65ab+), low functioning beta cells

Secondary outcome is reported as the rate of type 1 diabetes per year among secondary stratum 2; type 1 diabetes was diagnosed based on metabolic testing and assessment of symptoms. This is calculated by dividing the number of participants who develop diabetes by the total number of years of follow-up.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Metabolic and immunological tests were conducted every 6 months; participants were followed for a median of 2.7 years

Population: Combine stratum 3 (mIAA Confirmed, ICA Not Confirmed, ICA512+ OR GAD65ab+, high functioning beta cells) and stratum 4 (mIAA Confirmed, ICA Not Confirmed, ICA512+ OR GAD65ab+, low functioning beta cells)

Secondary outcome is reported as the rate of type 1 diabetes per year among secondary stratum 3+4; type 1 diabetes was diagnosed based on metabolic testing and assessment of symptoms. This is calculated by dividing the number of participants who develop diabetes by the total number of years of follow-up.
