Clinical Studies

Open

  • Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of HAMS-AB in Mitigating Type 1 Diabetes in Newly Diagnosed Patients Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of HAMS-AB administered orally for 12 weeks.
  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing Using Candy: A Sweet Solution to Improve Screening Compliance in Cystic Fibrosis (OGTT CANDY) Rochester, Minn.

    The study aims to determine if a popular dextrose candy alternative yields a similar glycemic curve compared to the standard oral Dextrose solution used in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Additionally the study aims to determine if substituting the traditional oral dextrose solution used in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test for a candy alternative yields a higher level of patient satisfaction among children ages 10-21 in the Mayo Clinic Cystic Fibrosis Center. 
  • Pathway To Prevention Rochester, Minn.

    The overall objective of this study is to perform baseline and repeat assessments over time of the metabolic and immunologic status of individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) to:

    • characterize their risk for developing T1D and identify subjects eligible for prevention trials;
    • describe the pathogenic evolution of T1D; and
    • increase the understanding of the pathogenic factors involved in the development of T1D.

Closed for Enrollment

  • Assessment of CXCL10 in Plasma-derived Small Extracellular Vesicles in Children with New Onset Diabetes (CXCL10) Rochester, Minn.

    The goal of this work is to identify an early stage biomarker for type 1 diabetes. In vitro evidence using rodent models has identified a significant enrichment of the chemokine CXCL10 in β-cell derived sEV upon exposure to diabetogenic pro-inflammatory cytokines. The aims of this project will focus on 1) testing protocols for efficient isolation of plasma-derived sEV from small volumes of sample, 2) development of an assay for the sensitive detection of CXCL10 in plasma-derived sEV, and 3) characterization of plasma-derived sEV through assessment of concentration, size, and content (proteomics). The study plans to include children that are newly diagnosed with diabetes, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
  • Smart Insulin Pens: A Randomized, Crossover Prospective Interventional Pilot Study Assessing the Effect on Glycemic Control and Diabetes Related Burdens Rochester, Minn.

    The objectives of this study are to determine whether the InPen® alters the glycemic control and variability in adolescents and emerging adults with type 1 diabetes, and to determine if InPen® use alters the perceived burden of diabetes cares, diabetes distress scores, transition readiness scores, and parental experience of child illness scale (11-13).

     

     
  • Vaccine Effectiveness and Seroconversion to 23 Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccination in Children with Type 1 Diabetes (PPSV23) Rochester, Minn.

    Diabetics are at risk for invasive pneumococcal infections and are more likely to have severe outcomes with infection compared to the general population. The pneumococcal (PPSV23) vaccination is recommended for all people with type 1 diabetes, but whether the vaccine is beneficial for this population has not been established.  The purpose of this study is to determine if children with type 1 diabetes have adequate immune response to the PPSV23 vaccination and to assess factors affecting immune response through a pre and post vaccination blood sample.
