Study Summary

This trial will test the effect of liraglutide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 analog, on blood sugar control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. Liraglutide is already approved for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents with Type 1 diabetes who are on a continuous insulin infusion and monitoring system, have had the disease for over a year, and an HbA1c level below 10%. It's not suitable for those with certain family medical histories like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome, past abdominal surgery or thyroid cancer, alcohol abuse issues, gastrointestinal diseases, pregnant/breastfeeding females, previous liraglutide use or specific types of diabetes.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how liraglutide affects blood sugar levels after meals in young people with Type 1 diabetes. Liraglutide is already used in adults with Type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if it can help control blood sugars better along with usual insulin therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Liraglutide may cause digestive issues such as nausea or vomiting; rare but serious side effects include pancreatitis and thyroid tumors. Since this drug is usually for Type 2 diabetes in adults, researchers will closely monitor participants for any adverse reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are elderly individuals welcome to participate in this research?

"People who wish to apply for this trial must be aged between 15 and 21. Out of the 1223 similar trials, this is one of the few that includes people in this age range."

Answered by AI

Are we still able to enroll patients in this research project?

"The clinical trial in question is not recruiting patients at this time, according to the information found on clinicaltrials.gov. This study was originally posted on 2012-05-01, and was last updated on 2022-03-07. Although this study is not searching for patients at this time, there are 1344 other studies actively looking for participants at this time."

Answered by AI

Has Liraglutide been accepted by the FDA as a treatment option?

"Liraglutide has been through multiple rounds of clinical trials, so its safety has been well-documented. Our team gives it a score of 3."

Answered by AI

What Liraglutide's common applications in medical treatment?

"Although often used as an exercise treatment, liraglutide can also help patients that have inadequate control on monotherapy, cardiovascular risk reduction, and cardiovascular disease (cvd)."

Answered by AI

Might I be able to help out with this research project?

"This clinical trial is admitting 5 adolescent patients that have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus for over a year. These individuals must also be currently using a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with continuous glucose monitoring device and have an HbA1c <10%."

Answered by AI

How many subjects are being observed in this experiment?

"As of right now, this study is no longer looking for patients that match the given criteria. The study was first posted on 2012-05-01 and was last updated on 2022-03-07. However, there are presently 1308 studies actively recruiting patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 36 studies for Liraglutide that are still searching for participants."
