PROMASTER - PROspective Cohort MRC ABPI STratification and Extreme Response Mechanism in Diabetes

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Interventions
Drug: second- or third-line glucose-lowering diabetes treatment
Registration Number
NCT02105792
Lead Sponsor
Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

This study will examine extreme responders to second- and third-line Type 2 diabetes therapy using a prospective approach, and patients with slow or fast diabetes progression using a retrospective approach.

Detailed Description

PILOT Phase (March 2013 - Dec 2014) Participants will be recruited initially from 4 centres. Patients due to start second- and third-line Type 2 diabetes treatments, and patients progressing to insulin either particularly quickly or particularly slowly, will be recruited from primary care, secondary care, or community settings. Fasting blood and urine samples will be collected, together with standard biomeasures and information about medical history and prescribing history. Participants in Responders Arm will be contacted by telephone approximately 3 months after starting their new second/third-line agent to review their current medication and blood glucose level. If a 3 month HbA1c has not been collected as part of routine clinical care, the research team will arrange this. Participants will be asked to return for a blood and urine test approximately 6 months after their new treatment was started. This visit will be brought forward should the participant advise they are about to further change their treatment, to enable their samples to be collected in advance of their proposed treatment change.

All study documentation and sample materials will be distributed to sites from the Coordinating Centre. Sites will be expected to process and freeze samples and send them to the Chief Investigator's Central Laboratory where they will be analysed for genetic factors, glycaemic markers and other markers related to drug response.

POST-PILOT Phase (Jan 2015 - Oct 2017) Subject to feasibility, interim analysis and continuation of funding from Medical Research Council (MRC), this study will continue for another 3 years.

GroupInterventionDescription
Responderssecond- or third-line glucose-lowering diabetes treatmentPatients with Type 2 diabetes about to commence a second- or third-line glucose-lowering treatment (Sulphonylurea, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1R agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors or Glitazone or insulin).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response to diabetes therapyUp to 9 months from commencement of new therapy

The primary outcome will be to compare the clinical characteristics of the patients who show an excellent response or a poor response to specific second- and third-line classes of treatment for Type 2 diabetes.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Collection of samples for analysis of potential biomarkerswithin 9 months of recruitment date

To collect a set of DNA, serum and urine samples to allow analysis of potential genetic and non genetic biomarkers for drug response and diabetes progression.
