Clinical study that investigated several hundred families with two or more blood relatives with interstitial cystitis in order to understand the molecular genetic basis of this condition. The study sought to find changes in genes that are found far more commonly in family members who have interstitial cystitis than in those who do not have the disease. Identifying these genes should lead to a better understanding of the cause of interstitial cystitis. This is a national study which is conducted by telephone and mail, and in which participants could participate entirely from their home.

Study testing whether strict glucose control lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes. In addition the study is exploring: 1) Whether in the context of good glycemic control the use of different lowering lipid drugs will further improve these outcomes and 2) If strict control of blood pressure will also have additional beneficial effects on reducing cardiovascular disease. The design was a randomized, multicenter, double 2 X 2 factorial trial in 10,251 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was designed to test the effects on major CVD events of intensive glycemia control, of fibrate treatment to increase HDL-cholesterol and lower triglycerides (in the context of good LDL-C and glycemia control), and of intensive blood pressure control (in the context of good glycemia control), each compared to an appropriate control. All 10,251 participants were in an overarching glycemia trial. In addition, one 2 X 2 trial addressed the lipid question in 5,518 of the participants and the other 2 X 2 trial addressed the blood pressure question in 4,733 of the participants. The glycemia trial was terminated early due to higher mortality in the intensive compared with the standard glycemia treatment strategies. The results were published in June 2008 (N Eng J Med 2008;358:2545-59). Study-delivered treatment for all ACCORD participants was stopped on June 30, 2009, and the participants were assisted as needed in transferring their care to a personal physician. The lipid and blood pressure results (as well as the microvascular outcomes and eye substudy results) were published in 2010. All participants are continuing to be followed in a non-treatment observational study.

Multi-center, placebo-controlled trial of ursodiol in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). A total of 150 patients with previously untreated PSC without cirrhosis were randomly assigned to receive high doses of ursodiol (20-25 mg/kg/day) or placebo for two years. Patients underwent medical evaluation, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, and liver biopsy before randomization and again at two-year intervals. The endpoints of therapy were progression of hepatic fibrosis, liver decompensation, liver transplantation, or death. The treatment phase of the study was stopped for futility in June 2008; however, patients continue to be followed. Ongoing mechanistic studies are underway.

Multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, intent-to-treat Phase III trial, designed to determine the effect of parenteral glutamine (GLN) dipeptide on important clinical outcomes in patients requiring surgical intensive care unit (SICU) care and parenteral nutrition (PN) after cardiac, vascular, or intestinal surgery. Patients who required PN and SICU care will receive either standard glutamine (GLN)-free PN (STD-PN) or isocaloric, isonitrogenous alanyl-glutamine dipeptide (AG)-PN until enteral feedings are established. The study will determine whether AG-PN decreases hospital mortality, nosocomial infection and other important indices of morbidity and will obtain mechanistically relevant observational data in the subjects on whether AG-PN a) increases serial blood concentrations of glutathione (GSH), heat shock proteins (HSP)-70 and -27, and glutamine; b) decreases the serum presence of the bacterial products flagellin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the adaptive immune response to these mediators; and c) improves key indices of innate and adaptive immunity.

Randomized controlled trial being conducted at two clinical centers in the United States to learn more about the effects of weight loss on urinary incontinence. About 330 overweight women aged 30 or older will participate and will be followed for 18 months. Efficacy of weight reduction as a treatment for urinary incontinence will be examined at 6 months following the intensive weight control program, and the sustained impact of the intervention will be examined at 18 months. To increase the maintenance of weight reduction and facilitate evaluation of the enduring impact of weight loss on urinary incontinence, they propose to study a motivation-based weight maintenance program. At the end of the intensive weight control program, women randomized to the weight loss program will be randomized to either a 12-month skill-based maintenance intervention or to a motivation-based maintenance intervention. The maintenance interventions maximize the potential for sustained weight loss and will allow them to determine if long-term weight reduction will produce continued improvement in urinary incontinence.

International consortium of six centers assembled to participate in the development and implementation of studies to identify infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental agents, including psychosocial factors, that trigger type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible people. The coordinating centers recruit and enroll subjects, obtaining informed consent from parents prior to or shortly after birth, genetic and other types of samples from neonates and parents, and prospectively following selected neonates throughout childhood or until development of islet autoimmunity or T1DM. The study tracks child diet, illnesses, allergies and other life experiences. A blood sample is taken from children every 3 months for 4 years. After 4 years, children will be seen every 6 months until the age of 15 years. Children are tested for 3 different autoantibodies. The study will compare the life experiences and blood and stool tests of the children who get autoantibodies and diabetes with some of those children who do not get autoantibodies or diabetes. In this way the study hopes to find the triggers of T1DM in children with higher risk genes.

Data and biological samples were collected by this consortium organizing international efforts to identify genes that determine an individual risk of type 1 diabetes. It originally focused on recruiting families with at least two siblings (brothers and/or sisters) who have type 1 diabetes (affected sibling pair or ASP families). The T1DGC completed enrollment for these families in August 2009. They completed enrollment of trios (father, mother, and a child with type 1 diabetes), as well as cases (people with type 1 diabetes) and controls (people with no history of type 1 diabetes) from populations with a low prevalence of this disease in January 2010. T1DGC Data and Samples: Phenotypic and genotypic data as well as biological samples (DNA, serum and plasma) for T1DGC participants have been deposited in the NIDDKCentral Repositories for future research.

International network of researchers who are exploring ways to prevent, delay and reverse the progression of type 1 diabetes. It is conducting clinical trials with researchers from 18 Clinical Centers in the United States, Canada, Finland, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. In addition, more than 150 medical centers and physician offices are participating in the TrialNet network. Studies are available for people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, as well as for relatives of people with type 1 diabetes who are at greater risk of developing the disease. This NIH-sponsored clinical trials network conducts studies designed to evaluate new approaches to prevent or ameliorate type 1 diabetes specifically by interdicting the type 1 diabetes disease process. These include interventions designed to decrease beta-cell destruction and/or enhance beta-cell survival. Studies are conducted in non-diabetic persons at risk of type 1 diabetes in an effort to delay the development of type 1 diabetes as a clinical disease; or (if initiated prior to appearance of autoimmunity) in an effort to delay the appearance of autoimmunity; or in individuals with type 1 diabetes who are either newly diagnosed or have evidence of sustained beta cell function. Studies include long-term follow-up of subjects developing type 1 diabetes. The TrialNet network also supports natural history and genetics studies in populations screened for or enrolled in studies conducted by the TrialNet study group. In addition, TrialNet will evaluate methodologies that enhance the conduct of clinical trials interdicting the type 1 diabetes disease process.

Collect, analyze, and communicate on comprehensive and current data on all islet/beta cell transplants in human recipients performed in North America, as well as some European and Australian centers to expedite progress and promote safety in islet/beta cell transplantation. This site serves as a repository for general information concerning protocols, clinical transplantation sites, publications, and other information of interest to the general community. Annual Reports are available. Islet/beta cell transplantation is a complex procedure with many factors contributing to the outcome. Compiling and analyzing data from all transplant centers in the US, Canada, as well as some European and Australian centers will accelerate the identification of both critical risk factors and key determinants of success and thereby guide transplant centers in developing and refining islet/beta cell transplant protocols. The inclusion of the term collaborative in the name of the Registry emphasizes the importance of collaboration in fulfilling the CITR mission and goals. Close collaboration with the transplant centers will ensure that relevant questions are addressed, that data submitted are accurate and complete, and that the needs of the transplant community are served. Information on how to participate as a CITR Transplant Center and to receive a transplant center application is available through the website. Progress in islet transplantation depends entirely on complete, high-quality medical data, including the information patients consented to report to the Collaborative Islet Transplant Registry. To make it as easy as possible to provide updated information about patient's health, an on-line questionnaire is available or patients can mail it to their transplant center. This information is very important in the continuing search for a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
