Sensor-Augmented Insulin-Pump Therapy in New-onset Diabetes After Transplantation
Austria85 participantsStarted 2012-08
Plain-language summary
The SAPT-NODAT study will test the hypotheses that intensive subcutaneous insulin treatment with short acting insulin, applied continuously through an insulin pump, (i) improves glycemic control, (ii) reduces the prevalence of NODAT and prediabetes, and (iii) offers further β-cell protection, in comparison to the standard of care control group, and the basal insulin treatment group. In the SAPT-NODAT study, we will employ sensor-augmented insulin-pump technology, which performs like a semi-closed loop to prevent hypoglycemic events. Patients in the SAPT-NODAT study will be followed through 24 months post-transplantation.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult patients with end stage renal disease undergoing kidney transplantation with a deceased or living donor kidney.
* Absence of diabetes prior to kidney transplantation, defined according to American Diabetes Association guideline (not on oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin with fasting glucose \<126 mg/dL).
* Receiving standard triple immunosuppressive medications that include tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolic sodium and steroids.
* Capable of understanding the study and willing to give informed written consent for study participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus prior to kidney transplantation, or receiving anti-diabetic medications, or having pre-transplant fasting glucose level equal or greater than 126 mg/dL on two occasions at least three days apart.
* Patients receiving an organ transplant other than kidney.
* Patients receiving an unlicensed drug or therapy within one month prior to study entry.
* Patients with history of hypersensitivity to injectable insulin.
* Patients with documented HIV infection.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
