Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on insulin sensitivity in people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a low serum magnesium concentration.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Magnesium gluconate has a safe profile and the recruited subjects will receive magnesium in the same way as used in daily clinical care. Possible side effects of magnesium gluconate are gastro-intestinal symptoms like diarrhoea. Their was a weekly telephone consultation with the investigator to monitor possible side effects. The use of venous catheters may cause hematomas or phlebitis which are self-limiting. During the clamp there is a potential risk of developing hypoglycemia, yet this risk is very low because plasma glucose levels are frequently monitored and glucose 20% is continuously infused, the rate of which will be increased when glucose levels tend to fall. In ver 1000 clamps performed to date, severe hypoglycemia has never occurred.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Subjects will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Radboud University Medical Center. Patients will be asked to participate by their treating physician. Subjects are also recruited via social media and via advertisements on websites of patient associations.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 30 participants were screened, 14 of whom were included (14 were excluded because their serum magnesium concentration was too high, 1 because of participation in another study, 1 because of a decreased renal function). First inclusion: 22-2-2022. Last inclusion: 3-8-2022.
