Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trials in El Paso, TX

The Gastroparesis Registry 4 (GpR4) is an observational study of patients with symptoms of gastroparesis (Gp) and functional dyspepsia (FD) with either delayed or normal gastric emptying. To better understand these disorders, this registry will capture demographic, clinical, physiological, questionnaire, and patient outcome data to characterize the patients and their clinical course. Participants will complete several questionnaires, complete a nutrient drink test and have a gastric emptying study. Read Less

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by the destruction of pancreatic β cells. T1D pathogenesis progresses through several stages: Stage 1 T1D includes the presence of β cell autoimmunity and thus presence of islet autoantibodies, without the presence of dysglycemia and symptoms. Stage 2 T1D includes the presence of islet autoantibodies and dysglycemia, also with no symptoms. Stage 3 T1D includes presence of islet autoantibodies, overt hyperglycemia, and symptoms; most patients with Stage 3 T1D meet standard diagnostic criteria for diabetes and require insulin treatment. Teplizumab has been shown to delay progression to Stage 3 in participants at Stage 2 in a Phase 2 clinical trial, leading to subsequent approval in the United States of America (USA). Patients outside of the USA are able to receive the treatment through Pre-Registration Import Licenses and Managed Access Programs. The current study will collect data on the use of teplizumab in routine care, to better understand which patients received teplizumab and how these patients were managed after they received the treatment.
