Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Hypothesis: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with pancreatic fibrosis that can be evaluated by minimally invasive imaging techniques. That fibrosis is associated with alteration of exocrine pancreatic function, defined as a reduced secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the development of nutritional deficiencies.

To test that hypothesis, a prospective, observational, cross-sectional, comparative, case-control study has been designed.

Pancreatic fibrosis will be evaluated by endoscopic ultrasound and quantitative elastography in cases (type-2 diabetes) and age-gender-matched controls without diabetes.

Pancreatic function will be explored by fecal elastase test and nutritional evaluation.

Calculated sample size is 94 patients (47 cases and 47 controls). Study period is 2 years.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Case

Cases are adult patients with type-2 diabetes, who undergo endoscopic ultrasound examination for any non-pancreatic indication.

Diagnostic Test: Endoscopic ultrasound
Evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis by endoscopic ultrasound and elastography. Evaluation of exocrine pancreatic function by fecal elastase-test and nutritional evaluation.
Other Names:
  • Fecal elastase test
  • Nutritional evaluation
  • Control

    Controls are adult, non-diabetic patients, who undergo endoscopic ultrasound examination for any non-pancreatic indication.

    Diagnostic Test: Endoscopic ultrasound
    Evaluation of pancreatic fibrosis by endoscopic ultrasound and elastography. Evaluation of exocrine pancreatic function by fecal elastase-test and nutritional evaluation.
    Other Names:
  • Fecal elastase test
  • Nutritional evaluation
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Degree of pancreatic fibrosis [Day 1]

      Evaluation of the degree of pancreatic fibrosis by endoscopic ultrasound and elastography.

    2. Degree of impairment of exocrine pancreatic function [Up to 7 days]

      Quantification of fecal elastase and evaluation of the nutritional status

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Prevalence of pancreatic atrophy [Day 1]

      Size of the pancreas as evaluated by endoscopic ultrasound

    2. Factors associated with pancreatic fibrosis [Day 1]

      Demographics and clinical data significantly associated with pancreatic fibrosis
