Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Type 2 diabetes in youth was almost unheard of only two decades ago. However, tracking the recent dramatic rise in childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes has become increasingly prevalent. Thus, there is an urgent need for high-quality clinical trials to increase in-depth knowledge about pathophysiology, optimal treatment, and prevention. We therefore systematically reviewed published and ongoing clinical trials of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. The results demonstrate that (i) few randomized clinical trials have been completed and published in children with type 2 diabetes; (ii) ongoing trials in type 1 diabetes clearly outnumber trials in type 2 diabetes; and (iii) recruitment and enrollment into the latter trials are challenging, however once achieved, drop-out rates are not excessively high. We conclude that type 2 diabetes in youth is an important but difficult new field of clinical research, and we discuss the existing barriers to successful recruitment, conduct, and support of these clinical trials.
