Study Definitions and Criteria Used in the NOD Study

Terms Study Definitions
Glycemic Parameters Only the following glycemic parameters measured in outpatient setting are to be assessed:
  • Fasting blood glucose (FBG)
  • Random (non-fasting) glucose
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
  • 2h blood glucose following 75 gm glucose load (oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT])
The following glucose measurements are not included: urine glucose, other body fluid glucose, blood glucose measured in emergency department, urgent care, or inpatient setting
Parameters of Diabetes Mellitus (PDM)   • Fasting blood glucose (≥126 mg/dl)
  • Random blood glucose (≥200 mg/dl)
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (≥6.5%)
  • 2h post oral glucose load (PG) ≥200 mg/dl during OGTT
Diagnosis of Diabetes (DxDM) Any (1) of the following:
  • Any (2) PDMs present on consecutive or simultaneous testing
  • On anti-diabetic medications preceded by at least (1) PDM*
Date of meeting criteria for DM (DtDM) Whichever of the following is earliest:
  • Date of first of (2) consecutive or simultaneous measured PDMs
  • Date of first PDM if patient is started on anti-DM medications following this measurement
New-onset DM Meets all the following criteria:
  • Age ≥50 and ≤85 years
  • Date of meeting criteria for DM ≤90 days prior to enrollment
  • Have had glycemic parameter(s) measured in the 3-18 months prior to screening (demonstrating absence of PDM)
PDAC Definition   • Definite: Requires biopsy proof of pancreatic adenocarcinoma on autopsy, biopsy, or surgical resection of pancreatic lesion or adenocarcinoma on biopsy of a metastatic lesion with imaging evidence of pancreatic mass
  • Probable: presence of one of the following: 1. Obstructive jaundice and low-density pancreatic head mass, OR 2. Low density pancreatic mass and elevated serum CA 19-9 level
  • Possible: Jaundice, anorexia, and/or weight loss associated with an indeterminate pancreatic lesion or normal pancreatic imaging
*

If patient has (1) PDM and has started anti-diabetic medication within 3 months; repeat value may or may not meet PDM, patient is still eligible.
