Assessing Progression to Type-2 Diabetes (APT-2D): A Prospective Cohort Study Expanded From BRITE-SPOT (Bio-bank and Registry for StratIfication and Targeted intErventions in the Spectrum Of Type 2 Diabetes)

The Bio-bank and Registry for StratIfication and Targeted intErventions in the Spectrum Of Type 2 Diabetes (BRITE-SPOT) has been set up to prospectively collect clinical data and biologically relevant samples from individuals with, and at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D), with the aim of delineating factors related to susceptibility, progression, complications and response to treatment. Expanded from BRITE-SPOT, Assessing the Progression to Type - 2 Diabetes (APT-2D) is a prospective cohort with a focus on non-diabetics (normoglycemic or prediabetic), to expand the sample size and depth of metabolic phenotyping in these upstream groups, with the more targeted aim of delineating factors related to insulin sensitivity versus secretion, that relate to progression to T2D.
