About this study

Official title: Metabolic Adaptations to Six Month Caloric Restriction

This study is one of three CALERIE trials that test the hypothesis that a reduced calorie, nutritionally sound diet improves biomarkers of aging and prevents some age-related chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The three sites that are participating in the CALERIE trial represent a diversity of subject populations and interventional strategies.

Read the detailed description

This study tests whether chronic caloric restriction improves risk factors of longevity in humans as it is known to do in animals, by measuring a variety of factors dealing with metabolism and oxidative stress, through physical evaluations and laboratory tests.

Participants will receive dietary counseling and free medical evaluations. In addition, each volunteer will be asked to do one of the following:

  1. Follow a reduced calorie diet
  2. Follow a reduced calorie diet using a liquid diet
  3. Increase physical activity while on a reduced calorie diet
  4. Follow a standard diet.

Three separate five-day inpatient stays are required.

A study testing Caloric Restriction (CR) and Exercise in people with Aging and Cardiovascular Disease, run by National Institute on Aging (NIA) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00099151, which also lists 19 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Dec 2009.
