About this study

Official title: Multicentre Double Blind Placebo Controlled Parallel Group Dose Ranging Study of ATL-962 to Assess Weight Loss, Safety and Tolerability in Obese Patients With Type II Diabetes Being Treated With Metformin, in Comparison With Orlistat

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ATL-962 induces weight loss in diabetic patients and whether its safety and tolerability profile is superior to that of orlistat in such patients

Read the detailed description

Obesity is a significant and increasing clinical problem. There is a need for effective therapeutic agents to help people reduce weight. ATL-962 is a lipase inhibitor which could reduce the amount of fat absorbed from a person's diet, leading to weight reduction.

In this study patients with Type II diabetes who are clinically obese will receive ATL-962 at one of three dose levels, or placebo, or orlistat (another lipase inhibitor). The study will investigate the amount of weight lost after 12 weeks' treatment and will compare the safety and tolerability profile of ATL-962 and orlistat.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ATL-962 and Orlistat in people with Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity, run by Alizyme at 37 sites in 5 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 29 Aug 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in United Kingdom, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute weight loss compared to baseline. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00156897, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Aug 2006.
