About this study

Official title: LIPGENE Dietary Intervention Study

The LIPGENE Human Dietary Intervention Study, multi-centre, trans -European, single-blinded, randomised, controlled trial with two principal aims. Firstly to determine the relative efficacy of reducing dietary SFA consumption, by altering quality of dietary fat and reducing the quantity of dietary fat, on metabolic and molecular risk factors of the metabolic syndrome. Secondly to determine if common genetic polymorphisms affect an individual's responsiveness to dietary therapy.

Read the detailed description

521 free-living subjects with the metabolic syndrome received one of four dietary treatments for 12 weeks: (1) High-fat (38% energy) SFA-rich diet; (2) High-fat (38% energy), MUFA-rich diet; (3) Isocaloric low-fat (28% energy), high-complex carbohydrate diet and (4) Isocaloric low-fat (28% energy), high-complex carbohydrate diet, with 1 g/d LC n-3 PUFA. A 3-day weighed food intake assessed dietary compliance pre-, mid- and post- intervention. An IVGTT, lipoprotein analysis, cytokine, adhesion molecule, coagulation factor and isoprostane levels were determined pre- and post-intervention. DNA, adipose and skeletal muscle biopsies, and PBMC were isolated to characterise nutrient sensitive molecular markers of insulin sensitivity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary Fatty Acid Modification in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by University College Dublin at 1 site in Ireland.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 21 Jan 2013. 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 Ireland. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IVGTT. The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00429195, which also lists 18 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 21 Jan 2013.
