About this study
Official title: Treating Childhood Obesity With Family Lifestyle Change
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intense family-centered program to help children, 4 to 7 years old, control their weight is more effective than the advise and referrals their health provider gives in the primary care office.
Read the detailed description
This randomized controlled trial is designed to determine whether an intense 6 month family-centered intervention to increase physical activity and health eating patterns, primarily directed at parents, followed by a 6 month maintenance period, will be significantly more successful in controlling weight in overweight/obese children, ages 4-7 years, than usual standard care, at 2 years after enrollment. The intervention group (180 children with a BMI > 85% percentile) will receive standard of care, as well as, additional parental counseling. Parents will receive intense counseling regarding developmentally appropriate physical activity, strategies for reducing sedentary behaviors, nutritional counseling, and behavioral counseling including a self-management program to use with their children at home. The group will meet once a week for the initial 8 weeks, biweekly for 8 weeks, and monthly for 2 months. Following this period (the next 6 months), a case manager will call the family on a monthly basis and the family will be sent educational and support information by mail. The control group (60 children with a BMI > 85% percentile) will receive standard care provided by their primary care provider and be offered a six week optional parenting class. All children will have a medical history, physical examination, and anthropometric measures, nutritional assessment, measurement of physical activity, and behavioral/psycho-social measures provided by study personnel. Outcome measurements will be done at baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Team PLAY in people with Obesity, run by University of Tennessee 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 2 inclusion and 11 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 18 Feb 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 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.
What does this combined 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.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Primary - Body Mass index (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00528164, which also lists 3 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 18 Feb 2013.
