About this study

The purpose of this study is to find determinants of insulin-induced weight gain in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Primary objective: To find an association between weight gain after start of insulin therapy and physical activity levels.

Read the detailed description

Insulin therapy is frequently needed to achieve adequate glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but often at the expense of weight gain. Insulin-induced weight gain is obviously undesirable in an already overweight population and may negatively affect blood pressure, lipid levels, inflammatory and fibrinolytic parameters, adipocytokines and also deter further optimization of insulin therapy. It is unknown what determinants predict insulin-induced weight gain in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of this study therefore, is to assess determinants of insulin-induced weight gain in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In a retrospective and cross-sectional study (Jansen HJ et al., submitted) two extreme subgroups were identified (subjects with a weight gain above 80th percentile) and subgroup non-weight gainers (subjects with a weight gain below the 20th percentile). It was found that the gainers had less energy expenditure after initiation of insulin therapy than non-weight gainers. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to detect an association between energy expenditure and weight gain

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Weight Gain, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 3 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Henry Jansen, MD (0031243611111, h.jansen@aig.umcn.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To detect an association between insulin-induced weight gain and physical activity levels (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00781495, 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 12 Jul 2011.
