About this study

Aims:

  1. Does inflammation contribute importantly to concurrent defects in vascular and metabolic dysfunction in human pre-diabetic obesity?
  2. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with metformin?
  3. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with lisinopril?
Read the detailed description

We set out to pursue the following Aims:

  1. Does inflammation contribute importantly to concurrent defects in vascular and metabolic dysfunction in human pre-diabetic obesity? Pilot studies were performed exploring the acute actions of salsalate on vascular function, the chronic actions of salasate in obese individuals, and actions of chronic salsalate to prevent vascular dysfunction induced by fatty acids in lean individuals.
  2. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with metformin? No studies were performed
  3. Are there benefits of anti-inflammatory treatment strategies in pre-diabetic obesity in the context of existing treatment with lisinopril? No studies were performed

The intent of the current project is to efficiently and at low cost generate preliminary data along each of these lines of questioning, studying the minimum number of subjects required to assess the viability of the question using the current measurement approaches.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chronic salsalateDrug

    Subjects will receive 2 months of treatment with 4 gram/day of oral salsalate divided into 3 doses.

  • Acute SalsalateDrug

    Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 2 gram of oral salsalate

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Acute SalsalateExperimentalNondiabetic lean and obese subjects will be studied in this arm. Subjects will be studied at baseline and after a single dose of oral salsalate.
Receives: Drug: Acute Salsalate
Chronic Salsalate - ObeseExperimentalObese subjects will be studied in this arm. Subjects will be studied at baseline and after 2 months' treatment with oral salsalate.
Receives: Drug: Chronic salsalate
Chronic Salsalate - LeanExperimentalLean subjects will be studied in this arm. Subjects will be studied at baseline and after 2 months' treatment with oral salsalate. The effects of an acute fatty acid infusion on vascular function will be measured on both occasions.
Receives: Drug: Chronic salsalate

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Vascular Function

    The primary endpoints of interest is flow-mediated vasodilation

    Measured: Measured at baseline and after a single oral dose of salsalate (Acute) or 2 months' treatment with salsalate (Chronic)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Chronic salsalate and Acute Salsalate in people with Pre-diabetes and Obesity, run by Indiana University 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 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2019. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Vascular Function (time frame: Measured at baseline and after a single oral dose of salsalate (Acute) or 2 months' treatment with salsalate (Chronic)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 1 Aug 2019.
