About this study

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of supervised combined aerobic and resistance training, and the effects of stage-matched written materials delivered by mail or internet, alone or in combination, on glycemic control as reflected in A1C (glycated hemoglobin).

Read the detailed description

Background Rationale: Structured, supervised exercise programs involving aerobic exercise, resistance exercise or their combination resulted in significant improvements in glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. It has also been shown that programs which include a psychological/behavioral component in addition to diet and exercise have been most effective for long-term treatment of obesity in diabetes. The supervised exercise program has stronger evidence for improvement of metabolic control and cardiac risk, but its longer-term sustainability has not been demonstrated, and it is relatively costly. A stage-matched printed materials/pedometer intervention has been shown to increase physical activity over a longer period of time, and likely at a lower per-patient cost than the supervised exercise intervention, but with less evidence for improvement of metabolic control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing High volume combined aerobic/resistance exercise, Low volume combined aerobic/resistance exercise and High volume combined A/R exercise, printouts, pedometers in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 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 5 Aug 2011. 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

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?

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?

The primary outcome will be A1c at the end of 6 months supervised exercise period. (time frame: 6 months). 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 5 Aug 2011.
