About this study

Official title: An Exercise Intervention in Insulin-Resistant Minority Adolescents

Hypothesis: Insulin-resistant African-American and Hispanic adolescents will show significant improvement of insulin sensitivity (SI) and positive changes associated with fibrinolytic markers and lipid profile after a two month supervised aerobic training.

Read the detailed description

The specific aims of the study are 1) To determine the effects of exercise on insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant African-American and Hispanic adolescents; 2) To determine the effects of exercise on fibrinolytic markers in insulin-resistant African-American and Hispanic adolescents.

The hypothesis is that insulin-resistant African-American and Hispanic adolescents will show significant improvement of insulin sensitivity (SI) and positive changes associated with fibrinolytic markers and lipid profile after a 1 month pre-training period and two-months of supervised, moderate intensity aerobic exercise.

Part I. Insulin-resistant African American and Hispanic adolescents from the DC metro area will be recruited through various recruitment efforts. Potential participants will have 2 screening visits in which their medical history, physical activity level, body mass index, and fasting plasma glucose and insulin or OGTT results will determine eligibility.

Part 2. If inclusion criteria is met, the subjects will undergo a 2 week dietary stabilization period, treadmill exercise testing, IVGTT, blood draws for fibrinolytic and lipid markers, DEXA scan, and anthropometric measurements. Subjects will have a 1 month pre-training period and 2 months of supervised, moderate intensity aerobic exercise. All baseline testing will be repeated after the exercise period to see any significant differences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Insulin Resistance and Obesity, run by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 21 May 2009. 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.

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?

Insulin sensitivity index (time frame: 6 month). 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 21 May 2009.
