Who cannot join

  • Patients either pregnant or planning to become pregnant will be excluded
  • Women of childbearing potential will have a urine pregnancy test as part of the screening visit
  • Subjects who become pregnant during the study will undergo an exit visit and management of their IGT and Metabolic Syndrome will be returned to their primary care provider

  • Subjects with hypoxemic lung or heart disease
  • Subjects with established diabetes
  • Laboratory evidence for a disease known to cause neuropathy within 3 months of screening will be an exclusion (those without known abnormality or those with a remote abnormality (> 3 months) will undergo the serologic screening)
  • Significant neurological disease (e.g., Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, recent stroke)
  • Subjects taking drugs which interfere with the uptake or metabolism of catecholamines
  • Subjects with known history of chronic kidney disease or who have significant hepatic disease (AST, ALT > 3 times upper limit for normal) or a history of previous kidney, pancreas or cardiac transplantation.

About this study

The study will test whether damage of the heart nerves appears in patients before they develop diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Patients who have mild abnormalities of blood sugar, high blood pressure, abnormal lipids and/or obesity can have a condition called metabolic syndrome. These patients are at high risk for diabetes and Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN). Subjects with diagnosed metabolic syndrome will be expected to participate in the Metabolic Fitness Program which is a University of Michigan diet exercise program located in the Cardiology department at Domino Farms in Ann Arbor. Time required for this program and the study is 6 months. Clinic visits will involve Cardiac autonomic testing (CAN) procedures, PET scans and labs which will measure pre and post program intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Exercise and Diet (Metabolic Fitness Program) in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by University of Michigan 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 9 inclusion and 17 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 17 Dec 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 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?

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?

Cardiac autonomic testing (CAN) (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00907127, 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 17 Dec 2013.
