Trial summary

Small body size at birth, slow weight gain during infancy and increase in body mass index after 2 years are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome. There is a large gap in our understanding of how early growth affects the cardiovascular system. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Early Origins of Cardiovascular Disease : the Consequence of Growth Restriction During Foetal Life and Infancy on Cardiovascular Structure and Function in Adulthood

Small body size at birth, slow weight gain during infancy and increase in body mass index after 2 years are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome. There is a large gap in our understanding of how early growth affects the cardiovascular system. Possible mechanisms include alterations in body composition, in cardiac structure, in vascular function, in renal function and epigenetic processes.

The Objective is to determine how size at birth and growth during infancy and childhood affect: body composition, cardiac structure and function, vascular and endothelial function, renal function, metabolic status and transcriptional and epigenetic characteristics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Danone Institute International at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 18 Jun 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 France. 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 Umberto SIMEONI, MD,PhD (33 (0)4 91 38 40 30, umberto.simeoni@mail.ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine how size at birth and growth during infancy and childhood affect: body composition, cardiac structure and function, vascular and endothelial function, renal function, metabolic status and transcriptional and epigenetic characteristics (time frame: 3 years). 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 18 Jun 2009.
