About this study

Official title: Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of 2 Available Resources in Estrie, for the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes in High-risk Subjects

This study compared the efficacy at one year of an interdisciplinary approach including individual counseling and group seminars versus group seminars alone to induce weight loss in subjects at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

This study also compare if a participant's presence in small informative meeting groups as the only form of intervention is sufficient to induce a lifestyle change, thus inducing the weight loss needed for the prevention of the diseases associated with obesity.

Read the detailed description

Eligible participants will be randomized into 2 intervention groups (30 per group):

  1. Small Meeting groups: a curriculum of 25 meeting-seminars will take place for 45 minutes, each one approaching various aspects of nutrition, physical activity, psychology, motivation and medical needs. These seminars are administered by the professionals of the obesity clinic and are already in place. However, these are usually only offered to the patients registered with the obesity clinic.
  2. Obesity Clinic of CHUS: combination of 25 described meeting-seminars see-high, in addition to individual interviews every 6 weeks with the interdisciplinary team of the obesity clinic of CHUS (usual operation).

Subjects will be evaluated initially and then every 3 months during 1 year by the following measurements: questionnaires to evaluate motivation and physical activity; 3 day dietary journals; weight assessment, using both metabolic and mechanical balance; waist circumference; and blood pressure.

A medical evaluation with size measure, a test evaluating knowledge of the participants on obesity, OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) - a 5 hour determination of secretion and resistance to insulin, insulin-mediated suppression of plasma non-esterified fatty acids, a plasma lipid profile, accelerometry, bio electric impedance, and an activity physical test (6 minute walk test) will be carried out initially, and then repeated for up to 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. a weight loss of 7% in at least 19% of the subjects

    Measured: one year

  2. reduced body weight of at least 5.6 kg in at least 25% of the subjects

    Measured: one year

  3. an increase in the level of physical activity by at least 150 minutes per week in at least 29% of the subjects

    Measured: one year

  4. a reduced daily caloric intake of at least 450 kcal/jour in at least 25% of the subjects

    Measured: one year

  5. a reduced percentage of the calories introduced in the form of fat of at least 6.6%, in absolute value, in at least 25% of the subjects

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. change in insulin sensitivity by HOMA

    Measured: one year

  2. change in insulin secretion during an OGTT by deconvolution of plasma c-peptide

    Measured: one year

  3. change in beta cell function by calculation of the disposition index

    Measured: one year

  4. change in insulin-mediated suppression of plasma non-esterified fatty acids during an OGTT

    Measured: one year

  5. relation between weight loss and change in insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, and insulin-mediated suppression of plasma non-esterified fatty acids

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing interdisciplinary intervention or meeting-seminars in people with Overweight and Glucose Intolerance, run by Université de Sherbrooke 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 8 Oct 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 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. 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?

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?

a weight loss of 7% in at least 19% of the subjects (time frame: one year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00991549, 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 8 Oct 2009.
