About this study

The objective of this study is to determine whether obesity has a protective effect on muscle proteolysis in hemodialysis patients submitted to a short starvation. This effect will be tested by comparing measuring muscle proteolysis, using regional infusion of a tracer amino acid (D5 phenylalanine) in two groups of obese and non-obese patients compared to obese and non-obese control subjects.

Read the detailed description

In hemodialysis patients, the risk of death decreases almost linearly as BMI increases, including in obese patients. Experimental data suggest that obesity may be associated with a reduction of muscle proteolysis during fasting.

In the hemodialysis patients, after an overnight fast an increased use of endogenous energy stores has been reported. The objective of the study is to evaluate the potentially "protective" effect of obesity on protein catabolism during short fasting periods.

Twenty non diabetic patients (men and women) on maintenance hemodialysis for more than six months, aged of 30 to 70 years, will be included: 10 obese (BMI ≥ 30) and 10 non obese patients (18.5 <BMI <25) will be compared with 20 healthy volunteers (men and women) aged 30 to 70 years, obese and non obese, according to the same criteria.

On the investigation day, tracer kinetic studies will be associated with resting energy expenditure measurements and body composition analysis (using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

What is being measured

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

  1. Fasting muscle protein kinetics will be assessed by the isotope dilution technique using D5 phenylalanine. The isotopic plasma enrichment in phenylalanine will be measured after collection of arterialized and venous blood of the forearm.

    Measured: 9h to 13h the day of the investigation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Whole-body protein metabolism will be assessed after 13C-leucine infusion in order to determine proteolysis, protein synthesis and protein balance,

    Measured: 9h to 13h the day of the investigation

  2. Resting energy metabolism will be measured by indirect calorimetry.

    Measured: 10h to 11h and 12h to 12h40 the day of the investigation

  3. Lipid metabolism will be investigated by measuring the participation of energy substrates to the energy expenditure, determination of plasma free fatty acids and calculation of VLDL synthesis rates (measuring the isotopic enrichment of apo B100).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Proteolysis in people with Hemodialysis Patients, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 15 inclusion and 20 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 26 Jan 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 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 Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fasting muscle protein kinetics will be assessed by the isotope dilution technique using D5 phenylalanine. The isotopic plasma enrichment in phenylalanine will be measured after collection of arterialized and venous blood of the forearm. (time frame: 9h to 13h the day of the investigation). 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 26 Jan 2011.
