Trial summary

The main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (Suppression of serum cortisol <1.8 μg/dL ) as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Salivary CortisolOther

    • Day 1: 1st salivary cortisol at 23 hours
    • Day 2: 2nd salivary cortisol at 23 hours and administration of dexamethasone (for overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test)
    • Day 3: serum cortisol at 8 am
    • Between Day 4 and Month 3: if serum cortisol at 8 am > 18ng/mL:
    • Cortisol for 24 hours
    • dexamethasone suppression test (2mg/j during 2 days)
    • Cortisol and ACTH cycle
    • Noriodocholesterol scintigraphy

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with positive salivary cortisol dosage among patients with positive serum cortisol dosage

    The main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of patients with negative salivary cortisol dosage among patients with negative serum cortisol dosage

    To evaluate specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of salivary cortisol compared to serum cortisol at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test

  2. Comparing the results of salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosage

    To evaluate concordance between salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosage

  3. Comparing the results of the two salivary samples

    To evaluate the concordance of the two salivary samples

  4. Number of patients with metabolic complications of obesity among patients with ACIC

    To evaluate the link between ACIC and metabolic complications of obesity (insulin resistance, IFG, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD…)

  5. Number of patients with severe type 2 diabetes among patients with ACIC

    To evaluate the relationship between ACIC and severity of type 2 diabetes, if established.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Salivary Cortisol in people with Obesity, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2014. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Number of patients with a serum cortisol \> 18 ng/ml reached). 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?

Number of patients with positive salivary cortisol dosage among patients with positive serum cortisol dosage. 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 22 Jul 2014.
