Trial summary

Gut protein metabolism that could be influenced by protein supply is involved in the regulation of several physiological functions such as gut barrier function and represents a major contribution in the whole-body protein turnover. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Physiological Study on Glutamine and Leucine Effects on Intestinal Protein Metabolism

Gut protein metabolism that could be influenced by protein supply is involved in the regulation of several physiological functions such as gut barrier function and represents a major contribution in the whole-body protein turnover. Intracellular pathways implicated in the transduction of amino acids effects remained unknown in the human gut. Thus, the aim of the present project is to evaluate and to understand the effects of amino acids (glutamine, leucine) on gut protein metabolism (synthesis and degradation) in young healthy humans.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transduction Pathway and Proteinic Synthesis, run by University Hospital, Rouen 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 16 Oct 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 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 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?

assessment of intestinal protein synthesis stimulation by Leucine or glutamine in duodenal biopsy (time frame: 18 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 NCT01254110, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Oct 2013.
