About this study
Official title: Effects of Brain Natriuretic Peptide on Appetite-regulating Hormones and Endothelial-derived Peptides
Chronic heart failure is accompanied by anorexia and increased release of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricular myocytes. The pathophysiological mechanisms linking heart failure and appetite-regulation remain unknown. This study aims to examine the impact of exogenous BNP administration on subjective ratings of hunger and satiety, and on appetite-regulating hormones in a placebo-controlled cross-over study performed in ten healthy human volunteers.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, single blinded randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, which will be conducted in ten healthy volunteers.
Each subject will participate in two study days/sessions, separated by a washout period of at least two weeks. The sessions will last approximately 4.5 hours. The subjects will come after having fasted overnight. Two intravenous cannulas will be placed in the right and left antecubital vein for infusions and blood sampling, respectively.
The subjects will receive intravenously once placebo and once 3.0 pmol/kg/min human active BNP (BNP-32) as a continuous intravenous infusion given during 4 hours (between time points 0 and 240 minutes). The order of study drugs will be randomized.
During the whole study session (lasting about 4.5 hours) the subject will remain fasted and confined to bed rest.
The changes in subjective ratings of hunger and satiety over time will be evaluated by 100 mm visual analog scales (VAS) half-hourly (between time points 0 and 240 minutes). Herewith the subjects rate their feeling of hunger (Hunger-VAS forms include the question: How hungry do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of hunger in a scale from 0 to 100 mm) and satiety (Satiety-VAS forms include the question: How satt do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of hunger in a scale from 0 to 100 mm).
Blood samples will be withdrawn twice at baseline (time points -5 minutes and 0 minutes) and hourly afterwards. Samples will be immediately cooled on ice, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -20°C for the later measurement of ghrelin, peptide YY, adiponectin, corticotropin, cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, insulin, adrenomedullin, endothelin, copeptin, growth differentiation factor 15, BNP and atrial natriuretic peptide. All assays will be performed using commercial radioimmunoassays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays at the very end of the study with samples belonging to (both study days) one subject being measured within one kit.
The changes in VAS and hormone concentrations over time will be evaluated using repeated measurements analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the SPSS release 12.0.1 statistical software.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in hunger scores on the visual analog scales (VAS) over time as compared to baseline (measured in mm)
Subjects will be asked to rate their feeling of hunger in 100 mm VAS half-hourly (between time points 0 and 240 minutes).
Hunger-VAS forms include the question: How hungry do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of hunger in a scale of 0 to 100 mm.
Measured: Time points -5, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes
Changes in satiety scores on the VAS over time as compared to baseline (measured in mm)
Subjects will be asked to rate their feeling of satiety in 100 mm VAS half-hourly (between time points 0 and 240 minutes).
Satiety-VAS forms include the question: How satt do you feel? Subjects are required to mark their feeling of satiety in a scale of 0 to 100 mm.
Measured: Time points -5, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes
Changes in plasma concentrations of ghrelin and acylated ghrelin over time as compared to baseline
Blood samples will be withdrawn from an intravenous cannula placed circa 10 minutes before the start of the study in the left antecubital vein. Samples will be immediately cooled on ice, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -20°C for the later measurement of ghrelin and acylated ghrelin. All assays will be performed using commercial assay kits at the very end of the study with samples belonging to (both study days) one subject being measured within one kit.
Measured: Timepoints -5, 0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes.
Changes in plasma concentrations of peptide YY (PYY) over time as compared to baseline
Blood samples will be withdrawn from an intravenous cannula placed circa 10 minutes before the start of the study in the left antecubital vein. Samples will be immediately cooled on ice, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -20°C for the later measurement of PYY. All PYY assays will be performed using commercial radioimmunoassay kits at the very end of the study with samples belonging to (both study days) one subject being measured within one kit.
Measured: Timepoints -5, 0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Changes in plasma concentrations of glucose and adiponectin over time as compared to baseline
Blood samples will be withdrawn from an intravenous cannula placed circa 10 minutes before the start of the study in the left antecubital vein. Glucose will be routinely measured in a certified laboratory (www.kimcl.at). Samples for the measurement of adiponectin will be immediately cooled on ice, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -20°C. All adiponectin assays will be performed using commercial kits at the very end of the study with samples belonging to (both study days) one subject being measured within one kit.
Measured: During two study sessions lasting 4 hours each and performed at least two weeks apart. Blood samples will be taken twice at baseline and then hourly afterwards (between time-points 0 minutes and 240 minutes)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Chronic heart failure is accompanied by anorexia and increased release of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricular myocytes. The pathophysiological mechanisms linking heart failure and appetite-regulation remain unknown. This study aims to examine the impact of exogenous BNP administration on subjective ratings of hunger and satiety, and on appetite-regulating hormones in a placebo-controlled cross-over study performed in ten healthy human volunteers.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing BNP and 0.9% NaCl in people with Healthy, run by Medical University of Vienna at 2 sites in Austria.
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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Austria. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Changes in hunger scores on the visual analog scales (VAS) over time as compared to baseline (measured in mm) (time frame: Time points -5, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes). The study lists 4 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 NCT01375153, 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 6 Apr 2017.
