About this study
Official title: LAUNCH II: Learning About Activity and Understanding Nutrition for Better Child Health
The objective of this project is to pilot test a behavioral intervention that includes a home visit component compared to a clinic only and standard of care for the treatment of obesity in preschool age children. The results of this study will inform the design of a larger randomized control trial.
H1: The clinic + home intervention will result in a significantly greater decrease in BMIz compared to the in clinic only intervention or pediatric standard of care at 6 months post-treatment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Clinic + Home Behavioral InterventionBehavioural
A 6 month intervention consisting of two phases: Phase I Intensive intervention is 12 weekly sessions that alternate between a group-based clinic session (concurrent parent and child groups) and individual home visits. Phase II Maintenance is 12 weeks of every other week visits alternating between clinic and home. Treatment targets 3 components: Dietary education, physical activity and parenting training.
Pediatrician CounselingOther
A one-time 45 minute visit with a board certified pediatrician that focuses on the AAP guidelines for eating and physical activity for preschool aged children.
Clinic Only Behavioral InterventionBehavioural
A 6 month intervention consisting of two phases: Phase I Intensive intervention is 6 sessions delivered in a group-based format in clinic (concurrent parent and child groups) every other week. Phase II Maintenance is 3 monthly clinic visits. Treatment targets 3 components: Dietary education, physical activity and parenting training.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Clinic + Home Behavioral Intervention, Pediatrician Counseling and Clinic Only Behavioral Intervention in people with Obesity, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.
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 4 inclusion and 5 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 22 Oct 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 United States. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Change in BMI z score (time frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months). 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 Oct 2014.
