Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: STOMP Group:12-17 yrs. Patients in the program have severe complex obesity defined as children and youth who have a BMI >95th %ile for their age and gender in addition to one of the following: at least one significant obesity-related co-morbidity requiring specialty care (e.g. type 2 diabetes), other co-existing chronic illness impacted by obesity (e.g. CNS tumor, post-organ transplant), or a BMI ≥99th percentile for their age and gender Control: Approximately 50% of attendees choose not to book into the program, for reasons including difficulty attending the frequent appointments due to distance or inability to leave work early. This population will serve as the control group for the evaluation. Control participants will be recruited from the community through posters in the hospital.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients enrolled in the STOMP program are eligible to participate in the study.
  • Control participants must be between 12-18 years of age with a BMI >95th percentile for age.

Who cannot join

  • Control participants cannot be enrolled in the STOMP program.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the SickKids Team Obesity Management Program (STOMP)

In January 2010 a new interdisciplinary clinic (STOMP) was created to provide care for children and adolescents with severe 'complex' obesity. As part of the program, a subset of adolescents undergo bariatric surgery. There is a paucity of literature evaluating outcomes of children and adolescents participating in a 'clinical' setting and even fewer reports of outcomes of severely obese pediatric patients. Previously, the investigators evaluated clinical outcomes of children with craniopharyngioma and hypothalamic obesity attending an outpatient interdisciplinary program at SickKids (The Comprehensive Care Clinic for Children with Central Tumours) and found significant benefit to those attending, including reduction of weight gain (or weight loss), improved psychosocial functioning, and increased care satisfaction. STOMP is a natural extension of this program, incorporating some core elements (e.g., interdisciplinary team, frequent visits, individualized care plans for medically-complex adolescents) and building on other aspects, such as increased psychosocial intervention; involvement of a "key worker" (nurse practitioner) to support families; provision of continuity of care with other health providers in all settings, community services and schools; a more diverse patient population; and group support sessions. Evaluation of the outcomes of this clinic is needed to inform best practice for children and adolescents with severe complex obesity

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to conduct an evaluation of the STOMP clinic as a model of care with a specific focus on: (i) patient outcomes (anthropometric, metabolic, and psychosocial); and (ii) care coordination and care satisfaction.

Patient outcomes will be compared against baseline evaluation data over time, and to a control group of patients not enrolled in the program, but who expressed interest in the program and were unable to attend.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Mass Index

    BMI will be measured at Baseline and 12 months after treatment to evaluate change

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Body Mass Index

    BMI will be measured at Baseline and 12 months after treatment to evaluate change

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure

    Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure will be measured at Baseline and 12 months after treatment to evaluate change

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  2. Lipid profile

    The lipid profile (including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides) will be measured at Baseline and 12 months after treatment to evaluate change

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

  3. Glycemic control and Insulin resistance

    Glycemic control will be measured by HbA1c values and insulin resitance will be assed by HOMA-IR

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

  4. Health and weight-related quality of life

    This outcome measure will be assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)) and the impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jill Hamilton (416-813-5115 ext. 205115, jill.hamilton@sickkids.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body Mass Index (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Sep 2022.
