About this study

Official title: Prospective Study for Evaluation of the Insulin Resistance, Lipid Metabolism and Sub Clinical Cardiovascular Disease in Women Who Initiate the Depot-medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) Contraceptive Method With in Follow-up for Two Years

Objective:

The purpose of this study is to determine the etiology of the weight increase in Depot-medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) users.

Method:

Prospective study with 100 women, aged 18-40 years old and BMI < 30kg/m², paired with users of a non hormonal method follow for two years. Will be included only women who never used DMPA. There will be evaluated habit, blood pressure, anthropometric measure, distribution of corporal fat, lipids profile and glycemia parameters every six months. Thirty women and their control group will performed a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp to evaluate the resistance of insulin, adiponectin,neuropeptide Y, apolipoprotein A/B and arterial evaluation with ultrasound, intimal and media measure. Anova analysis for repeated samples. The metabolic alterations should elucidate the etiology, and the beginning of the sub clinical cardiovascular disease should be shown/discarded with the arterial evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Disease, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2015. 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 Brazil. 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?

insulin resistance (time frame: 12 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 NCT01527526, 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.
