PrediabetesPhase 2FLIPNCT01589835
Preventing Diabetes in Those at Risk by Having a Facilitator and Family Doctor Encourage Healthy Activity and Eating Habits
A Phase 2 study testing Lifestyle changes in people with Prediabetes, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
Nearly six million Canadians are living with an increased risk of diabetes (prediabetes) and approximately 50% of these will develop type 2 diabetes within five years. The investigators wish to help these people change their lifestyle, to prevent them from getting diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Preventing Diabetes With Facilitated Lifestyle Intervention Prescriptions.Phase 2: Pilot Study
Nearly six million Canadians are living with an increased risk of diabetes (prediabetes) and approximately 50% of these will develop type 2 diabetes within five years. The investigators wish to help these people change their lifestyle, to prevent them from getting diabetes. Trials have shown that by supporting people with prediabetes to be more active and have healthier eating habits they can halve their risk. However, these interventions were very costly and not performed in Canada. With the help of local Family Physicians and other health professionals (e.g. physiotherapy, psychology, endocrinology, nursing) the investigators have created a less expensive intervention suitable for the Canadian population and health system. The investigators need to perform a study to see whether these modified approaches are practical for Canadians and likely to be effective. People at risk will be invited to participate from family practices that have helped us in the initial stages of this program. Family practices will be randomized to giving either the study intervention or continue with the physician's usual care. People receiving the intervention will have an appointment with their family doctor to discuss their exercise and eating habits and agree changes that are necessary. A prescription detailing these changes will be completed and signed by the family physician and participant. Participants will be given the name of a lifestyle change facilitator (LCF) who will receive a copy of the prescription and contact the participant to help them set achievable goals. The LCF will contact participants once a month for six months to help them achieve these goals. The investigators eventual aim is to test this intervention in a large-scale randomized control trial. To achieve this it is necessary to pilot all aspects of the trial. Information from the pilot study can then be used to design and perform a large-scale study effectively. The investigators hope that eventually the numbers of Canadians progressing to having diabetes will be reduced.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Lifestyle changes in people with Prediabetes, run by University of British Columbia 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 11 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 5 Mar 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 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
HbA1c Progression to diabetes (time frame: 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 5 Mar 2014.
