About this study

The primary objective of this study is to determine the influence of insulin resistance on drug metabolism and response in obese subjects. The investigators hypothesize that expression of adiponectin (a hormone secreted by fat tissue), and specific variants in the adiponectin gene can predict the insulin resistance and drug response among obese subjects.

Read the detailed description

The following study will hypothesizes that insulin resistance causes changes in drug metabolism, elimination, and effect. We will differentiate the insulin resistant phenotype amongst obese individuals on the basis of both laboratory (fasting insulin, triglycerides, fasting glucose) analysis, and quantitative and qualitative adiponectin expression. We will determine the effect of insulin resistance on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anesthetic induction agents and opioids, using propofol and fentanyl as examples.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Propofol and Fentanyl administrationDrug

    Also called anesthetic administration

    Propofol will be administered to all patients via infusion at a dose of 2 mg/kg lean body weight/minute. The infusion will stop once loss of consciousness is reached. Fentanyl will be administered via target controlled infusion to achieve a plasma concentration of 2 ng/ml.

Study groups in NCT01593397
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Propofol and Fentanyl administrationExperimentalPropofol and Fentanyl will be administered to all subjects. All subjects will have blood drawn to determine pharmacokinetic variables. Processed EEG will be used to determine pharmacodynamics. Plasma samples will be used to ascertain adiponectin levels and for DNA sampling for analysis of adiponectin single nucleotide polymorphisms.
Receives: Drug: Propofol and Fentanyl administration

What is being measured

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

  1. plasma concentration of drugs fentanyl and propofol

    Plasma concentration over time will be measured and modeled in order to calculate drug clearance, volume of distribution, area under the curve, and micro rate constants.

    Knowledge of these variables will allow safer administration of anesthetic drug administration in the obese population.

    Measured: measured for 12 hours (beginning of anesthesia to 12 hours after)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adiponectin plasma protein levels

    The investigators will measure specific levels of the protein adiponectin in the blood, to determine if quantitative expression of adiponectin can predict insulin resistance in obesity and drug metabolism and response.

    Measured: measured once (immediately before the operation)

  2. Adiponectin gene polymorphisms

    The investigators will look at specific genetic variants of the adiponectin gene to determine if expression of specific variants can predict insulin resistance and changed in drug response and metabolism.

    Measured: measured once per study (immediately before the operation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Propofol and Fentanyl administration in people with Obesity, run by Stanford University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 29 Dec 2017. 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?

plasma concentration of drugs fentanyl and propofol (time frame: measured for 12 hours (beginning of anesthesia to 12 hours after)). 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 29 Dec 2017.
