Trial summary

Context: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone with an insulin sensitizing effect, and has been related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In addition, children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness and the abnormality of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Read more about this study

  • Ages 5 to 12 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: The study population comprised 28 children with PWS and 18 controls. The enrolled children with PWS were volunteers from a pool of approximately 100 children with PWS followed up at the Samsung Medical Center. The controls were healthy children from several elementary and middle schools located in the southern areas of Seoul.

Who may be able to join

  • Prader Willi syndrome healthy children

Who cannot join

  • history of seizure,
  • mental or brain illness,
  • adenoidectomy,
  • tonsillectomy,
  • craniofacial anomalies and any treatment at the time of the study.

About this study

Context: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone with an insulin sensitizing effect, and has been related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In addition, children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness and the abnormality of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Objective: To determine if the sleep stages are related to the plasma levels of adiponectin, resistin, and RBP4 (retinol binding protein-4), and whether these relationships are influenced by age, obesity and insulin resistance.

Read the detailed description

This comparative study was carried out in 28 PWS children and 18 controls. The enrolled PWS children were volunteers out of a pool of approximately 100 PWS children followed at Samsung Medical Center [median age 8.0 years, interquartile range (7.0-10.5 years), BMI: median 24.2 kg/m2 (23.0-27.5 kg/m2)] and 18 obese healthy children [median age 9.0 years interquartile range (7.0-11.0 years), BMI: median 24.2 kg/m2 interquartile range (23.1-27.6 kg/m2)].

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prader-Willi Syndrome and Obesity, run by Samsung Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 19 Jun 2012.
