About this study

Official title: The 1,2,3 Plan: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Meal Replacement With a Lifestyle Modification Program vs. Standard Care at a Community Diabetes Clinic Serving a Low Socioeconomic Hispanic Population

Background and Rationale Research studies have shown that patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who lose weight have better glucose control and less risk for heart disease. It has been difficult to achieve these results in a non-research setting. Meal replacements (MR) are pre-packaged meals with appropriate calories and nutrients that enhance adherence to a weight loss program by reducing decision-making and facilitating target caloric intake. The University of Southern California (USC) arm of the NIH funded Look AHEAD study at Roybal Clinic has demonstrated acceptability and success of MRs in conjunction with a structured lifestyle modification program in achieving weight loss in underserved Hispanic T2DM patients.

Objectives Our short-term objective is to determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a 3-month full MR program in conjunction with a 1 year standardized lifestyle modification program in a clinic setting. Our longer-term goal is to acquire data for sample size and power estimates for a larger NIH- or other funded prospective, randomized trial.

Study Methodology A 1-year, prospective trial study of 30 obese subjects with T2DM treated with insulin randomized to 2 groups: standard care (SC) or Meal Replacement group (MR). The SC will receive usual care at Roybal Diabetes Management Clinic (DMC). The MR will receive MRs and a lifestyle course in addition to the usual clinical care at the Roybal DMC. Phase 1 consists of 3-months 1200 -1400cal diet using full MR. Phase 2 consists of a 3-month transition to the same caloric intake using regular meals and 1 MR/day . Phase 3 consists of a 6-month weight loss maintenance period with 1 MR/day. This will be about 1400-1600 calories/day for women and 1800 to 2000 calories/day for men. Individual and group educational, support and counseling visits will be components of all 3 phases of the study.

Outcomes Efficacy of the program will be determined by weight, waist measurement and waist to hip ratio, blood pressure, HbA1c, lipids, and medication use at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. These are all measurements that are done routinely in these patients. Safety will be determined by monitoring of adverse events.

Data Analysis We will compare the outcomes between the SC and MR at 0,3,6,9 and 12 months to determine if there is evidence that the intervention improves outcomes and is safe.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Meal Replacement in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, run by University of Southern California 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 11 inclusion and 17 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 20 Nov 2012. 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.

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?

Change in BMI (time frame: 12months). 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 20 Nov 2012.
