Trial summary

Obesity is common in adults with complex medical problems with ensuing complications afterwards. Obese patients suffer higher mortality and impaired functional status often as a result of their obesity. One primary goal to reduce both obesity and improve functional status is exercise.

About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Physical Activity and Health Outcomes in Overweight and Obese Medically Complex Adults, a Randomized Trial

Obesity is common in adults with complex medical problems with ensuing complications afterwards. Obese patients suffer higher mortality and impaired functional status often as a result of their obesity. One primary goal to reduce both obesity and improve functional status is exercise. The investigators hypothesize that a simple exercise intervention with limited behavioral goal-setting will reduce weight and increase functional status compared to usual care. As a secondary measure, the investigators hypothesize that using this intervention will reduce hospital admissions and ER visits.

Read the detailed description

We are enrolling up to 150 subjects where half will receive a pedometer and behavioral goal-setting at enrollment and half will receive a pedometer and goal-setting 2 months later. It is a 4 month study. Our aims are as follows:

Primary Aim: Determine the relationship between gait speed, grip strength and walking steps in patients randomized to a self-exercise program compared to usual care in complex medical patients.

Second Primary aim: To determine the effect of a self-exercise program compared to usual care on weight loss in complex medical patients.

Secondary Aim: Determine the relationship between the number of hospitalizations in patients randomized to a self-exercise program compared to usual care in complex medical patients.

  2. weight loss

    To determine the effect of a self-exercise program compared to usual care on weight loss in complex medical patients.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. number of hospitalizations

    Determine the relationship between the number of hospitalizations in patients randomized to a self-exercise program compared to usual care in complex medical patients.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Self-Exercise in people with Overweight and Obese, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 14 Jan 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Gait, Grip and Walking (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jan 2016.
