Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impars body weight reduction by changes in body composition and energy expenditure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of OSA in energy metabolism and body mass loss in obese subjects. Read more about this study

About this study

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impars body weight reduction by changes in body composition and energy expenditure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of OSA in energy metabolism and body mass loss in obese subjects. Ninety obese volunteers of both genders, 45 diagnosed with OSA and 45 without OSA, will be submitted to a dietary intervention of one months. Volunteers will be distributed into four groups: obese OSA PTN with moderate protein diet (1.6 g / kg protein / day), obese OSA CHO diet (0.8 g / kg protein / day) with standard composition diet, obese NSAOS PTN diet moderate in protein and CHO NSAOS obese standard diet. All groups will be instructed to perform a restricted energy diet (less 30% of daily energy expenditure). At baseline and one month after the beginning of the program the following evaluations will be conducted: total energy expenditure measured by doubly labeled water method, resting energy expenditure and thermic effect of food by calorimetry, polysomnography analysis, body composition by pletysmography, food consumption by three days of food diary, blood collection for analysis of lipid profile, visceral proteins, hormones related to control of body weight and inflammation. As hypothesis we believe that apneic obese individuals have greater difficult in weight loss and loss more free fat mass than the obese no apneic and that diets with more protein can contribute to greater weight loss, better body composition and energy expenditure in these population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy expenditure

    Measurements of energy expenditure by doubly labeled water for day energy expenditure and by calorimetry for resting energy expenditure and thermic effect of food

    Measured: up to 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Body Composition

    Bodu composition evaluation by pletismografy to determine fat mass and fat free mass

    Measured: Baseline, 1 month, 2 months and 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diet in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 5 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 4 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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?

Energy expenditure (time frame: up to 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01985035, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Jul 2016.
