Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to see if a twelve-week exercise intervention in overweight or obese subjects with pre-diabetes or early disease course type 2 diabetes can lead to improved skeletal muscle capillary blood flow by improving substances that dilate blood vessels and result in improved insulin sensitivity.

Official title: Physical Activity and Obesity: The Role of Nitric Oxide and Eicosanoids in Regulating Capillary Perfusion and Vascular Insulin Resistance

The purpose of the study is to see if a twelve-week exercise intervention in overweight or obese subjects with pre-diabetes or early disease course type 2 diabetes can lead to improved skeletal muscle capillary blood flow by improving substances that dilate blood vessels and result in improved insulin sensitivity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Insulin mediated skeletal muslce blood flow and capillary recruitment

    Contrast enhanced ultrasound skeltal muscle perfusion imaging will be performed at rest and during glucose steady state infusion during an insulin clamp. The change in blood flow will be determined between the resting state and at peak steady state to determine the absolute increase in skeletal muslce blood flow (ml/min/g) as well as the absolute increase in capillary blood volume (ml/g) of tissue

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quantification of endothelial derived Vasodilators

    To quantify the changes in endothelial derived vasodilators. For this aim nitric oxide bioavailability as tested by flow mediated vasodilation will be performed and reported as absolute change (cm) and percent change (%) in brachial artery diameter from baseline to post ischemic occlusion of the forearm. Plasma samples for eicosanoids will be collected and assessed by liquid chormatography/mass spectroscopy to to assess changes in endothelial derived vasodilators.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Activity in people with Obesity and Prediabetic State, run by Oregon Health and Science 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 6 Aug 2019. 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?

Insulin mediated skeletal muslce blood flow and capillary recruitment (time frame: 3 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 NCT02060240, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 6 Aug 2019.
