About this study

Official title: Effect of an Intervention Program With Healthy Habits Plus Metformin or Conjugated Linoleic Acid Over Clinical Parameters and Molecular Pathways of Insulin Resistance in Obese Pediatric Patients

The purpose of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) vs metformin along with an intervention program with healthy habits on body composition, weight, M value in CLAMP and clinical laboratory values, as well as molecular and genetic changes in obese children.

Patients from the pediatric service of the Hospital from 8 to 18 years old with a body mass index ≥ Pc 95 and 35kg/m2 are randomized to either interventional group for 4 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing metformin, Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Healthy habits program in people with Obesity, run by Laboratorios Silanes S.A. de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 9 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2014. 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 Mexico. 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jorge A Gonzalez, Director (521 (55)54883761 ext. 3761, jogonzalez@silanes.com.mx), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in body mass index at 4 months (time frame: baseline, 4 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02063802, 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 14 Feb 2014.
