Trial summary

The overall goal of this proposal is to characterize the immune cell profile of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue in lean, overweight, obese and lipedema adults, and to evaluate potential associations between different adipose tissue immune cell types and metabolic profile.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 50 women already scheduled to undergo liposcution/lipectomy procedure for breast reconstruction associated with prophylactic mastectomy or mastectomy for in situ ductal breast corcinoma, cosmetic surgery, or abdominal lipectomy for severe obesity at either Barnes-Jewish Hospital or Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. Subjects of all races and ethnicity, with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 18.5 kg/m² and between the ages of 18 and 65 years of age will be included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Women of all races and ethnicity
  • Age between 18 and 65 years
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 kg/m²
  • Weight stable (+/- 3% during the last 2 months before enrollment)
  • Women already scheduled for above mentioned procedures

Who cannot join

  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Recent (<5 years) history of cancer (except in situ ductal breast carcinoma)
  • Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy within 4 months before enrollment
  • Immune system diseases (i.e., autoimmune disorders, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Take any medication that might affect immune function
  • Severe organ dysfunction
  • BMI <18.5 kg/m² or size of each breast is >600 grams, if scheduled for bilateral breast reconstruction

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Liposuction/lipectomyProcedure or surgery

    Subcutaneous adipose tissue will be obtained from liposuction/lipectomy to determine the types of immune cells

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the types of immune cells and the relative prevalence of each type and sub-type, in subcutaneous adipose tissue of normal weight, overweight, obese and lipedema adults.

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine the relationships among specific types and subtypes of immune cells, adiposity and cardiometabolic risk.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Determine Immune Cell Types in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 7 Sep 2017. 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?

Determine the types of immune cells and the relative prevalence of each type and sub-type, in subcutaneous adipose tissue of normal weight, overweight, obese and lipedema adults. (time frame: intraoperative). 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 7 Sep 2017.
