Trial summary

The effect of weight loss with long-term low calorie diet (LCD) on plasma metabolites is unknown. The aim was to examine whether a LCD-induced weight reduction results in changes in the extended plasma metabolites. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Three-year Mild Calorie Restriction Partially Protects Against Age-related Increase in Sphingomyelin and Reduces Obesity-associated Amino Acids

The effect of weight loss with long-term low calorie diet (LCD) on plasma metabolites is unknown. The aim was to examine whether a LCD-induced weight reduction results in changes in the extended plasma metabolites.

Read the detailed description

Overweight/obese subjects (25≤ BMI <33 kg/m2) aged 40 to 59 years consumed a LCD (an approximate 100 kcal/day calorie deficit) or a weight-maintenance diet (control) in a randomized, controlled design with 3-year intervention period.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. biochemistry analysis

    total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acids, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, Lp-PLA2

    Measured: 3-year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing LCD in people with Overweight and Obese, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 7 Mar 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

anthropometry (time frame: 3-year follow-up). 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 NCT02081898, 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 7 Mar 2014.
