About this study

Official title: Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 and Risks of Sarcopenia and Mortality in Patients With Cognitive Impairment

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF)-1 is an important neuromyotrophic hormone. Disregulation of this hormone has been reported to influence the genesis of cognitive impairment and dementia in the elderly patients. We analyzed the possible link between IGF-1 and risk of Sarcopenia and Mortality in a cohort of elder patients with cognitive impairment.

What is being measured

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

  1. IGF-1 reduction in patients with sarcopenia

    IGF-1 reduction could be linked to sarcopenia in patients with cognitive impairment

    Measured: baseline, 24 months, 48 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. IGF-1 reduction and mortality in patients with cognitive impairment

    IGF-1 could be an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with cognitive impairment

    Measured: baseline, 24 months, 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 2 sites in Italy.

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 2 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 15 May 2014. 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 Italy. 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?

IGF-1 reduction in patients with sarcopenia (time frame: baseline, 24 months, 48 months). 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 15 May 2014.
