About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress pathway is activated in peripheral tissues (adipose tissue) in insulin resistant diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects normoglycemic matched for age and sex an to investigate whether ER stress pathway can be activated in response to insulin. Indeed, some preliminar on rates studies shows that ER stress pathway is activated by insulin in liver and adipose tissue showing that hyperinsulinemia might help trigger stress path ER.

For this, we propose a case control study of type 2 diabetic patients vs control subjects in which markers of ER stress will be evaluated from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue obtained before and after euglycemic hyperinsulinemic. We chose to consider adipose tissue subcutaneous rather than visceral adipose tissue for obvious reasons of lesser invasiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Show an increase in markers of ER stress in fasting patients with type 2 diabetes

    Protein expression markers of ER stress pathway BiP / GRP 78, CHOP, ATF4 EDEM and XBP-1

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assess whether insulin induces an increase in markers of ER stress

    Insulin sensitivity

    Measured: 2 days

  2. Insulin secretion in response to glucose infusion

    Measured: 2 days

  3. Insulin secretion in response to arginine infusion

    Measured: 2 days

  4. Lipolysis on insulin

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 17 inclusion and 6 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 18 Apr 2016. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Show an increase in markers of ER stress in fasting patients with type 2 diabetes (time frame: 2 days). 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 18 Apr 2016.
