About this study

Official title: The Research About the Influence of Medical Interventions in the Period of Insulin Resistance on Prevalence of Abnormal Glucose Tolerance

This research would take medical interventions in subjects of insulin resistance without abnormal glucose tolerance, to see if there were different prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance in different groups.

Read the detailed description

The situation of type 2 DM prevention in China is serious. The commonly accepted natural course of type 2 DM is as follows: obesity, insulin resistance(hyperinsulemia), abnormal glucose tolerance, DM and complications of DM; correspondently, the function status of pancreas islet β cells are: normal, compensatory, decompensatory, impaired and failure. Post researches have proved that using medical interventions after the period of insulin resistance when the function status of β cells were compensatory, the course could not be reversed. There were few clinical researches about effects of medical interventions in the period of insulin resistance . This research would take medical interventions in subjects of insulin resistance without abnormal glucose tolerance, to see if there were different prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance in different groups.

What participants receive

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

  • healthy lifestyleBehavioural

    food control and intensive exercise to lose weight

  • MetforminDrug

    use metformin to reduce insulin resistance

Study groups in NCT02502344
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
medical intervention groupExperimentalsubjects in this group will accept healthy lifestyle changes such as food control and intensive exercise for 3 months first. Then their insulin resistance will be evaluated again . If their insulin resistance didn't improve, then they will take metformin 0.5g qd to reduce insulin resistance. If their insulin resistance improved, they will continued healthy lifestyle changes.
Receives: Behavioral: healthy lifestyle; Drug: Metformin
clinical observeral groupNo interventionsubjects in this group will not accept medical interventions

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of abnormal glucose intolerance

    OGTT test will be took in these subjects to find out if their glucose tolerance was abnormal

    Measured: two years after the subject joins the research

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing healthy lifestyle and Metformin in people with Insulin Resistance, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 21 Jul 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Zi Q Zeng, Doctor (0086-010-56118899 ext. 18101127014, zzq@btch.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

prevalence of abnormal glucose intolerance (time frame: two years after the subject joins the research). 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 NCT02502344, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 21 Jul 2016.
