About this study

Official title: Influence of Lipid-lowering Drugs in Patients Seropositive for HIV With Lipodystrophy in Resting Energy Expenditure and Total Energy Expenditure

Background: Several studies have reported increased resting energy expenditure (REE) in people living with HIV/AIDS possibly due to changes in body composition that occurs in HIV lipodystrophy syndrome.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the use of lipid-lowering drugs in resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in patients seropositive for HIV in treatment of lipodystrophy.

Read the detailed description

REE was measured by indirect calorimetry.

TEE was measured by doubly labeled water (DLW) technique and an activity monitor based on accelerometry (AM).

Being tested
use of lipid-lowering drugs.
Keywords
energy expenditure, doubly labeled water, accelerometer, HIV, lipodystrophy syndrome.
Medical subject headings
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, HIV-Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome

What participants receive

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

  • use of lipid-lowering drugs.Drug

    Also called statins and fibrates

    The patients shoud be in use of a lipid-lowering drugs previouly, at least one month before of the begining of the study.

LIPO-HIPO-HIV-seropositive without lipodystrophy and no use of lipid-lowering drugs.
LIPO+HIPO-HIV-seropositive with lipodystrophy and no use of lipid-lowering drugs.
LIPO+HIPO+HIV-seropositive with lipodystrophy and use of lipid-lowering drugs.
Receives: Drug: use of lipid-lowering drugs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Energy Expenditure (kcal/d)

    Measured: 14 day

  2. Resting Energy Expenditure (kcal/d)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation between doubly labeled water and accelerometer to measure total energy expenditure (ICC, 95% CI)

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV/AIDS and HIV Lipodystrophy Syndrome, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Total Energy Expenditure (kcal/d) (time frame: 14 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Aug 2015.
