Trial summary

HDL in obese non-diabetic patients show major alterations in their function and thus their cardio-protective effects. These alterations could be explained by the quantitative and qualitative anomalies in the phospholipids and sphingolipids in the HDL. Read more about this study

About this study

HDL in obese non-diabetic patients show major alterations in their function and thus their cardio-protective effects. These alterations could be explained by the quantitative and qualitative anomalies in the phospholipids and sphingolipids in the HDL. These molecules play a major role in HDL function and probably present early modifications in obesity, even before the onset of glycaemia deregulation.

The aim of this study is to show the presence of qualitative and quantitative modifications of phospholipids and sphingolipids in HDL from obese patients compared with HDL from non-obese controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in the mass percentages of total phospholipids + sphingolipids compared with the total HDL mass

    in patients with abdominal obesity without hyperglycaemia compared with healthy controls

    Measured: At inclusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Difference in the percentage of each family of phospholipids or sphingolipids compared with total phospholipids + sphingolipids

    in patients with abdominal obesity but without hyperglycaemia compared with healthy controls

    Measured: At inclusion

  2. Difference in the percentage of each sub-family according to the nature of the fatty acids for phosphatidylcholines on the one hand and sphingomyelins on the other in patients

    with abdominal obesity but without hyperglycaemia compared with healthy control

    Measured: At inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sample in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon 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 14 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 10 Jan 2019. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Difference in the mass percentages of total phospholipids + sphingolipids compared with the total HDL mass (time frame: At inclusion). 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 10 Jan 2019.
