About this study

Official title: Branched-Chain Amino Acid Dietary Reduction Under Weight Maintainance in Overweight Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of the branched-chain amino acids in the development of Insulin resistance in patients with diabetes

Read the detailed description

The proposed project aims to elucidate the role of the BCAA in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The project tests the hypothesis that a diet induced decrease of BCAAs concentrations alter the metabolic mechanisms involved in the control insulin resistance and diabetes progression.

The specific aims are to elucidate the effect of the diet induced decrease of BCAAs concentrations on (I) peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity (II) ectopic fat distribution (III) energy metabolism (IV) metabolic and inflammatory status

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Branched-chain amino acids reduced intake in people with Diabetes, run by German Diabetes Center at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Clamp test (time frame: up to 24 weeks). 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 NCT03261362, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jun 2023.
