About this study

Official title: Lifestyle Intervention in Patients With Diabetes Type 2 and the Association With the Gut Microbiota

To investigate whether targeted lifestyle intervention (exercise), induces a change in intestinal fecal microbiota related to improved glycemic control and systemic inflammation in patients with DM type 2.

Read the detailed description

Diet and exercise are the most beneficial lifestyle interventions in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, causing an increase in glucose tolerance.

One of the mechanisms through which these treatment modalities work might be explained through changes in the gut microbiota. Recent studies show that the chronic inflammatory status causing insulin resistance in DM type 2, is triggered by an increase in circulating bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Strict lifestyle intervention, such as exercise, so called Diabetes Bootcamp (DB), may manipulate the gut microbiota, reducing circulating LPS, causing an improvement of the insulin-mediated

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in gut microbiota composition upon exercise

    alfa-diversity, beta-diversity

    Measured: At baseline, after 7 weeks, after 13 weeks

  2. Change in insulin senistivity

    Rate of disappearance measured by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with stable glucose isotopes.

    Measured: Before and after exercise, i.e. from first visit (0 weeks) untill last visit (13 weeks)

  3. Change in capillary recruitment

    Insulin-induced capillary recruitment in skeletal muscle and heart

    Measured: Before and after exercise, i.e. from first visit (0 weeks) untill last visit (13 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in resting energy expenditure

    Indirect calorimetry

    Measured: Before and after exercise

  2. Changes in continous cardiovascular monitoring

    Measured: Before and after exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Combined aerobic and strength exercise in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insulin Sensitivity/Resistance, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 8 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 3 Jun 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 Netherlands. 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?

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?

Changes in gut microbiota composition upon exercise (time frame: At baseline, after 7 weeks, after 13 weeks). The study lists 3 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 3 Jun 2019.
