About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Pilot Study Evaluating the Effect of the GOLO for Life Weight Management Program on Weight and Metabolic Syndrome Indicators in Patients With Type II Diabetes Mellitus

The objective of this open-label pilot study is to evaluate the effect of the commercially available GOLO for Life (GFL) weight management program on body weight in a type 2 diabetic patient population after approximately 3 months.

Read the detailed description

Golo For Life (GFL) is a weight management program that helps people who are overweight or obese limit and portion their consumption of conventional foods and make healthier choices in their diets. GFL includes a point-based system from the four macronutrient food groups that is based on the individual's activity level and body mass. Additionally, GFL includes common-sense instructions, motivation and tips supporting compliance and requires a minimum of 15 minutes of exercise per day. GFL also includes a dietary supplement containing zinc and chromium, essential nutrients that support regulation of blood sugar.

In case studies from clinician and wellness program use, GFL has shown the ability to reduce body weight in both healthy and diabetic people who are overweight or obese. Secondary endpoints including measures of blood sugar have been observed to decrease as a result of the GFL program.

While GFL has been developed and used in private clinical practice in both healthy overweight and type 2 diabetic people, more systematic research is needed to determine to what extent it is able to support healthy weight loss. This open-label pilot study is intended to observe the effects of the program in a representative group of subjects with stable type 2 diabetes at one outpatient medical practice.

The objective of this open-label pilot study is to evaluate the effect of the commercially available GOLO for Life (GFL) weight management program on body weight in a type 2 diabetic patient population after approximately 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GOLO RELEASE in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type II, run by Golo at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 27 Mar 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Change from baseline in weight (time frame: 3 months). 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 27 Mar 2018.
