About this study

Official title: Improving Insulin Resistance and Energy Metabolism Through Sleep Extension in Adolescents: The REM Study

The investigators propose to deliver a 4-week sleep extension intervention to adolescents to evaluate feasibility of the protocol and obtain preliminary data on intra-individual changes in metabolic parameters induced by sleep extension.

Read the detailed description

The specific aims of this feasibility study are to 1) examine the feasibility of recruitment and retention of adolescents with overweight/obesity, pre-diabetes, and inadequate sleep into a sleep extension intervention; 2) assess adherence of a sleep extension intervention to increase total sleep time in adolescents with overweight/obesity, pre-diabetes, and inadequate sleep; 3) determine estimates of mean and variability of potential intervention outcomes including metabolomic, body composition, and substrate oxidation. The investigators propose to deliver a 4-week sleep extension intervention to adolescents to evaluate feasibility of the protocol and obtain preliminary data on intra-individual changes in metabolic parameters induced by sleep extension.

This proposal is the first step to demonstrate feasibility in delivering the intervention in a research setting, measure the effect of the intervention on changing sleep duration, and examine changes in obesity-related IR metabolites that would lead to improved IR in an adolescent population with pre-diabetes. The long-term goal is to disseminate an effective and feasible T2D prevention program that can be sustainably implemented in clinical weight management settings.

What participants receive

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

  • Extended Sleep InterventionBehavioural

    Participants will receive an Extended Sleep Intervention (ES). Participants will be prescribed a sleep schedule that allows them to obtain approximately 1.5 h more time in bed compared to their typical sleep. Prescribed bedtimes and wake times will be determined collaboratively through discussion with participants and parents.

Study groups in NCT03814512
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Extended Sleep Intervention (ES)ExperimentalParticipants will receive a Standard Care Diet and Physical Activity Education Intervention (SC) and an Extended Sleep Intervention (ES). For the SC, participants will have their diet, physical activity, and screen time assessed by study interventionist. Prescribed goals will be determined collaboratively through discussion with participants and parents. For the ES, participants will subsequently be prescribed a sleep schedule that allows them to obtain 1.5 h more time in bed compared to their typical sleep. Prescribed bedtimes and wake times will be determined collaboratively.
Receives: Behavioral: Extended Sleep Intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Total Sleep Time

    The amount of time (hours:minutes) the participant sleeps post-intervention compared to pre-intervention

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Extended Sleep Intervention in people with Sleep and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 1 Oct 2024. 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 in Total Sleep Time (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 1 Oct 2024.
