Trial summary

In this study, the investigators aimed to have pregnant women use a hand-held device to track increases in daily caloric needs during pregnancy. Weight gain was assessed over time with the goal of reducing excessive gestational weight gain relative to a group of pregnant women who received standard prenatal care. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Metabolic Tracking During Pregnancy to Promote Adequate Gestational Weight Gain

In this study, the investigators aimed to have pregnant women use a hand-held device to track increases in daily caloric needs during pregnancy. Weight gain was assessed over time with the goal of reducing excessive gestational weight gain relative to a group of pregnant women who received standard prenatal care.

Read the detailed description

Specific Aims

The investigators pursued the following specific aims:

  1. Evaluate the impact of a mobile, real-time metabolism tracking device on gestational weight gain (GWG) (i.e. total weight gain and rate of weight gain) in pregnant women. The investigators postulated that the metabolism tracking (Breezing) group would have a higher proportion of women who gain the appropriate amount of weight per IOM recommendations. Further, the investigators expected the women in the Breezing group to gain a mean weight within +/- 3 lbs of their recommended GWG range per IOM guidelines, compared to standard care-receiving controls.
  2. Assess changes in resting energy expenditure during pregnancy in relation to self-reported dietary intake (at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks). The investigators hypothesized that energy requirements would change across the second trimester and that self-reported caloric intakes would correlate with resting energy expenditure (REE)-corrected values (from Breezing) for women in the Breezing group.

Exploratory Aims

  1. Evaluate the associations among objective and self-reported sleep parameters (actigraphic total sleep time, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and mid-sleep point; sleep diary total sleep time, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and mid-sleep point; insomnia symptoms; and sleep disordered breathing risk) and GWG within the Breezing and control groups.

What participants receive

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

  • Breezing Metabolic Rate TrackingBehavioural

    Metabolism (indirect calorimetry) data were collected every two weeks over 13 weeks of gestation across the second trimester (weeks 13-27) and the values obtained were provided to the participant without health education.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Gestational Weight Gain

    Change in body weight from study baseline to 13 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks, 11 weeks, 13 weeks

  2. Change in Resting Energy Expenditure

    Change in resting energy expenditure, measued by indirect calorimetry, from study baseline to 13 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks, 11 weeks, 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Total Sleep Time

    Change in total sleep time, measured by wrist-worn actigraphy on the non-dominant arm, from study baseline to 11 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 5 weeks, 11 weeks

  2. Change in Sleep Onset Latency

    Change in sleep onset latency, measured by wrist-worn actigraphy on the non-dominant arm, from study baseline to 11 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 5 weeks, 11 weeks

  3. Change in Wake After Sleep Onset

    Change in wake after sleep onset, measured by wrist-worn actigraphy on the non-dominant arm, from study baseline to 11 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 5 weeks, 11 weeks

  4. Change in Mid-Sleep Point

    Change in mid-sleep point, measured by wrist-worn actigraphy on the non-dominant arm, from study baseline to 11 weeks

    Measured: 0 weeks, 5 weeks, 11 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breezing Metabolic Rate Tracking in people with Gestational Weight Gain, run by Arizona State University 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 18 Oct 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 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 Gestational Weight Gain (time frame: 0 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks, 11 weeks, 13 weeks). The study lists 2 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 18 Oct 2019.
