Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the mode of action of topiramate in the treatment of obese and diabetic patients by testing association between genetic variations within candidate genes or chromosomes (thread like structure found in cell which carries genes) and the clinical outcomes.

Study population: The patients from previous topiramate obesity and diabetes studies (PRI/TOP-INT-31 or PRI/TOP-INT-33 or a subset of patients with diabetes mellitus who were randomized within the PRI/TOP-INT-34 study at sites that also participated in the PRI/TOP-INT-31 study).

Who may be able to join

  • Must have been randomized within the previous topiramate obesity and diabetes studies: PRI/TOP-INT-31 or PRI/TOP-INT-33 or a subset of patients with diabetes mellitus who were randomized within the PRI/TOP-INT-34 study at sites that also participated in the PRI/TOP-INT-31 study
  • Must consent to participate and use data from previous clinical trials in connection with results from the genetic analyses

Who cannot join

  • Patients who received a blood transfusion within 60 days before collecting DNA samples

About this study

Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Mode of Action of Topiramate in the Treatment of Obese Subjects With and Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using DNA Samples From Subjects Who Were Randomized Within Select Previous Topiramate Studies

The purpose of this study is to explore the mode of action of topiramate in the treatment of obese and diabetic patients by testing association between genetic variations within candidate genes or chromosomes (thread like structure found in cell which carries genes) and the clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This pharmacogenomics (effect of genetic variation on drug response) study will analyze genetic variations in the DNA extracted from blood samples collected from patients who were randomized (assigned to treatments by chance) in 1 of 3 previous topiramate studies on obesity and diabetes. The study consist of a screening telephone contact, a single visit to the study site for a blood sample collection (10 ml of whole blood) for genetic analyses, and a 24-hour post-sample adverse event reporting period. The total duration of the study is 24 hours from the time of the blood sample collection. Safety will be monitored up to 24 hours after blood sample collection. No study medication was administered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change in weight

    The candidate gene analyses and the genome (entire hereditary information of organism) screen for percent change in weight will be performed in 3 phases. 1) Find polymorphisms (existence of distinctly different types in group of 1 species) within candidate genes and chromosomal regions that impact response to topiramate. 2) Confirm Phase 1 findings. 3) Verify that polymorphisms and chromosomal regions that were associated with percent change in weight in 2 phases are associated with percent change in weight in response to topiramate rather than change in diet and exercise.

    Measured: Baseleine to Week 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  2. Number of patients with central nervous system (CNS) related adverse events

    Most frequent CNS-related adverse events (ie, paresthesia, depression, difficulty with concentration/attention, anorexia, difficulty with memory, fatigue, somnolence, insomnia, mood problems, and hypoesthesia) and adverse events related to venipuncture are monitored during the study.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

  3. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: Baseline to Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 28 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Percent change in weight (time frame: Baseleine to Week 24). 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 28 Nov 2012.
