About this study

Official title: Effect of Weight Loss Through Dietary Energy Restriction With or Without Exercise on Vascular and Metabolic Parameters in Subjects With Obesity

This study tests the hypothesis that exercise training can confer additional benefit to patients in weight-loss programs in the form of improvements in either metabolic or vascular parameters or both. Patients will be randomized to either diet plus conventional physical activity or diet plus a planned exercise training. The interventions will be carried out until the patients lose between 5% and 7.5% of their initial weight. At entry and at the end, all subjects will be evaluated for outcomes such as blood glucose, lipid profile, insulin, c-reactive protein, fibrinogen, vascular reactivity (doppler ultrasound) and total and abdominal visceral fat (CT-scan). Both groups will be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • General lifestyle, diet and physical activity counsellingBehavioural

    Low-calorie, balanced diet and a general advice on the importance of regular physical activity

  • Exercise trainingBehavioural

    Subject will receive dietary counselling (low-calorie, balanced diet) and will be enrolled in a supervised, 3 times a week, exercise training program

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing General lifestyle, diet and physical activity counselling and Exercise training in people with Obesity, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2011. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Reduction in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00929890, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Oct 2011.
