About this study

Official title: INGEAR-1: Effects of INtravenous Infusions of PYY3-36 and GLP-1, as Monoinfusion and in Combination, on ad Libitum Energy Intake, Appetite Sensation, and Energy Expenditure in Healthy Obese Subjects.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intravenous infusion of two gastrointestinal hormones, PYY3-36 and GLP-1, alone and in combination, on appetite in healthy obese men. The investigators hypothesize that an intravenous infusion of each hormone alone will decrease food intake at a buffet meal and decrease appetite, and that in combination, there will be a greater decrease in food intake and appetite compared to each hormone alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ad libitum energy intake

    Measured: Immediately following 3h IV infusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Energy expenditure (ventilated hood technique).

    Measured: During 3h IV infusion

  2. Changes in levels of glucose, insulin, C peptide, GIP, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, cholecystokinin

    Measured: Prior to, and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 mins during IV infusion

  3. Appetite sensation by visual analog scale

    Measured: Every 30 minutes during 3h IV infusion

  4. Gastric emptying (paracetamol)

    Measured: At time=15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 mins during IV infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PYY 3-36, GLP-1 and saline infusion in people with Obesity, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 15 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 15 Jun 2012. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Ad libitum energy intake (time frame: Immediately following 3h IV infusion). 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 NCT00940134, 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 15 Jun 2012.
