Trial summary

The aim of the study is to generate normal ranges for φ, BIVA and BCC. The calculation of FMI and FFMI is based on the results of two other clinical investigations: "Generation of prediction equation to analyze body composition of adults based on Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)" (BCA-01) and "Application and… Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of the study is to generate normal ranges for φ, BIVA and BCC. The calculation of FMI and FFMI is based on the results of two other clinical investigations: "Generation of prediction equation to analyze body composition of adults based on Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)" (BCA-01) and "Application and adaption of device specific body composition formulas to various ethnic groups" (BCA-02). The aim of BCA-01 was to develop prediction equations for calculating FFM, TBW, ECW and SMM based on the gold standard reference methods ADP, DXA, MRI, D2O and NaBr on the one hand and measurement data of the BIA devices on the other hand. The equations are necessary to use the device as a Body Composition Analyzer with an acceptable accuracy level for clinical practice. The aim of the study BCA-02 was to apply and adapt device specific body composition formulas to various ethnic groups.

healthy adultsThe study will cover 992 healthy adults. 496 men and 496 women in an age range of 18 to 65 years are planned to be recruited.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bioelectrical Impedance of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 500, 750 and 1,000 kHz

    The measurement is planned to be done for all body segments: right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, trunk, right body side and left body side. In total resistance and reactance at 19 frequencies for 7 body segments are planned to be measured.

    Measured: about 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Verification of equivalence to a predicate device in accordance to Premarket Notification [510(k)] process of the FDA for product approval in the U. S.

    Predicate Device: BIOSPACE INBODY 720

    Measured: about 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Seca GmbH & Co. Kg. at 1 site in Germany.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 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 Germany. 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?

Bioelectrical Impedance of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 500, 750 and 1,000 kHz (time frame: about 15 minutes). 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 NCT01481285, 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 4 Oct 2012.
