Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 30 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Obese men and women with pre-diabetes; (BMI 30-40 kg/m2)
  • Ages ranging from 30-60 years old;
  • Individuals with:
  • impaired fasting glucose (IFG), (between 100-125mg/dl, with post-prandial glucose (<140 mg/dl 2 hrs after 75g OGTT)
  • impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), (normal fasting glucose <100mg/dl, with post-prandial glucose (>140 mg/dl 2 hrs after 75g OGTT)
  • a combination of the two (IFG/IGT) (both impaired fasting glucose (100-125mg/dl), and impaired glucose tolerance (>140 mg/dl 2 hrs after 75g OGTT), will be verified using oral glucose tolerance testing at initial screening, and
  • Sedentary (<2 hours/week of planned physical activity).
  • To increase generalizability, and because each subject serves as their own control, women will be enrolled regardless of menopausal status, use of hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives.

Who cannot join

  • Regular exercise more than 2 hours/week,
  • medications that could affect glucose,
  • lipid metabolism,
  • thyroid disease,
  • history of lung disease,
  • pregnancy,
  • active cigarette smoking or exposure to second hand smoke, and
  • Severe plasma lipid disorders.

Exercise Training and Weight Loss InterventionExperimentalCombination weight loss/exercise training, on insulin sensitivity, muscle lipid composition and localization in skeletal muscle.

4 Month Weight Loss Only InterventionActive comparatorUse exercise training and weight loss as separate interventions in obese subjects with and without pre-diabetes.
Receives: Behavioral: Weight loss Only Intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in insulin sensitivity

    Change in insulin sensitivity measured before and after the 3 month weight loss and exercise training intervention

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in membrane localized diacylglycerol species

    Change in concentration of membrane and cytosolic diacylglycerol species before and after the intervention. Diacylglycerol is a lipid known to be related to insulin resistance.

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Weight loss and exercise training intervention and Weight loss Only Intervention in people with Diabetes and Pre-diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 25 Apr 2022. 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 insulin sensitivity (time frame: baseline and 3 months). 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 NCT02043405, 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 25 Apr 2022.
