Trial summary

The bone tissue of the human adult body is in a constant process of break-down (resorption) and rebuilding (formation), a process called bone remodeling. The extent to which bone remodeling happens varies during the day, especially a decrease in the bone resorption is observed after eating. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Examination of the Postprandial Bone Remodeling in Persons With Reduced Activity of the Receptor for the Enteric Hormone Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide

The bone tissue of the human adult body is in a constant process of break-down (resorption) and rebuilding (formation), a process called bone remodeling. The extent to which bone remodeling happens varies during the day, especially a decrease in the bone resorption is observed after eating.

The overall purpose of this study is to examine the possible role of the hormone Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) in Bone Remodeling. GIP is released from cells in the gut after eating, and previous studies have shown an effect of GIP on bone tissue. In addition, it has been observed that the risk of bone fracture is 60% higher in women with a mutation in the GIP receptor, when compared to women with a normal functioning GIP receptor.

In the present study humans with a mutation in their GIP receptor is compared to humans with a normal functioning GIP receptor. The study population will be examined during a meal stimulation test, where blood will be sampled regularly. The blood samples will be examined for markers of bone resorption among other markers of bone remodeling, GIP and other gut hormones.

The hypothesis for the present study is that GIP secreted after meal ingestion inhibits bone resorption. Thus it is expected that the decrease in resorption is less pronounced in the humans carrying the GIP-receptor mutation, compared to humans with a normal functioning GIP receptor.

What is being measured

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

  1. CTx

    CTx is a biomarker of bone resorption.

    Measured: 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240 minutes after intake of the meal test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Remodeling, 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 29 Jul 2016. 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. 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?

CTx (time frame: 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240 minutes after intake of the meal test.). 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 NCT02518737, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 29 Jul 2016.
