About this study

Official title: Investigating the Relationship Between Circadian Phase and Insulin Resistance in Obese Adolescents

This study examines the relationship between sleep timing and insulin resistance in adolescents with obesity. The investigators also aim to develop a physiologically-based mathematical model of adolescent sleep/wake and circadian interactions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dim Light Melatonin Onset and Offset

    ~1mL saliva was collected at 30- to 60- minute intervals in dim light (<5 lux in the angle of gaze, approximately the light level of candlelight or civil twilight) from approximately 5pm until noon the next day. Dim light melatonin onset (DLMOn) was defined as the linear interpolated clock time at which evening salivary melatonin concentrations increased and remained above a threshold of 3pg/mL. Melatonin offset (DLMOff) was the linear interpolated clock time at which salivary melatonin concentrations fell below this threshold. Later DLMOn and DLMOff are indicative of a later circadian rhythm.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Insulin Sensitivity

    After an overnight fast, participants completed an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the morning. Participants consumed a 75g dextrose drink and serum for glucose and insulin concentrations were collected at baseline and every 30 minutes for 3 hours. The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated as [fasting insulin (μU/ml) x fasting glucose (mmol/l)] / 22.5); lower HOMA-IR indicates better insulin sensitivity. The Matsuda Index was calculated as √10,000 / [[fasting insulin (μU/ml) x fasting glucose (mmol/l)] x [mean OSTT insulin (μU/ml) x mean OSTT glucose (mmol/l)]]; high Matsuda Index indicates better insulin sensitivity.

    Measured: 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 19 Feb 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Dim Light Melatonin Onset and Offset (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 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 NCT02585830, 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 19 Feb 2020.
