About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Lipodystrophy Syndrome and Secondary Metabolic Syndrome in HIV-infected Patients

To evaluate the prevalence of lipodystrophy syndrome in patients receiving currently available antiretroviral drugs, and the prevalence of associated metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected patients with a previous diagnosis of lipodystrophy syndrome, according to the severity of fat accumulation and antiretroviral drug use.

Read the detailed description

Cross-sectional evaluation of two groups of patients:

  • patients receiving currently available drugs, in order to determine the changes in fat accumulation by successive dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) determinations
  • patients with previous lipodystrophy syndrome, as evaluated by questionnaire (HOPS) and total body dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), in order to determine the prevalence of hypertension, low high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, glucose disturbance (insulin resistance or diabetes), fat accumulation (waist circumference) and hypertriglyceridemia.

The prevalence of Metabolic syndrome will be evaluated according to the different definitions (IDF, NCEP-ATP III, WHO).

Being tested
Evaluation of metabolic syndrome, Evaluation of changes in fat by DXA while on current therapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Evaluation of metabolic syndromeOther

    Evaluation and analytical determinations of the different components of the syndrome

  • Evaluation of changes in fat by DXA while on current therapyOther

    Comparison of changes in fat (visceral and subcutaneous) by dual X-ray absorptiometry since therapy initiation

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome as defined by the NCEP-ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Programme-Adult Treatment Panel III)

    Prevalence of the different components of this syndrome: Abdominal obesity: waist circumference ≥102 cm in men and ≥88 cm in women, hypertriglyceridemia: ≥150 mg/dl (1.695 mmol/l), low HDL-C: <40 mg/dl in men and <50 mg/dl in women, high blood pressure (BP): >130/85 mmHg, and high fasting glucose: >110 mg/dl.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Prevalence of lipodystrophy syndrome as defined by changes in fat by DXA

    Comparison of changes in visceral and subcutaneous fat during current antiretroviral therapy for patients receiving current antiretroviral regimens and who never received thymidine analogues, didanosine, lopinavir, indinavir, or nelfinavir.

    Measured: 6 meses

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Value of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in predicting the development of lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome

    Correlations of visceral fat by DXA with fat accumulation, hypertension, diabetes or hypertriglyeceridemia

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lipodystrophy and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Asociacion para el Estudio de las Enfermedades Infecciosas at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 2 Jul 2018. 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 Spain. 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?

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome as defined by the NCEP-ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Programme-Adult Treatment Panel III) (time frame: 3 months). 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?
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 2 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
