About this study

Official title: The Effect of Long-term Exercise on the Production of Osteoclastogenic and Anti-osteoclastogenic Cytokines by Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and on Serum Markers of Bone Metabolism

This is the second phase of a study designed to determine the immunological effects of long-term exercise on risk factors for ischemic heart disease (phase 1) and osteoporosis (phase 2). The results indicate that six months of moderate intensity exercise reduces bone resorption and increases the secretion of anti-osteoclastogenic cytokines by peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Read the detailed description

In a before and after trial involving 43 healthy adults the investigators measured the effect of six months of supervised exercise on the spontaneous and phytohemagglutinin-induced production of osteoclastogenic cytokines (interleukin-1α, tumor necrosis factor-α), anti-osteoclastogenic cytokines (transforming growth factor-β, interleukins 4 and10), pleiotropic cytokines with variable effects on osteoclastogenesis (interferon-γ, interleukin-6), and T cell growth and differentiation factors (interleukins 2 and 12) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The investigators also measured lymphocyte phenotypes, and serum markers of bone formation (osteocalcin), bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptides of Type I collagen), and bone homeostasis (estradiol, vitamin D2, testosterone, parathyroid hormone, insulin-like growth factor).

What participants receive

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

  • Supervised exercise programOther

    Subjects were enrolled in a hospital-based wellness center where, after analysis of their medical history and previous levels of physical activity ands documentation of a normal exercise stress test, they chose individually tailored exercise programs

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence of altered bone resorption and/or production as measured by measurements of serum levels of osteocalcin and degradation products of Type I collagen (C-terminal telopeptides)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Evidence of altered secretion of osteoclastogenic cytokines by peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    secretion of IL-1 alpha, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Evidence of altered secretion of anti-osteoclastogenic cytokines by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    secretion of IL-10, IL-4, TGF-beta, IL-6 by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Evidence of altered blood mononuclear cell phenotypes

    Immunophenotyping of blood mononuclear cells by FACScan flow cytometer

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Evidence of altered serum factors of bone homeostasis

    Measurements of serum levels of estradiol, testosterone, PTH, IGF-1

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Evidence of altered secretion of growth and differentiation factors by cultures peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Measurements of IL-2, IL-4, IL-12

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supervised exercise program in people with Osteoporosis, run by East Tennessee State University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 May 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 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?

Evidence of altered bone resorption and/or production as measured by measurements of serum levels of osteocalcin and degradation products of Type I collagen (C-terminal telopeptides) (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 6 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 NCT02765945, 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 9 May 2016.
