About this study

Official title: Are Heterozygous Carriers for Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Predisposed to Metabolic Disturbances When Exposed to Fructose?

Background: High fructose intake increases blood lactate, triglyceride and uric acid concentrations. Uric acid may contribute to insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in the general population. In patients with hereditary fructose intolerance fructose consumption is associated with acute hypoglycemia, renal tubular acidosis, and hyperuricemia.

Objective: We investigated whether asymptomatic carriers for hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) would have a higher sensitivity to adverse effects of fructose than the general population.

Design: Eight subjects heterozygous for HFI (hHFI; 4 males, 4 females) and eight controls received for 7 days a low fructose diet and on the eighth day ingested a test meal calculated to provide 25% of basal energy requirement containing labeled fructose (13C fructose 0.35 g/kg), protein (0.21 g/kg) and lipid (0.22 g/kg). Total fructose oxidation, total endogenous glucose production (by 6,6-2H2-glucose dilution), carbohydrate and lipid oxidation, lipids, uric acid, lactate, creatinine, urea and amino acids were monitored for 6 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma glucose kinetics

    Modelling of rate of glucose appearance after administration of a bolus of 6,6-2H2 glucose (bolus, 2 mg/kg and continuous infusion, 0.02 mg/kg/min) will be measured in fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: -120 min before ingestion of a test meal to 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Energy expenditure rate

    Energy expenditure is measured by indirect calorimetry in fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: 120 min before ingestion of a test meal, and every 30 min until 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

  2. Glucose oxidation rate

    glucose oxidation is measured by indirect calorimetry in fasted and fed conditions

    Measured: 120 min before ingestion of a test meal, and every 30 min until 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

  3. Plasma glucose concentration

    plasma glucose concentration measured by glucose oxidase

    Measured: -120 min before ingestion of a test meal, and every 30 min until 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

  4. plasma insulin concentration

    Plasma insulin concentration measured by ELISA

    Measured: -120 min before ingestion of a test meal, and every 30 min until 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

  5. Fructose oxidation

    Fructose oxidation is measured from 13CO2 production

    Measured: Every 30 min until 360 min after ingestion of a test meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test meal in people with Hereditary Fructose Intolerance and Fructose Metabolism, Inborn Errors, run by University of Lausanne.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 17 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Plasma glucose kinetics (time frame: -120 min before ingestion of a test meal to 360 min after ingestion of a test meal). 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 NCT02979106, 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 17 Jul 2019.
