About this study

Official title: Is Weight Change and Glucoregulation Related to Dietary Intake, the Gut Microbiome or the Interaction Between The Two Variables?

The purpose of this study is to investigate a persons dietary intake and its effect on the gut microbiome and the association of those two variables on weight and glucoregulation. Specifically, the investigators will compare the gut microbiota, fasting glucose and insulin, c-peptide and hemoglobin A1-c in three groups of subjects: obese patients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obese patients without T2DM, and normal weight lean controls without T2DM. Each patient will also complete a detailed dietary recall (ASA-24) to investigate the association with diet, microbiome and weight/glucoregulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intestinal Microbiome Composition

    The ratio of firmicutes to bacteroidetes will be the primary focus of the microbiome evaluation.

    Measured: One sample collected upon study enrollment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Fasting Glucose

    Serum glucose (fasting) will be measured from collected blood sample and compared between the 3 subject groups.

    Measured: One sample collected upon study enrollment

  2. Fasting Insulin

    Plasma insulin (fasting) will be measured from collected blood sample and compared between the 3 subject groups.

    Measured: One sample collected upon study enrollment

  3. C-peptide

    c-peptide will be measured from collected blood sample and compared between the 3 subject groups.

    Measured: One sample collected upon study enrollment

  4. Hemoglobin A1-c

    hemoglobin A1-c will be measured from collected blood sample and compared between the 3 subject groups.

    Measured: One sample collected upon study enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Type2 Diabetes, run by North Dakota 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 23 Aug 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 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?

Intestinal Microbiome Composition (time frame: One sample collected upon study enrollment). 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 23 Aug 2018.
