About this study

Official title: Assessment of Progranulin and Chemokine-like Protein TAFA-5 (FAM19A5) Blood Levels in Adults With Metabolic Syndrome

The main objective of the study is to assess the serum levels of progranulin and FAM19A5 protein in adults with metabolic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

The study is planned to be conducted on 40 adults with metabolic syndrome. As a control, it is planned to recruit 40 adults without metabolic syndrome. From all participants fasting venous blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will be collected. Next, serum progranulin and serum FAM19A5 protein concentrations will be determined in both groups. Also, serum concentration of leptin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin, neopterin, adropin and selected cytokines, adipokines, myokines and chemokines, total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, triglycerides and glucose will be determined. Serum, hair and urine mineral content will be determined. In whole blood genetic analyses will be performed in order to detect and examine progranulin and FAM19A5 genes, and genes associated with the development of metabolic syndrome and genes associated with the body's mineral metabolism. Also, body composition analysis, blood pressure measurement, pulse measurement, blood oxygen saturation measurement and nutritional interview will be performed.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sample collectionDiagnostic test

    Fasting blood sample will be collected from forearm vein. In the sample the concentration of: progranulin and serum FAM19A5 protein, leptin, VEGF, insulin, neopterin, adropin and selected cytokines, adipokines, myokines and chemokines, total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, triglycerides and glucose will be determined. Whole blood sample will be secured to isolate genetic material, detect and examine progranulin and FAM19A5 genes, and genes associated with the development of metabolic syndrome and with the body's mineral management. Serum mineral analysis will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nutrition Disorders and Hypertension, run by Poznan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Poland.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Damian Skrypnik, MD, PhD (+48 618549742, damian.skrypnik@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progranulin (time frame: Measured at baseline). 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 14 Aug 2020.
