About this study

To study if continuous glucose monitors are feasible for use in children and adolescents with obesity.

Read the detailed description

Various CGMs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in children and adults with diabetes. However, to date, little is known about how CGM technology can be integrated into weight management strategies for adolescents with obesity. No study to date has explored the effects of unblinded vs. blinded CGM use alone, without any other lifestyle modification recommendations. Thus, to address this question, this is a cross-over feasibility trial of blinded vs. unblinded CGM use in youth with obesity. This study hypothesizes that CGM will be a feasible and acceptable technology for youth with obesity, without diabetes, to utilize, and that access to daily glucose trends will facilitate positive changes in eating behavior and daily activity level compared to blinded CGM use. Thirty adolescents with obesity will be recruited into a six-week cross-over trial. All participants will be randomly assigned to either the blinded or unblinded group for three weeks. And then cross over to the other group for another three weeks. The primary endpoints are recruitment, retention, and adherence. While the secondary endpoints are glycemic variability, as captured on CGM, change in weight as an excess percentage of 95th percentile, sleep, dietary intake, physical activity, and eating behaviors.

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous glucose monitorDevice

    its a device used to measure glucose from interstitial fluids and provides feedback regarding the same every 5 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of continuous glucose monitor(CGM) use in children and adolescents with obesity

    Investigator will measure this outcome using recruitment rate achieved each month for the duration of the study period as the number of participants screened per month over the number of participants consented.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To access the change in glycemic variability measured by CGMS in unblinded versus blinded periods through standard deviation of the mean.

    Investigator will measure the effect of un-blinded CGM versus blinded use on glycemic variability measured by the Standard Deviation of the mean glycemia (SD) measured by CGMS.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous glucose monitor in people with Pediatric Obesity, run by University of California, Los Angeles 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 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Sri Nikhita Chimatapu, MD (9177414080, schimatapu@mednet.ucla.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of continuous glucose monitor(CGM) use in children and adolescents with obesity (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 12 Feb 2024.
