Isocaloric Dietary Interventions for Insulin Resistance and the Metabolic Syndrome
NCT01040663 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in the United States. Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of the metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by a cluster of metabolic derangements, including insulin resistance, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and inflammation. Lifestyle interventions, including dietary modification, physical activity, and weight loss, form the basis of treatment for individuals with the metabolic syndrome. However, the optimal composition of the diet is not known at this time. Furthermore, due to hormonal and metabolic changes that accompany weight loss, most people find it very difficult to maintain significant weight reductions over time. As a result, weight regain is exceedingly common.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01040663
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01040663 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 42 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rockefeller University, which has 35 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Dietary intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01040663 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
