Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of ISIS 304801 in People With Partial Lipodystrophy With an Open-Label Extension
NCT02639286 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: Partial lipodystrophy is a deficiency of body fat in parts of the body (usually the arms and legs). People with partial lipodystrophy often get high blood triglyceride (fat) level, insulin resistance, diabetes and other problems. Researchers think the new drug ISIS 304801 can help treat health problems caused by partial lipodystrophy. Objective: To see if ISIS 304801 will improve blood fat (triglyceride levels), diabetes, and liver disease, and reduce some risks for heart disease caused by partial lipodystrophy. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with partial lipodystrophy. Design: Participants will be screened during a 1-week stay at NIH. They will have: Blood and urine tests Physical exam. Assignment to get either the study drug or placebo. Instructions for how to inject the drug. Body measurements. Heart tests. Participants will give themselves injections of the drug or placebo once a week at home. Some may test blood sugar by finger pricks. They will have monthly phone calls and nurse visits to take blood tests. After 4 months, participants may continue the study for 1 year. All participants will get the study drug. Participants will have study visits at NIH every 4 months. These may include: Insulin sensitivity measurement: Insulin and sugar will be infused through 2 intravenous (IV) lines in the arms. Blood will be drawn. Sugar and fat metabolism measured by IV infusions and blood tests. Special x-ray scan to measure body fat. Liquid meal then blood collected by IV catheter in the arm. Magnetic resonance imaging scans. Neck ultrasound. Questionnaires. Liver biopsy (optional) Injection of heparin (a blood thinner) before a blood test. After finishing the drug, participants will have 1 nurse visit and 1 visit to NIH. ...

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02639286
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02639286 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 2, 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 5 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), which has 375 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 Lipodystrophy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo 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: NCT02639286 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. 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.
