Pilot Data Collection for Activity, Adiposity, and Appetite in Adolescents
NCT03157063 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to quantify energy metabolism using indirect calorimetry at rest, in the presence of excess energy following a meal, and in response to the demand for energy during exercise. The investigators also will examine the individual and joint associations of activity and obesity status on neurocognitive domains of appetite control. Participants will include adolescent males and females (N=80) using a 2 x 2 cross-sectional study design, stratified by body weight (normal vs overweight/obese) and physical activity level (sedentary vs. active).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03157063
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03157063 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 64 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City, which has 93 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Physical Activity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Data Collection Procedures 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: NCT03157063 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Missouri. 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. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
