PILCHARDUS STUDY: A Sardine Diet Intervention Study to Assess Benefits to the Metabolic Profile in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Work hypothesis

A diet rich in sardine will improve the metabolic control in type 2 diabetes patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
35

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age > 40 years and < 85
  • BMI ≥ 25 and < 35
  • Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at onset or treated only by diet
  • HbA1c between 6.0 and 8.0% (based on the last measured and documented laboratory measurement of the previous 3 months)
  • Usual consumption ≤ 3 fish per week

Exclusion Criteria:

  • T2D treated with antidiabetic oral drugs and/or insulin
  • Current or previous (within 3 months) intake of omega 3 suplements
  • Known allergy or intolerance to fish or fish protein
  • Diagnosis of active neoplasic disease
  • Suffering from an acute illness which requires a recovery period higher than one week
  • Currently chronic treatment with oral steroids or nonesteroidal anti-inflammatory for more than 5 days, at least 1 month before randomization
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding patients
  • Serious acute vascular events (cardiac or cerebral) diagnosed previous 2 months before the randomization
  • Current or previous (within 6 months) participation in another study
  • Chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine >1,5 mg/dl)
  • Any conditions that the investigator considers may render the patient unable to complete the study

During the interventional study, based on current standards of T2D care, doctors will introduce anti-diabetic oral drugs or insulin into the patient's treatment, where they consider it to be necessary.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Sardine diet
Subjects follow general dietary recommendations for diabetes including a fixed amount of sardine in daily meals (100g per day, 5 days a week) as part of their usual diet.
Other: Sardine diet
Diet rich in sardine: 100g/day of sardine 5 times a week
No Intervention: Control diet
Subjects only follow general dietary recommendations for diabetes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
November 1, 2012

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
