Validation of an RLIP76 Assay in Humans

September 7, 2016 updated by: City of Hope Medical Center

Validation of RLIP76 Assay and Exploratory Study of RLIP76 Correlation Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

The current proposal extends work done in mouse models evaluating the consistency of measuring RLIP76 in a clinical cohort (Aim 1) by using guidelines provided by the NIH for validating biomarkers. We will also proceed to estimate the effect size of a potential correlation of RLIP76 with standard MsY treatment measures such as hgbA1c, LDL, and triglyceride levels in a longitudinal prospective study ( Aim 2) that will follow a cohort of patients with MsY who seek care at the City of Hope Endocrine clinic over a 12 month period..

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Blood Draw
Data will be collected at patients' usual follow-up intervals for monitoring their metabolic conditions (i.e., T2D, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc.), which will be at 3 or 6 month intervals with a +/- 30 day window. Standard treatment surveillance measures such as hemoglobin A1c, LDL, and triglyceride levels will be performed as the standard of care for patients with MsY. Blood samples for these tests will be drawn while subjects are fasting

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The consistency of an ELISA-based RLIP76 assay in the serum of human subjects with metabolic syndrome.
Time Frame: 12 months
The investigators will perform 6 repeated measurements on first blood draws from patients with Type 2 diabetes who also have MsY. Sixty-seven percent (4 out of 6) of the quality controls must be within 15% of the mean of these measurements for us to consider the ELISA-based RLIP76 assay to be consistent
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect size of correlation of RLIP76 levels with treatment measures of metabolic syndrome such as hemoglobin A1c, LDL, and triglyceride levels.
Time Frame: 12 months
The investigators will perform a longitudinal correlative study to evaluate the correlation of RLIP76 levels with changes in treatment measures of metabolic syndrome, such as hemoglobin A1c, LDL, and triglyceride levels. The results of this objective will be used to design a correlative study to determine the correlation of RLIP76 levels to the change in treatment measures of metabolic syndrome.
