Trial Outcomes & Findings for Metabolic Effects of Natriuretic Peptide Hormones (NCT NCT03397966)

NCT ID: NCT03397966

Last Updated: 2024-11-25

Results Overview

At each visit (Study Visits 1 and 2), resting energy expenditure (EE) will be determined by indirect calorimetry, using a metabolic cart. Energy expenditure will be measured at baseline (just prior to the infusion) and during the 240-minute intravenous infusion at Study Visits 1 and 2. The primary endpoint will be change in resting energy expenditure, calculated as final resting energy expenditure (at end of 240-minute infusion) adjusted for baseline value.

Participant Flow

Enrolled subjects underwent a screening visit to determine eligibility for the study. The screening visit included a medical history, physical examination, and a blood draw for CMP, CBC, HbA1c, TSH, and free T4. A pregnancy test was completed on female subjects of child-bearing potential. Eligible subjects who still wished to participate in the study were then enrolled for the main study visits.

Measure
BNP Followed by Placebo (Control)
At study visit 1, subjects will receive an IV infusion of recombinant human b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP (1-32)) for 240 minutes (at a rate of 10 ng/kg/minute, preceded by IV bolus of 100 ng/kg). After a washout of a minimum of 2 weeks, subjects will present for Study Visit 2, where they will receive an IV infusion of placebo control (normal saline) for 240 minutes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and at end of 240-minute IV infusion (at each study visit). (At Study Visit 1 and 2, EE will be assessed at baseline and at end of 240-minute intravenous infusion. Visits will be separated by at least 14 days.)

Population: All participants who received both interventions and completed all study visits are included in the analysis.

At each visit (Study Visits 1 and 2), resting energy expenditure (EE) will be determined by indirect calorimetry, using a metabolic cart. Energy expenditure will be measured at baseline (just prior to the infusion) and during the 240-minute intravenous infusion at Study Visits 1 and 2. The primary endpoint will be change in resting energy expenditure, calculated as final resting energy expenditure (at end of 240-minute infusion) adjusted for baseline value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: A subcutaneous biopsy will be collected after the end of 240-minute IV infusion, at both Study Visits 1 and 2 (Visits will be separated by at least 14 days.)

Population: All participants (N= 4) who had paired adipose tissue samples available (who had adipose tissue sample collected after both the BNP infusion and after the placebo infusion). There was 1 subject who did not have adipose tissue collected at one of the study visits, and thus is not included in the statistical analysis.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies will be obtained after the conclusion of the 240-minute IV infusion at Study Visits 1 and 2. These tissues will be analyzed for adipose tissue gene expression. The adipose tissue gene expression after the BNP infusion will be compared to expression after the placebo infusion. Units are relative UCP1 gene expression (quantified using quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)), normalized to a housekeeping gene).
