Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Metabolic syndrome consists of a group of co-occuring conditions that increase an individual's risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of chloroquine, a protein-activation medication, at improving metabolic syndrome.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

  • Drug: Active Comparator: Fourth Intervention (3 weeks)
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Metabolic syndrome is one of the most common disorders in industrialized countries. It consists of abnormal serum lipids, glucose intolerance, elevated blood pressure, and central obesity in the setting of insulin resistance. The syndrome substantially increases the risk of developing diabetes and vascular disease, but there is no clear unifying approach to treat this disorder. In animals, activation of the protein ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) using the antimalarial drug chloroquine improves features of metabolic syndrome and decreases atherosclerosis, a build-up of fatty plaque within arteries. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of short-term treatment with low doses of chloroquine as a way of managing metabolic syndrome.

Participants in this study will initially receive placebo for 3 weeks, followed by increasing doses of chloroquine in three, 3-week intervals. Following each 3-week treatment, participants will be admitted to the research center for one day. There will be a period of no active treatment for 5 to 7 weeks following each admission to the research center to allow recovery from the blood drawing of the clamp procedure before the start of the next treatment interval.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Insulin Sensitivity [assessed every 8 - 10 weeks at the end of each treatment period]

      Hepatic insulin sensitivity was measured by comparing glucose production at baseline of zero insulin infusion rate with glucose production at 56 pmol/m2/min. Hepatic insulin sensitivity was expressed as the percent suppression, such that greater percent suppression indicated greater hepatic insulin sensitivity. There are no reference values, since the patients served as their own controls.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Systolic Blood Pressure [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period]

      Two techniques were employed: auscultation of seated subjects at rest was performed by a trained observer who recorded the first and fifth phases of the Korotkoff sounds; and, a portable oscillometric device (SpaceLabs Medical) recorded results every 20 min during the day and every hour during the night. Data were analyzed as mean values over 24 hours.

    2. Diastolic Blood Pressure [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.]

      Two techniques were employed: auscultation of seated subjects at rest was performed by a trained observer who recorded the first and fifth phases of the Korotkoff sounds; and, a portable oscillometric device (SpaceLabs Medical) recorded results every 20 min during the day and every hour during the night. Data were analyzed as mean values over 24 hours.

    3. Total Cholesterol [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.]

      Fasting Serum Blood Sample

    4. Non-HDL Cholesterol [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.]

      Fasting Serum Blood Sample

    5. Low-density Lipoprotein [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.]

      Fasting Serum Blood Sample

    6. Triglycerides [Assessed every 8-10 weeks at the end of each treatment period.]

      Fasting Serum Blood Sample
