Daily Low Oxygen Exposure & Weight Status

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this single-blind, parallel-arm, randomized clinical trial is to evaluate changes in body weight and composition, assess determinants of energy balance, and measure modulators of energy intake and expenditure, following 8 wk of calorie restriction (CR, -500 kcal/d) in combination with either overnight exposure (8 h/night) to normobaric hypoxia (NH; 15% oxygen, ~8500 ft elevation) or normoxia (NN; 21% oxygen, sea level), using a commercially available, in-home tent system, in adults who are overweight or obese.

Clinical Trial Description

The current research study will evaluate changes in body weight and composition, assess determinants of energy balance, and measure modulators of energy intake and expenditure, following 8 wk of calorie restriction (CR, -500 kcal/d) in combination with either overnight exposure to normobaric hypoxia (NH) or normoxia (NN). Participants will be instructed to follow their normal diet but with a 500 kcal/day deficit as advised by a Registered Dietitian. Participants will spend 8 hours/night in a tent, set-up around their bed, in their home, for 8 weeks. Participants sleeping in the hypoxic tent (Hypoxico Inc., New York, NY, commercially available tents: https://hypoxico.com/) will breath ~15% oxygen (achieved with nitrogen dilution, equivalent to ~8500 ft elevation), whereas those in the control tent (Hypoxico Inc.) will breath ~21% oxygen (achieved with nitrogen dilution, equivalent to sea level elevation). Trained research staff will set-up the hypoxic or control tent system in each participant's home on day 0 and will visit the participant's home on days 1, 2, and 3 to check and/or adjust the tent settings. After day 3, research staff will visit the participant's home weekly to check and/or adjust the tent settings. participants will be weighed each morning following an overnight fast and morning void. Participants will come to the laboratory on two separate days for baseline testing (days -1 and 0) and again on two separate days at the end of the study (days 55 and 56) for endpoint testing. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
