Obesity leads to a pathological activation of the innate immune system partly driven by tissue production of IL-1β.

Therefore, the investigators hypothesise that in obese individuals tissue inflammation stimulates ACTH via IL-1β, thereby explaining the observed hypercortisolism.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18-80 years\n* BMI \\>30kg/m2 and at least 1 manifestations of the metabolic syndrome (i.e. diabetes/ prediabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia)\n* Willingness to use contraceptive measures adequate to prevent becoming pregnant\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Medication with glucocorticosteroids\n* Known Cushing Syndrome\n* Pregnancy or breast feeding\n* Clinical signs of infection in the week before inclusion or history of a severe infection during the last 2 months\n* Hematologic disease (leukocyte count \\< 1.5x109/l, hemoglobin \\<11 g/dl, platelets \\<100 x 103/ul)\n* Kidney disease (creatinine-clearance \\< 30ml/min))\n* Liver disease (transaminases \\>4x upper normal range)\n* Active carcinoma\n* History of tuberculosis\n* Alcohol consumption \\>40g/d for men, \\>30g/d for women\n* Known allergy towards anakinra\n* Subject refusing or unable to give written informed consent'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02227420', 'acronym': 'CortIL', 'briefTitle': 'Effects of IL-1 Beta on the HPA-axis in Obese Persons', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effects of IL-1 Beta on the Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) Axis in Obese Persons - the CortIL-Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'EKNZ 2014-175'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Anakinra', 'description': 'Anakinra 100mg s.c. x 5', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Anakinra']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Anakinra', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Anakinra 100mg s.c. x 5', 'armGroupLabels': ['Anakinra']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Basel', 'country': 'Switzerland', 'facility': 'University Hopsital Basel', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 47.55839, 'lon': 7.57327}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Mirjam Christ-Crain, MD, Prof.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
