About this study

Official title: Measuring the Glycaemic Index of Foods: Interlaboratory Study #2

The purpose of this study is to assess the extent of and sources of variation in the glycaemic index values of foods measured by different laboratories around the world.

Read the detailed description

The glycaemic index values of 3 different foods provided from a central location will be determined in each of 20-30 centers around the world. A standard protocol will be followed, but this protocol leaves room for variation in certain details, such as whether subjects are allowed to have coffee or tea with the test meals or only water, or the method of analyzing blood glucose. Methodologic details, subject demographic information (height, weight, age, and ethnicity), results of local calculations and raw data will be sent to a central location.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. glycaemic index

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. within-individual variation of glycaemic responses

  2. glycaemic responses assessed as incremental area under the curve

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test Meal: Reference food (glucose or white bread), Test Meal: Pirate's Booty and Test Meal: Ceaprove wafer in people with Healthy, run by Glycaemic Index Testing, Inc. at 28 sites in 17 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Finland, Italy and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

glycaemic index. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00260858, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2006.
