About this study

Official title: Determination of the Glycemic Index and the Insulinemic Index of a Sweetener

The purpose of the study is to determine the glycemic index and the insulinemic index of a sweetener syrup

Read the detailed description

Glycemic index is a measure of how carbohydrate-containing foods affect blood glucose levels. All foods that contain carbohydrates, such as starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn), desserts, fruits, bread, pasta, and rice, can be tested for how they affect blood sugar levels after being eaten. Glycemic index is assessed by having one or more people eat a specific amount of a single food (usually 50 grams of digestible carbohydrate) and then measuring the change in blood sugar levels compared with the levels achieved after they have eaten a control food containing the same amount of digestible carbohydrate, such as white bread or glucose. The average change in blood sugar levels over a set period of time relative to the levels after consumption of the control food, usually white bread or glucose, is the food's glycemic index.

Insulinemic index is measure with the same methodology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemic Index

    The specific measure that will be use to determine the glycemic responses is the change in blood sugar levels compared with the levels achieved after they have eaten a control food containing the same amount of digestible carbohydrate.

    Sugar syrup was used as the reference food, giving it a glycemic index value of 100 by definition. The AUC of the test food is divided by the AUC of the standard (glucose) and multiplied by 100. Low GI: 55 or less, Medium GI: 56-69, High GI: 70 and above

    Measured: Every 48 hours (each new intervention), over a 2 hour blood glucose challenge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Insulinemic Index

    The specific measure that will be use to determine the insulinemic responses is the change in blood insuline levels compared with the levels achieved after they have eaten a control food containing the same amount of digestible carbohydrate.

    Sugar syrup was used as the reference food, giving it a insulinemic index value of 100 by definition. The AUC of the test food is divided by the AUC of the standard (glucose) and multiplied by 100. Low GI: 55 or less, Medium GI: 56-69, High GI: 70 and above

    Measured: Every 48 hours (each new intervention), over a 2 hour blood glucose challenge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental sweetener syrup, Classical sweetener syrup and Classical sugar syrup in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Routin SA at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 13 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Glycemic Index (time frame: Every 48 hours (each new intervention), over a 2 hour blood glucose challenge). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Jul 2017.
