Trial summary

The role of gut hormone (GLP-1, GIP, PYY...) in glucose homeostasis has been widely demonstrated. Furthermore modifications in their pattern of secretion seem to be involved in the improvement of glucose control in obese patients after bariatric surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Gut Hormone Secretion Pattern in Response to Different Macronutrients in Healthy Volunteers

The role of gut hormone (GLP-1, GIP, PYY...) in glucose homeostasis has been widely demonstrated. Furthermore modifications in their pattern of secretion seem to be involved in the improvement of glucose control in obese patients after bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the respective role of carbohydrate, fat and protein from a complete meal in gut hormones secretion.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to asses the role of each individual macronutrient of a compete meal in gut hormones secretion in healthy volunteers.

8 healthy young male subjects will be studied on 5 different occasions. To asses the role of each macronutient the subjects will recieve one of the following test meal: a complete sandwich, the proteic part of this complete meal, the glucidic part and the lipidic part. The fifth test will be a fasting test.

To assess the entero-insular axis, a 5.5 hours hyperglycaemic clamp will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy Volunteers, run by University of Lausanne at 2 sites in Switzerland.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 3 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Switzerland. 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?

Gut hormone secretion (time frame: within 4 hours following a test meal). 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 NCT00869453, 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 3 Jul 2012.
