Trial summary

It has been suggested that dietary fibers can affect food intake and satiation. Satiation, or meal termination, can be induced by sensory properties and energy density of fiber-rich food products, but also by the chemical/physical/rheological behavior of the fibers in the stomach and/or intestine.

About this study

Official title: Determination of the Effect of Different Types of Isolated Dietary Fiber on ad Libitum Food Intake in Healthy Human Subjects

It has been suggested that dietary fibers can affect food intake and satiation. Satiation, or meal termination, can be induced by sensory properties and energy density of fiber-rich food products, but also by the chemical/physical/rheological behavior of the fibers in the stomach and/or intestine. It is not clear which properties are the key regulators of satiation by fiber sources. There are many types of dietary fiber, which have diverse sensory and chemical properties, thus these might have different effects on satiation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cellulose, alginate, guar gumDietary supplement

    6 different food products are developed with different dosages of dietary fiber. Regular flour is replaced by dietary fiber, dosages are described in the 'arms'section.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cellulose, alginate, guar gum in people with Healthy, run by Wageningen University at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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 11 May 2010. 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Ad libitum intake (time frame: 1 hour and 2 hours). 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 NCT00904124, 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 11 May 2010.
