About this study
Official title: In Vivo Evaluation of the Physiological Effects of Arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides (AXOS) in Healthy Subjects: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Cross-over Study
The investigational study product used in this clinical trial is a soft drink containing an arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides (AXOS) preparation extracted from wheat bran (hereafter called Wheat Bran Extract, WBE).
The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the intake of two WBE doses on various parameters of gastrointestinal health. Additionally, safety was analyzed using treatment emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and clinical blood parameters.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing wheat bran extract in people with Healthy, run by Fugeia NV at 1 site in Belgium.
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 13 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 27 Oct 2009. 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 Belgium. 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?
Bifidobacteria content in feces (time frame: day 19 or 20 of each intervention). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Oct 2009.
