About this study

Official title: The Effects of NUTRIOSE®FB Dietary Fiber Supplementation on the Satiety, Body Fat Distribution, and Metabolic Syndrome Biomarkers of Overweight Adult Chinese Men 20-35 Years of Age.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of NUTRIOSE® supplementation on body composition, satiety, and determinants of metabolic syndrome in overweight men.

Read the detailed description

Previous trials of fiber supplementation have yielded equivocal results on body composition, satiety, and determinants of metabolic syndrome. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine the effects of a proprietary soluble dextrin dietary fiber supplement (NUTRIOSE®) on these parameters in overweight males.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing NUTRIOSE in people with Overweight and Metabolic Syndrome X, run by Roquette Freres at 1 site in China.

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 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 8 Jan 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 China. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Determinants of metabolic syndrome (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT01044680, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 Jan 2010.
