Trial summary

Studies have found a relationship between dietary fiber consumption and body weight regulation. This relationship may stem from enhanced satiety through fermentation of certain fibers in the large intestine. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Satiety Response of Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), Inulin, Soluble Corn Fiber (SCF), and Resistant Starch (RS) in Overweight Woman and Relationship to Fermentation

Studies have found a relationship between dietary fiber consumption and body weight regulation. This relationship may stem from enhanced satiety through fermentation of certain fibers in the large intestine.

The objective of this study is to determine and compare satiety ratings, changes in food intake, and gastrointestinal effects for four fibers: fructooligosaccharide, inulin, soluble corn fiber, and resistant starch.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satiety response using visual analogue scales

    Satiety response will be measured using subjective perceptions of hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and prospective food intake evaluated by previously validated visual analogue scales (VAS).

    Measured: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes postprandially

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Food intake

    Measured: 180 minutes postprandially and over 24 hours

  2. Breath hydrogen response

    Measured: 0 and 180 minutes

  3. Gastrointestinal tolerance using visual analogue scales (VAS)

    Subjective ratings of bloating, stool consistency, and flatulence will be measured using VAS. A stool count will also be recorded.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Soluble corn fiber, Resistant starch and Fructooligosaccharide in people with Healthy, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 29 Mar 2012. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Satiety response using visual analogue scales (time frame: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes postprandially). 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 29 Mar 2012.
