What participants receive

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

  • Reduction of glycemic index of ingested foodsDietary supplement

    Also called InSea2

    Oral administration of the experimental lemon tea powder(56.1 g) and the placebo lemon tea powder (55.6 g) dissolved in water. Each participant will receive both treatment in a cross-over protocol design during 2 visits separated by a 2-weeks period. The day before both intervention, participants will consume a standardised meal for the supper.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Reduction of glycemic index of ingested foods in people with Hyperglycemia, run by innoVactiv Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Significant reduction in postprandial glycemia (time frame: Immediately after product administration (single use)). The study lists 2 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 15 Nov 2011.
