About this study
Official title: Effects of a Reduction of Sweetened Beverages Consumption in Overweight High Consumers on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
The study will enroll 68 overweight male and female subjects with a high (> 2 3dl-can soda/day) consumption of sweetened beverage per day. After a run-in period of 4 weeks, subjects will be randomized to either a 12-week intervention arm in which sweetened beverages will be replaced by artificially sweetened, calorie-free beverages, or to a control arm. The following measurements will be performed at the end of the run-in period and at the end of the intervention period
- intrahepatic fat concentration
- visceral fat volume
- changes in day-long metabolic profile from baseline(plasma glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations)
- changes in food intake and daily energy, carbohydrate and sugars intake from baseline
- Conditions
- Obesity, Dyslipidemia, Metabolic Syndrome
- Being tested
- artificially sweetened sodas
- Keywords
- sugar, sweetened beverages, hepatic steatosis, visceral obesity, metabolic syndrome
- Medical subject headings
- Obesity, Dyslipidemias, Metabolic Syndrome, Fatty Liver, Obesity, Abdominal
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
artificially sweetened sodasOther
subjects will be allowed unlimited consumption of calorie-free, artificially-sweetened sodas, water, tea or coffee
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| artificially sweetened beverages | Experimental | subjects will be required to consume only artificially-sweetened sodas, water, tea or coffee Receives: Other: artificially sweetened sodas |
| regular sodas | No intervention | subjects will continue their usual consumption of sweetened sodas |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
changes in intrahepatic fat concentration
intrahepatic fat content measured by 1H-MRS
Measured: at the end of run-in and after 12 weeks intervention/control
Secondary outcomes (3)
changes in visceral fat volume
Visceral fat volume measured by MRI
Measured: at the end of run-in and after 12 weeks of intervention/control
changes in day-long metabolic profile
Plasma glucose, insulin, non-esterified fatty acids, and triglycerides will be measured at 2-hourly intervals between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. Participants will be fed standardized meals and either sweetened or artificially-sweetened beverages according to randomization
Measured: at the end of run-in and after 12 weeks of intervention/control
changes in food intake from baseline
Total energy intake, total carbohydrate intake, and total sugars intake will be evaluated by 3-day food record
Measured: at the end of the run-in period and after 6, and 12 weeks of intervention/control

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing artificially sweetened sodas in people with Obesity and Dyslipidemia, run by University of Lausanne at 1 site in Switzerland.
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 9 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 4 Jun 2014. 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 Switzerland. 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. 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?
changes in intrahepatic fat concentration (time frame: at the end of run-in and after 12 weeks intervention/control). 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 4 Jun 2014.
