About this study

Official title: Effect of Preload on Body Weight and Cardiovascular Risks

Investigators presumed that preload consumers will have more weight reduction and lower risk of cardiovascular disease

Read the detailed description

To our knowledge, all previous studies evaluated the energy intake in a dietary meal after consuming a low-energy-dense preload while none assessed the sustainability of lower amount of energy intake and body weight changes in a long-term. On the other hand, the sustainability of lower energy intake in a long term might be affected by higher dietary diversity score due to considering preload in diets. Notably, increased diet variety is associated with higher overall dietary energy intake and weight gain.

What participants receive

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

  • preload dietOther

    All participants were prescribed a calorie-restricted diet (-200 to -500 kcal/d). Calorie requirements of each subject were estimated based on resting energy expenditure (REE) by using Harris- Benedict equation and also considering the physical activity levels. The diets were constructed to provide similar proportions of carbohydrates (55% energy), protein (15% energy) and total fat (30% energy).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing preload diet in people with Body Weight, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 15 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

the amount of weight reduction in two dietary groups (time frame: 3 months). 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 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
