Trial summary

This is a pilot study to demonstrate the effect of purple rice on post-prandial glucose and insulin. The purple color is due, like red wine grapes, mainly to the anthocyanins. The safety and tolerability of purple rice is similar to white or brown rice, but contains the purple elements common to other foods like… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of the Effect of Purple Rice on Glucose Tolerance, Serum Lipids and Inflammation.

This is a pilot study to demonstrate the effect of purple rice on post-prandial glucose and insulin. The purple color is due, like red wine grapes, mainly to the anthocyanins. The safety and tolerability of purple rice is similar to white or brown rice, but contains the purple elements common to other foods like grapes.

Read the detailed description

This is a study that will have 1 screening visit and 9 study visits. Subjects will come to the screening visit for blood chemistry, health questionnaire and speak to the coordinator. Each subject passing inclusion/exclusion will go on to eat purple rice for 4 weeks and brown rice for 4 weeks. The 4-week feeding periods will be balanced and assigned randomly. The subjects will report to the metabolic kitchen to pick up their supply of 14 frozen rice dishes each week in a container and return the empty containers as a measure of compliance. At the end of each 4-week feeding period, subjects will come to the inpatient unit fasting from 9pm the prior night except for water. Subjects will have an intravenous line placed and fasting blood will be drawn for chemistry. Subjects will then be given glucose to drink and blood will be drawn from then IV line for glucose and insulin at time listed in the consent.

What participants receive

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

  • Purple RiceDietary supplement

    Incorporate one cup of purple rice into dishes to be consumed at lunch and dinner each day for 4 weeks (equivalent of 4 ounces of uncooked rice/day).

  • Brown RiceDietary supplement

    Incorporate one cup of brown rice into dishes to be consumed at lunch and dinner each day for 4 weeks (equivalent of 4 ounces of uncooked rice/day).

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose Tolerance

    Subjects will have an Intravenous line placed and fasting blood will be drawn. Subjects will then be given glucose to drink and blood will be drawn from an IV line for glucose and insulin.

    Measured: 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Serum Lipids

    Subjects will have an Intravenous line placed and fasting blood will be drawn for a chemistry-15 panel and High-sensitivity C-reaction Protein. Subjects will then be given 75 grams of glucose to drink and blood will be drawn from an IV line for glucose and insulin.

    Measured: 10 weeks

  2. Inflammation measured by highly sensitive C-reative protein test

    A high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), that can be done in the lab using a blood test.

    Measured: 10 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Purple Rice and Brown Rice in people with Type 2 Diabetic, run by Pennington Biomedical Research Center 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Dec 2015. 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. 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?

Glucose Tolerance (time frame: 10 weeks). 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 18 Dec 2015.
