About this study

This pilot study is aimed at assessing the acute effect of several combinations of lipids differing in their fatty acid composition on glucagon-like-peptide (GLP)-2 and GLP-1 secretion in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the effect of various lipid types on GLP-2 and GLP-1 secretion. This will allow to determine the importance of lipids in nutritional solutions. Moreover, this will allow us to assess whether existing clinical formulas can be improved in order to stimulate GLP-2 and accelerate intestinal recovery.

What is being measured

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

  1. GLP-2 and GLP-1 kinetics

    GLP-2 and GLP-1 are measured using Elisa

    Measured: changes from baseline to 4 hours following meal intake

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intestinal and metabolic hormones

    Those hormones will be measured based on enzymatic technics

    Measured: Changes from baseline to 4 hours following meal intake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing meal intake in people with Healthy, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) 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 16 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 8 Nov 2013. 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. 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.

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?

GLP-2 and GLP-1 kinetics (time frame: changes from baseline to 4 hours following meal intake). 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 8 Nov 2013.
