Trial summary

Exploratory study with double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, full cross-over design. The main objective is to identify one or two flour compositions in a carbohydrate-based food that produce a significant difference (alpha =0.2) in the time to reach 50% of cumulative absorption of exogenous glucose compared to… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Different Flour Compositions in a Carbohydrate-based Food on Rate of Exogenous Glucose Appearance in Blood.

Exploratory study with double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, full cross-over design.

The main objective is to identify one or two flour compositions in a carbohydrate-based food that produce a significant difference (alpha =0.2) in the time to reach 50% of cumulative absorption of exogenous glucose compared to the control.

Read the detailed description

Twelve volunteers will participate in the study; each person will be studied on three different occasions at least one week apart, consuming the three different test products in a randomized order. Test products are carbohydrate-based food made from different flour mixes differing in their expected rate of intestinal starch digestion. The products are labeled with 13C starch.

    Measured: Measured during 360 min for 3 periods

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total blood glucose and insulin

    Measured: Measured during 360 min for 3 periods

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbohydrate based food mix 1 and Carbohydrate based food mix 2 in people with Healthy, run by Unilever R&D at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 19 Jun 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 Netherlands. 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?

Rate of appearance of exogenous glucose (RaE) based on the dual isotope technique. (time frame: Measured during 360 min for 3 periods). 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 19 Jun 2013.
