Trial summary

The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among the population contributes to increased incidences of chronic metabolic diseases. Healthcare costs related to these diseases are rising; prevention or delay of onset of disorders associated with overweight is needed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Effects of Gastric Degradation-protected Pea Protein Extract on Mucosal Satiety Hormone Release by Human Duodenal Tissue

The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among the population contributes to increased incidences of chronic metabolic diseases. Healthcare costs related to these diseases are rising; prevention or delay of onset of disorders associated with overweight is needed. Food ingestion exerts a transient suppressive effect on appetite and further food intake by releasing gastrointestinal hormones. Proteins have been shown to be more satiating than carbohydrates and fat. Intraduodenal administration (via a naso-duodenal intubation) of pea protein has been shown to reduce food intake and increase satiety hormone levels in humans, in contrast to orally dosed (unprotected) pea protein. In the present study we aim to investigate the effects of human gastric fluid on the degradability of five different protected pea protein products. Further, in an ex vivo experiment on freshly obtained human duodenum tissue applying Ussing chamber technology; we aim to investigate the intestinal satiety hormone release by the five different prototypes. The prototype that is less degraded by human gastric fluid and is most effective in intestinal satiety hormone release will be used in a future clinical trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the release of satiety hormones (CCK, PYY, GLP-1) by intestinal mucosa in respons to five different protected pea protein extracts.

    Measured: In Ussing Chamber at baseline

  2. To measure the release of satiety hormones (CCK, PYY, GLP-1) by intestinal mucosa in respons to five different protected pea protein extracts.

    Measured: In Ussing Chamber after 240 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the degradability of the different prototypes by human gastric fluid, tested in an in vitro setting.

    First, in vitro digestion will be conducted for the gastro-resistent protein in order to calculate the degree of hydrolysis of food proteins by o-phthaldialdehyde method (OPA). First, OPA solution and serine standard solution will be prepared. Samples are analyzed after the in vitro digestion. Measurements are made on 96 well microplates, each sample is analyzed twice. The absorbance is measured on spectrophotometer. The degree of hydrolysis corresponds to the amount of amino groups released during enzymatic digestion.

    Measured: At baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Saturn in people with Obesity and Overweight, run by Maastricht University Medical Center 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 13 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 7 Jul 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 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?

To measure the release of satiety hormones (CCK, PYY, GLP-1) by intestinal mucosa in respons to five different protected pea protein extracts. (time frame: In Ussing Chamber at baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jul 2015.
