Trial summary

Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by excess body weight, large waist circumference, high cholesterol and glucose in the blood, and hypertension. People with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for heart diseases. Research shows benefits of regular fiber intake in metabolic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dietary Fiber Intervention in Hutterite Population of South Dakota With and Without Signs of Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a condition characterized by excess body weight, large waist circumference, high cholesterol and glucose in the blood, and hypertension. People with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for heart diseases. Research shows benefits of regular fiber intake in metabolic syndrome. However, due to altered taste and texture of the high fiber foods, long term intake of fiber is a challenge for metabolic syndrome patients. This study is designed to find if blinded-substitution of regular wheat flour in domestic kitchen with wheat flour enriched by an adaptable type of fiber (resistant starch-4), minimizes metabolic syndrome symptoms. this special type of fiber is also obtained from wheat.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RS4 enriched flour in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by South Dakota State University 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 27 Sep 2021. 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?

Changes in metabolic syndrome risk components (time frame: 26 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01887964, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Sep 2021.
