About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether consumption of carbonated drinks containing sweeteners affect insulin sensitivity.

Read the detailed description

Sweeteners are natural or synthetic sugar substitutes which provide a sweetness taste to drink and food with few or no additional calories. Sweeteners are widely used in commercialized beverages. Despite some debate, no significant toxicity was demonstrated at a reasonable level of consumption (less than 20 cans per day). However little data is available on the metabolic effects of a regular consumption of beverages containing sweeteners. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of a regular consumption (twice a day for 12 weeks) of a carbonated drink with sweeteners, in a normal diet, compared with unsweetened sparkling water on insulin sensitivity in healthy normoweight and overweight subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • Drink with sweetenersDietary supplement

    Subjects will have to consume a 330ml can of a drink with sweeteners twice per day as part of their usual fluid intake for 12 weeks.

  • Drink without sweetenersDietary supplement

    Subjects will have to consume a 330ml can of a drink without sweeteners twice per day as part of their usual fluid intake for 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Matsuda Insulin sensitivity Index

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Insulinogenic Index defined as ∆ insulin 0-30 / ∆ glucose 0-30

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

  2. Disposition index defined as Insulin sensitivity x insulinogenic Index

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

  3. HOMA-IR Index defined as fasting Glycemia x fasting insulinemia/22.5

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

  4. Dietary intake

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

  5. Physical activity

    Measured: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Drink with sweeteners and Drink without sweeteners in people with Glucose Homeostasis, run by Institute For European Expertise in Physiology at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 3 Mar 2017. 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 France. 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?

Matsuda Insulin sensitivity Index (time frame: Before and after each of the two 12-week intervention period). 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 NCT02031497, 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 3 Mar 2017.
