About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Crossover Trial to Investigate the Effects of Acute Processed Whole Orange Consumption on Postprandial Glycemic Responses in Healthy Men

Randomized, placebo controlled, double blind, postprandial crossover study in male subjects. 3 intervention arms, consisting of a control (Product A), a low dose processed whole orange (Product B) and a high dose processed whole orange (Product C), to determine the effect of the interventions on the primary endpoint of postprandial glycemia. Secondarily, plasma insulin concentrations will be quantified.

Read the detailed description

The study design is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind, crossover. This trial will include 33 subjects randomized to receive products A, B or C [240 mL (255 g)]. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of 6 sequences of 3 interventions. After the initial screening visit, subjects will visit the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) the Tufts Translational and Clinical Science Institute (CTSI) on three separate occasions. Following each intervention day there will be a two week wash out period.

Being tested
Orange flavored beverage

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Orange flavored beverage in people with Maximum Observed Plasma Glucose Concentration (Cmax), run by PepsiCo Global R&D 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 10 inclusion and 32 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 10 Mar 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. 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?

Maximum observed plasma glucose concentration (Cmax) (time frame: 0-8 hours). 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 10 Mar 2021.
