About this study
Official title: The Effect of a Potato Based Low-osmolaric Glucose Polymer Drink on Gastric Distress and Running Performance
The objective of this study is to investigate whether two newly developed sports drink will affect gastric distress (GD) and running performance (RP) compared to an iso-caloric control drink both in a short and longer distance run. Furthermore, the effect of the newly developed sports drinks on gastric emptying will be investigated.
The study will consist of 3 parts. Firstly, a randomized cross-over design is used for the short distance run and the effects on GD and RP. Secondly, a parallel design is used to study the effects of the drinks on GD and RP during a longer distance run. Thirdly, the gastric emptying tests will be performed in a randomized cross-over design. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaire on the gastric distress they experience. 40 participants will be enrolled to participate in part 1 and part 2. 10 out of 40 will participate in part 3 of the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Perceived degree of gastric complaints after consumption of sports drink and running exercise
Quantified as the score for the perceived degree of experiencing 7 different gastric complaints on a VAS. The total score for gastric distress and the scores for each different gastric complaint will be analysed separately for the three different time points (before, during and after exercise). The total score is the sum of the scores on the separate complaints.
Measured: Approximately 10-20 minutes for the 3 km and 40-60 minutes for the 10 km.
Finishing time during 10 km running event
Measured: Depending on the speed of the participant, an average time frame of 40-60 minutes after starting the run is expected.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Rate of gastric emptying
During 1 hour after ingestion of the sports drink, subjects will breath into a specific bag which will be analysed for the presence of C13 on specific time points. The decrease of C13 in the exhaled air is a measurement for gastric emptying time.
Measured: 1 hour after ingestion of sports drink
Blood glucose levels
On specific time points within 1 hour after ingestion of the sports drink, blood glucose levels will be determined to calculate area under the curve for the different sport drinks.
Measured: During 1 hour after ingestion of sports drink

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Sports drink 1 and Sports drink 2 in people with Gastric Distress and Running Performance, run by InnoSportNL 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 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 15 Dec 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. 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?
Perceived degree of gastric complaints after consumption of sports drink and running exercise (time frame: Approximately 10-20 minutes for the 3 km and 40-60 minutes for the 10 km.). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02401152, which also lists 16 linked publications.
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 15 Dec 2015.
