What participants receive

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

  • D-alluloseDietary supplement

    Eligible subjects will come for visit 1 to consume varying dose of D-allulose with sucrose beverage with 1 of 5 beverages in a random order which will be blinded for both subjects and investigators. They will have to do 24-hour dietary record a day prior to each visit. Subjects have to be abstained from energy diet within 8 hours prior to each visit. Venous blood samples will be collected 6 mL for measurement of FPG and insulin before taking any study product. Subjects have to drink all within 1 minute. Blood samples will be drawn again 6 mL at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after consumption for measurement of PG and insulin. Every subject will be asked to come back to finish OSTT with 5 study products in a random order, each at 7 days or >5 days and <12 days apart.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing D-allulose in people with Impaired Glucose Tolerance, run by Chiang Mai University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 2 Feb 2016. 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 Thailand. 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?

The dose-response effects of D-allulose (psicose) with sucrose beverage on glucose tolerance (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT02455934, which also lists 13 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 2 Feb 2016.
