About this study

This study examines if there are differences in satiety responses between structurally different wholegrain rye products.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of a satiety trial and mastication trial. The satiety trial consists of five study visits. Five cereal products with berry soup are presented in random order for each subject serving one of them in each study visit (crossover study design). Each meal consists of rye product or wheat bread providing 190 kcal of energy and of 3 dl berry soup (3 dl) providing 140 kcal of energy. The participants are instructed to evaluate their satiety and related sensations before eating the test food, right after eating and then every 30 min until 210 min after breakfast consumption. The evaluated sensations are hunger, fullness, satiety, desire to eat and prospective food consumption ("How much would you be able to eat right now?"), "thirstiness", "mood", "vigourosness" and "pleasantness"."Pleasantness" will be evaluated only right after eating the test food.

Cereal food samples with 3-digit number codes will be offered to each participant in a random order in mastication trial. The study products are rye products with varying structures. First the participant is asked to evaluate the expected satiety of the product (How filling would you expect this portion to be on a scale from 0 (=not full at all) to 10 (=extremely full)). Secondly the same food will be served to the participant in three portions and the participant will be asked to masticate each portion until she considers it to be ready for swallowing. Instead of swallowing the bolus will be expectorated to a plastic container which is kept on ice. The mastication process is characterized by measuring electrical activity of facial muscles by electromyography (EMG). The mastication process will be video-recorded to support data handling.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rye products with varying structures in people with Subjective Appetite and Satiety, run by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland at 1 site in Finland.

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 2 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 28 Nov 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 Finland. 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?

Postprandial satiety, assessed using 10 cm visual analogue scale (0=not at all, 10=Extremely) (time frame: In every 30 min until 210 min after consumption). 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 28 Nov 2016.
