About this study

Official title: Effect of a White Grape Juice Compared to Apple Juice on Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Breath Hydrogen Response in Human Subjects

The goal of this study is to determine subjective gastrointestinal tolerance response and differences in breath hydrogen response following the consumption of two types of juice. This double-blind crossover study requires participants to arrive to the lab 12 hours fasted, consume 12 oz of juice and complete gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaires as well as produce samples for breath hydrogen analysis at various time points over the next 3 hours. Subjects will be asked to complete additional questionnaires at 12 and 24 hours post consumption, from home. Subjects will also be asked to keep a food record for 24 hours prior to their scheduled visit times to assure compliance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in gastrointestinal tolerance from baseline

    Subjects will answer a 7 symptom questionnaire regarding the intensity of gastrointestinal symptoms experienced following juice consumption. Questionnaire is adapted from the validated Bovenschen gastrointestinal tolerance questionnaire. Questionnaire is to be completed at the following time points: baseline, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min, 12 hours, 24 hours.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Breath Hydrogen from baseline

    Patients will be asked to exhale a full breath into a sample collection bag. The breath samples will be extracted and measured using the Quintron BreathTracker Analyzer at time points: baseline, 60 min, 120 min. This will be a marker of carbohydrate fermentation in the colon.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing White grape juice and Apple juice in people with Food Selection, run by University of Minnesota 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 24 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 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. 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?

Change in gastrointestinal tolerance from baseline (time frame: 24 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 24 Feb 2016.
