About this study

Official title: The Effect of a High Protein, High Fibre Shake Pre-load on Measures of Satiety and Subsequent Energy Intake in Healthy Overweight and Obese Subjects: An Acute Randomized, Crossover, Double-blind Placebo-controlled Study

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of a high protein, high fiber supplement pre-load on energy intake at a subsequent meal compared to a low fiber, high carbohydrate Control product in healthy overweight and obese subjects. The investigators hypothesize the high protein, high fiber pre-load will result in reduced energy intake at a subsequent meal compared to low protein, low fiber.

Being tested
High protein, high fiber dietary supplement, Low protein, low fiber comparator

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy intake (total kilocalories) at meal subsequent to intervention pre-load

    Participants will consume an ad-libitum pizza meal for 30 minutes, 30 minutes following ingestion of the pre-load intervention. At the end of the 30 minute pizza meal, total caloric intake will be recorded.

    Measured: 1 hour post-intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Appetite Questionnaire on scale of 0-100

    A standard VAS Appetite questionnaire will be completed by subjects before pre-load intervention, and at indicated time intervals. The 4 questions assess hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective consumption. Each of the questions on the VAS is a 100 mm line anchored at each end with opposing statements. Participants mark a vertical line on the line at a point that they felt reflect their feelings at the moment the test was taken. Scores will be assessed by measuring the distance between the intersection of the vertical line with the line and the left end of the line.

    Measured: pre-intervention; 10, 20, 30, 60 min post-intervention

  2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Cravings Questionnaire on scale of 0-100

    A standard VAS Cravings questionnaire will be completed by subjects before pre-load intervention, and at indicated time intervals. The 4 questions assess cravings for sweet, salty, savory, and fatty. Each of the questions on the VAS is a 100 mm line anchored at each end with opposing statements. Participants mark a vertical line on the line at a point that they felt reflect their feelings at the moment the test was taken. Scores will be assessed by measuring the distance between the intersection of the vertical line with the line and the left end of the line.

    Measured: pre-intervention; 10, 20, 30, 60 min post-intervention

  3. Subjective Physical Comfort Questionnaire on scale of 0-100

    This questionnaire assesses Gastrointestinal symptoms including Bloating, Belching, Nausea, Diarrhea, and Flatulence. Participants identify if they are currently experiencing the symptom (Yes/No) and if yes, rate the severity of the symptom (Low to High) on a 100 mm scale (0-100). Measures will be made from the left side of the scale, similar to Appetite and Cravings questionnaires.

    Measured: pre-intervention; immediately post-intervention; 30 min post-intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High protein, high fiber dietary supplement and Low protein, low fiber comparator in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Beachbody at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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 29 Mar 2017. 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 Canada. 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?

Energy intake (total kilocalories) at meal subsequent to intervention pre-load (time frame: 1 hour post-intervention). 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 NCT02979717, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2017.
