Trial summary

Dietary fiber intake is protective against overweight and obesity; however, a significant fiber gap exists between consumption and recommended intake values. Soluble fiber beneficially impacts metabolism, and supplementation may be a feasible approach to improve body composition and glycemia in overweight and obese… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adults ≥ 18 years of age with overweight and obesity but without physician diagnosed chronic disease at screening.

Who may be able to join

  • Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) will be included in the systematic review and meta-analysis if they involve participants who are:
  • Overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 for U.S. populations and ≥ 23.0 kg/m2 for Asian populations and/or waist circumference ≥ 40 inches (94 cm) in men or ≥ 35 inches (80 cm) in women and/or waist-to-hip ratio ≥ 0.90 in men or ≥ 0.85 in women).
  • Weight stable and not actively trying to lose weight at screening.
  • Without physician-diagnosed chronic conditions at screening (e.g., dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease).
  • Included studies will be soluble fiber supplementation interventions that are controlled feeding studies or conducted among free-living subjects that provide data for outcomes of interest.

Who cannot join

  • Studies will be excluded from the systematic review and meta-analysis if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • Studies conducted in animals.
  • Mechanistic research.
  • Human trials involving pregnant women, breastfeeding women, or children.

  • Studies less than 1 week in duration.
  • Studies that pool outcome measure data for healthy weight and overweight and obese individuals.
  • Studies involving whole food treatments or high fiber profile diets.
  • Weight loss interventions involving other tactics, such as counseling or energy restriction.

About this study

Official title: Effects of Soluble Fiber Consumption on Body Weight, Glycemia, and Insulinemia in Adults With Overweight and Obesity: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Dietary fiber intake is protective against overweight and obesity; however, a significant fiber gap exists between consumption and recommended intake values. Soluble fiber beneficially impacts metabolism, and supplementation may be a feasible approach to improve body composition and glycemia in overweight and obese individuals. The investigators will evaluate results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of soluble fiber supplementation among overweight and obese adults for outcomes related to weight management (e.g. body mass index [BMI], body weight, body fat percentage, waist circumference) and glucose and insulin homeostasis (e.g. fasting glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], fasting insulin) through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 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 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 10 Jul 2018. 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?

Body mass index (kg/m2) (time frame: ≥ 1 week). The study lists 7 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 NCT03003897, 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 10 Jul 2018.
