About this study

This study includes an inclusion visit, 2 visits to the Rennes University Hospital and the filling of two on-line questionnaires.

The first visit to the University-Hospital of Rennes, during which a blood sample will be taken, morpho-anatomic measures (height, weight, hip and size), impedancemetry and resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry will be carried out in the Clinical Investigation Unit.

Read more

During this visit, the volunteers will also have to bring a sample of urine and faeces previously collected at home.

The two on-line questionnaires (hedonic and caloric evaluation of foods and beverages on photos) will have to be completed by the volunteers between the first and the second visit to the University-Hospital.

Finally, the volunteers will go to the University-Hospital of Rennes for the second visit, on the Neurinfo platform, during which they will be subjected to a cognitive two-choice test based on food and drink pictures, during fMRI. Before and after the fMRI session, an assessment of the state of hunger, thirst, and general status of the volunteer will be carried out using a numerical scale ranging from 1 to 10.

What is being measured

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

  1. Significant change in cerebral activity in zones involved in food intake inhibition control

    Significant change in cerebral activity (expressed as a significant variation in hemodynamic response BOLD in the condition of food cognitive tasks) in zones involved in food intake inhibition control (dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex, upper frontal gyrus)

    Measured: at 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Significant change in cerebral activity in areas involved in the control of reward and motivation (striatum dorsal, insula), associated with modulation of the intestinal microbiota and metabolic and hormonal homeostasis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing First Visit, on-line questionnaires and fMRI in people with Neurocognitive Correlates of Eating Habits, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 21 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 23 May 2023. 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 France. 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?

Significant change in cerebral activity in zones involved in food intake inhibition control (time frame: at 2 weeks). 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 NCT03076489, which also lists 2 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 23 May 2023.
