Trial summary

This study aims to ascertain the potential of novel milk derived hydrolysates to improve glycaemic control to promote metabolic health. A comprehensive characterisation of the metabolic response to these milk derived hydrolysates will ascertain the effect of the hydrolysates in terms of insulin sensitivity.

About this study

This study aims to ascertain the potential of novel milk derived hydrolysates to improve glycaemic control to promote metabolic health. A comprehensive characterisation of the metabolic response to these milk derived hydrolysates will ascertain the effect of the hydrolysates in terms of insulin sensitivity. These hydrolysates have been shown to improve insulin resistance in cell and animal models. Therefore the investigators aim is to test their efficacy in overweight, insulin resistant individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Recent figures estimate 60% of Irish adults are overweight or obese. As obesity is associated with the development of insulin resistance, which precedes type 2 diabetes development by decades, novel food based solutions are required to improve glycaemic control and attenuate insulin resistance.

In the current study insulin resistant individuals will undergo 4 study visits, 1 screening visit and 3 subsequent visits. At each of the 3 visits they will receive an oral lipid load consisting of 100mL soya bean oil, followed by either a water control; the hydrolysate being tested or the parent protein from which the hydrolysate was derived. After which they will undergo a 4 hour hyperinsulinemic-euglycaemic clamp at each visit to assess their insulin sensitivity.

    Glucose (mmol/L)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Markers of glycaemic control

    Insulin (mU/L)inflammatory markers

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Lipid Profile

    Non-esterified fatty acids (mmol/L)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Lipid Profile

    Triglycerides (mmol/L) and other related lipid markers

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Inflammatory Markers

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Milk derived hydrolysate, Parent Protein and Lipid Load in people with Insulin Resistance, run by University College Dublin at 1 site in Ireland.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 14 Aug 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 Ireland. 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?

Glucose Disposal Rate (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 14 Aug 2017.
