About this study

Official title: Effects of Diet Type Selection Based on Response to a Carbohydrate Intolerance Questionnaire and Genetic Screening on Success to a Weight Loss and Exercise Program

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of diet type selection based on response to a Carbohydrate Intolerance Questionnaire (CIQ) and genetic screening on success to a weight loss and exercise program.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if stratification of individuals based on responses to a Carbohydrate Intolerance Questionnaire (CIQ), genetic screening, and/or DNA methylation affects weight loss success and/or health outcomes of women following the Curves moderate carbohydrate, high protein, low fat diet (30% carbohydrate, 45% protein, 25% fat) or the Curves carbohydrate restricted, high protein, moderate fat diet (20% carbohydrate, 45% protein, 35% fat).

Being tested
Positive CIQ plus High Carbohydrate Diet, Positive CIQ plus High Protein Diet, Negative CIQ plus High Carbohydrate Diet, Negative CIQ plus High Protein Diet

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive CIQ plus High Carbohydrate Diet, Positive CIQ plus High Protein Diet and Negative CIQ plus High Carbohydrate Diet in people with Diet Modification, run by Texas A&M University.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 17 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Effects of diet selection on physical activity patterns changes (steps per day) (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Apr 2017.
