About this study

Official title: The Effects of Lentil-containing Food Products on Satiety and Food Intake in Healthy Adults

The Lentil Satiety study will examine the effects of replacing wheat and rice with two types of lentils within food products (muffins and chilies) on satiety and food intake in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

The Lentil Satiety study will examine the effects of replacing wheat and rice with two types of lentils (small green Eston and red split) within food products (muffins and chilies) on satiety and food intake in healthy adults, for a total of 6 study treatments. A total of 3 to 6 study visits (corresponding to consuming all muffins and/or all chilies) will take place where participants will consume one of the study treatments and subsequently complete satiety questionnaires over 180 minutes to measure satiety as subjective appetite sensations (hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective food consumption). At 180 minutes, participants will receive ad libitum pizza and bottled water to consume until they are comfortably full for a measure of weighed food intake. At the end of each study visit, participants will be given a food scale and instructed to weigh and record all food and drink consumed for the remainder of the day for a measure of 24-hour energy intake.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satiety

    Satiety will be measured using 100mm visual analog scales (VAS) rating appetite sensations of hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective consumption

    Measured: Acute: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes after treatment consumption

  2. Food Intake

    Food intake will be measured as kilocalories using an ad libitum cheese pizza test meal

    Measured: Acute: 180 minutes following consumption of treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 24-hour Energy Intake

    24-hour energy intake will be measured by providing electronic food scales to participants to weigh and record all food and drink consumed for the rest of the day after leaving the study visit

    Measured: Acute: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Small Green Lentil Muffin, Split Red Lentil Muffin and Wheat Muffin in people with Appetite and Satiety, run by University of Guelph 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 3 inclusion and 18 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 19 Dec 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 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?

Satiety (time frame: Acute: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes after treatment consumption). The study lists 2 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 NCT03128684, 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 19 Dec 2018.
