About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Link Between the Characteristics of Oral Physiology and the Formation of the Food Bolus During the Consumption of Cheese Products in Elderly People

The aim of this study is to understand how dairy products enriched in minerals and proteins are broken down in the mouth. More specifically, investigators wish to evaluate the link between oral physiology (salivation and mastication) and formation of the food bolus during the consumption of enriched cheese, that is to say the way in which the food is broken down to be swallowed.

The study will take place at the INRA in Dijon during 2 one-hour sessions spread over 4 months. These two sessions will allow investigators to characterise the chewing behaviour of the subjects and their salivation, and the structure of the food bolus formed when eating the four products of the project.

For each of the four foods in each session:

  • Two samples of saliva will be taken
  • A video will be made of subjects eating one of the study products
  • Subjects will chew the study foods and spit them out.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Two samples of salivaOther

    1. Without stimulation: the first will be used to measure the flow of naturally secreted saliva
    2. With stimulation: the second will will be used to measure the flow and viscosity of the saliva secreted after stimulation
  • Chewing behaviourOther

    Measure the time taken by subjects to chew the food and the number of bites they use before swallowing

  • Study of the food bolusOther

    • Analysis by a compression and viscosity test
    • Evaluation of the quantity of saliva incorporated by drying

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Two samples of saliva, Chewing behaviour and Study of the food bolus in people with Old Person, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon 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 4 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrick MANCKOUNDIA (3 80 29 39 70 ext. +33, patrick.manckoundia@chu-dijon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of chewing (time frame: Change from baseline at 4 months). The study lists 4 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 24 Jul 2017.
