About this study

Official title: Gustatory Evoked Potentials and Cerebral Control of Food Intake in Obese Subjects

The aim of the study is to compare several parameters in three distinct groups of subjects: persons with obesity, persons with obesity and diabetes and persons with neither obesity nor diabetes:

  • the electrical activity in response to a sweet solution, measured before and after a standard meal, using gustatory evoked potentials (recording explained below)
  • blood hormone levels related to weight gain (insulin, dopamine, ghrelin, leptin: measured in blood samples)
  • levels of activity and quantity of an enzyme present in the saliva, amylase, which is able to break down ingested starch into several molecules of glucose.

All of these parameters will be correlated to determine whether the results are different in the 3 groups of subjects in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Recording of GEP (Gustatory Evoked Potentials)Other

    record cerebral activity thanks to electrodes placed on the head and fixed with a painless, harmless adhesive paste and linked to a computer equipped with specific software to interpret the signals obtained. The collection of data for the electric signal takes 20 minutes.

  1. Amplitude of the gustatory evoked potential

    Measured: Up to 10 days

  2. Latency of the gustatory evoked potential

    Measured: Up to 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recording of GEP (Gustatory Evoked Potentials) in people with Obesity and Diabetes, 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: lack of inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Amplitude of the gustatory evoked potential (time frame: Up to 10 days). 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?
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 9 Jun 2022.
