About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Crossover Trial to Assess the Effects of Replacing Commonly Consumed Breakfast Foods With Eggs on Insulin Sensitivity and Other Markers of Cardiometabolic Health in Men and Women at Increased Risk for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

The objective of this trial is to assess the effects of whole egg consumption (12 per week), compared to energy-matched typical breakfast control foods, on insulin sensitivity and other markers of metabolic health, including fasting lipoprotein lipid levels and resting blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, crossover study that includes two screening visits and two 4-week test periods separated by a 4-week washout. Subjects will consume two eggs/day (12 eggs/week consumed over 6 days per week, provided as breakfast foods such as burrito-type roll-up, egg sandwich and omelet) or non-egg based control foods (provided as breakfast foods such as English muffins, bagels, ready-to-eat cereal, and flavored muffins). The background diet will be a habitual diet. The nutritional profiles of the egg and control breakfast foods will be designed such that the energy from eggs will be substituted for a mixture of carbohydrate, protein and fat in the control foods.

Study foods will be dispensed with instructions to consume the assigned breakfast food starting on day 1. Subjects will be instructed to consume the breakfast foods in their entirety each day, for the duration of the 28 day test period, and to record daily study food intake. Subjects will receive diet instruction on the incorporation of food substitutions during the test period to maintain habitual energy intake. Compliance will be assessed using the Daily Log intake and number of foods consumed based on returned foods.

An intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) will be completed at baseline and the end of each treatment period for evaluation of insulin sensitivity. Blood will be collected for a fasting lipid profile (at all visits), glucose and insulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), vertical auto profile (VAP) for cholesterol carried by lipoprotein fractions (at baseline and end of each treatment period), with additional blood samples collected for storage and archived for possible future analysis of non-genetic indicators of metabolism. Assessments of vital signs and body weight, review of concomitant medication/supplement use and inclusion and exclusion criteria for relevant changes, and evaluation of adverse effects will be performed throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Egg based breakfast foods and Non-egg based breakfast foods in people with PreDiabetes, run by Midwest Center for Metabolic and Cardiovascular Research at 1 site in United States.

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 16 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 24 Jul 2019. 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 United States. 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 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?

Insulin sensitivity index (IV-SI) from short (40 min) IVGTT. (time frame: Up to 40 minutes - measured at baseline and end of each treatment period.). 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 2019.
