About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Evaluate the Satiating Effect Using Different Gummies With Encapsulated Flavours in a Group of Healthy Overweight Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the satiating effects of different gummies with encapsulated flavour on overweight subjects (BMI ≥25 and <30 kg / m2). Some studies have shown that the contribution of different flavours could reduce food intake. This have made grown the interest of food industry in incorporate these compounds in food and to being able to develop new functional foods into the control of body weight, as well as variables of glucose metabolism and lipid profile, which can contribute to te prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, cross-over and double-blind pilot study with 3 study arms is being performed to evaluate the satiating properties of the encapsulated flavours in different gummies in a group of healthy overweight subjects.

The investigators included 12 participants (6 men and 6 women) between 18 and 55 years (BMI ≥25 and <30 kg / m2). All volunteers will be randomized into 3 study groups, and participants will receive the 3 different study products in order during the 3 experimental phases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline Satiety Hunger Assessment

    Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). 100mm horizontal line anchored at each end with the extremes of the subjective feeling to be quantified. Subjects are instructed to rate the sensation being experienced according to how they define the line. e.g., "not at all hungry" (0mm) and "as hungry as I have ever felt" (100mm). Multiple measures are taken at repeated time intervals described below.

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change from Baseline Blood Hormonal Satiety Markers

    GLP1, Peptide YY, Ghrelin, Leptin, GIP, Peptide C

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  2. Amount of food consumed in a "food ad libitum"

    120 min After eating the study product

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  3. Total amount of food consumed in 24h

    24h Food Record Method

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  4. Change from Baseline Glucose Metabolism Parameters

    Glucose

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  5. Change from Baseline Lipid Metabolism Parameters

    Cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  6. Anthropometric Parameters

    Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m2

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  7. Sensory Perception

    Questionnaire of analysis of sensory perception of the food study product. Five questions that are valued on a scale of 0% to 100% asking about the taste and smell of the study product: desire with which the product is taken, taste, smell, consistency and what wait for effectiveness.

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

  8. Adverse Effects

    Gastrointestinal Symptoms (Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating and other disorders)

    Measured: Day 1, 8, 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental gummy with 50% free/50% encapsulated flavour and Experimental gummy with 100% encapsulated flavour in people with Overweight, run by Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz at 1 site in Spain.

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 15 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 13 Jan 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 Spain. 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?

Change from Baseline Satiety Hunger Assessment (time frame: Day 1, 8, 15). 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 13 Jan 2022.
