About this study

Official title: Food Prototype Containing Resistant Starch Type 4 on Postprandial Glycemic Response in Healthy Adults

The primary objective of the study is to determine if resistant starch reduces the 2 hour glycemic response as measured by positive incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (Positive iAUC- ignores area below fasting). Secondary endpoints include insulin iAUC, glucose and insulin net incremental AUC (net iAUC), time point of peak rise (T max) of glucose and insulin, and glucose and insulin concentrations at each time point (C max).

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center randomized, single-blinded, cross-over design study to allow for three acute evaluations of 2 hr postprandial glucose in response to 3 cereal bars containing different amounts of resistant starch. The study will evaluate acute glucose and insulin response in healthy men and women aged 20-45 years.

The trial will initiate with record collection to assess background general health (screening visit) and dietary intake followed by counseling to follow a relatively low polyphenolic beverages/foods diet, and high fiber containing food (particularly fermentable) which will commence at least 3 days before randomization (washout) and continue for the duration of the study. After 3-day washout period, subjects will be randomized to treatment order within Phase (Treatment cereal bars A, B, C). Glucose and insulin responses following the consumption of cereal bars will be determined by blood collections via venous catheter. Blood samples (3 ml of blood) will be collected at -5 min (before the cereal bar consumption) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after consuming bars for assessment in changes in glucose and insulin concentrations in the plasma. The primary endpoint is glucose positive incremental area under the curve (positive iAUC- ignores area below fasting) among the three tests bars. Secondary endpoints are glucose peak, insulin positive iAUC and peak and glucose and insulin net incremental AUC (net iAUC). Adverse events also will be collected and frequency tabulated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cereal Bar no fiber, Cereal bar with 10 g fiber and Cereal bar with 20 g fiber in people with Healthy, run by Clinical Nutrition Research Center, Illinois Institute of Technology 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 9 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 14 Jul 2020. 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. 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?

Changes in Plasma Glucose concentration as measured by positive incremental area under the curve (positive iAUC) over 2 hours (time frame: Postprandial 2 hours). 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 14 Jul 2020.
