Trial summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of soluble corn fiber (SCF) on bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in pre-pubertal boys and girls. The hypothesis to be tested is: SCF will lead to greater increase of BMD, as measured with densitometry in both low calcium as well as high… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Soluble Corn Fiber on BMC, BMD and Bone Biomarkers of Pre-pubertal Boys and Girls : a Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of soluble corn fiber (SCF) on bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in pre-pubertal boys and girls. The hypothesis to be tested is: SCF will lead to greater increase of BMD, as measured with densitometry in both low calcium as well as high calcium intakes compared to placebo.

Read the detailed description

Main objective To investigate the effects of soluble corn fiber (SCF) supplementation on bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in pre-pubertal boys and girls.

Secondary objectives

The secondary objectives are:

To investigate changes in bone formation and bone resorption markers in response to soluble corn fiber supplementation in the diet of prepubertal boys and girls consuming adequate calcium intake vs placebo To investigate changes in body composition in response to soluble corn fiber supplementation in the diet of prepubertal boys and girls consuming adequate calcium intake vs placebo

Hypothesis Soluble corn fiber would lead to improved BMC and BMD accrual in pre-pubertal children compared to placebo.

Study design The proposed study is a double blind, randomized, single center, parallel design trial

Duration of study The duration of the study intervention would be 12 months

Conditions
Bone Health
Being tested
Usual intake + placebo fruit juice, Usual intake+SCF fruit juice, Adequate calcium + placebo fruit juice, Adequate calcium+ SCF fruit juice

What participants receive

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

  • Usual intake + placebo fruit juiceDietary supplement

    Participants will consume 200 mls of placebo fruit flavoured juice

    Participants will consume 200 mls of fruit flavoured juice containing 12 g soluble corn fiber (SCF)

  • Adequate calcium + placebo fruit juiceDietary supplement

    Participants will consume 200 mls of placebo fruit flavoured juice added with 600 mg calcium to meet RNI

  • Adequate calcium+ SCF fruit juiceDietary supplement

    Participants will consume 200 mls of fruit flavoured juice containing 12 g soluble corn fiber (SCF) added with 600 mg calcium to meet RNI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Usual intake+SCF fruit juice and Adequate calcium+ SCF fruit juice in people with Bone Health, run by IMU University, Malaysia at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 3 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 9 Aug 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 Malaysia. 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?

Bone mineral density ( BMD) (time frame: 12 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03864172, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2019.
