Trial summary

To quantify the glycemic index of the SP energy-smart-based nutrition supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula as compared to a glucose drink. We hypothesized that both the energy-smart-based nutritional supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula will have low glycemic index. Read more about this study

Official title: Glycemic Response of Amylopectin Containing Drinks

To quantify the glycemic index of the SP energy-smart-based nutrition supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula as compared to a glucose drink. We hypothesized that both the energy-smart-based nutritional supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula will have low glycemic index.

The aim of the study is to quantify the glycemic index of the SP energy-smart-based nutrition supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula as compared to a glucose drink. We hypothesized that both the energy-smart-based nutritional supplement and the SP Glucose-support formula will have low glycemic index.

Read the detailed description

Subjects: 9 non-diabetic (HbA1c < 6.5) males aged 30-55 years with body mass indices ranging from 27.5 to 35 kg∙m-2. Individuals with impaired glucose tolerance will be included as long as they are not diagnosed with diabetes and their HbA1c is less than 6.5.

Preliminary Testing: Medical history, weight, height, body composition via dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement.

Protocol: After a 10-hour overnight fast, subjects will complete 3 experimental visits in which they will ingest one of three beverages in a randomized order. During experimental visits subjects will either be given the following 3 experimental drinks:

  • Full SP-glucose balance formula (200 kcal)
  • Energy smart carbohydrate blend (50 g, 200 kcal)
  • Liquid dextrose solution in the form of TRUTOL ® Glucose Tolerance Test Beverage (50 g, 200 kcal)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbohydrate drink, Energy smart Carbohydrate blend and Liquid Dextrose in people with Glycemic Index, run by Arizona State University 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 8 Sep 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Covid-19 restrictions). 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?

Area Under the Curve of Glucose (time frame: 120 minutes). The study lists 4 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 8 Sep 2022.
