About this study
Official title: Efficacy of New Products Combining Hydroxycinnamates and Beta-glucans as a Dietary Tool Against Obesity and Associated Dysfunctions (Hyperglycemia and Dyslipemia)
Randomized, double blind, parallel study to assess the effect of a dietary supplement combining polyphenols (hydroxycinnamates from green coffee) and a soluble dietary fiber (oat beta-glucans) in obese/overweight subjects.
Read the detailed description
This pilot study intends to select the best combination of beta-glucan and a green coffee bean phenolic extract. Four different supplements were formulated, containing 3 or 5 g of two types of beta-glucan, with 35% and 70% b-glucan content, together with 600 mg of the green coffee bean extract. Blind sachets were prepared containing half the daily dose of the supplement.
60 overweight/obese male and female volunteers (BMI 25-35 kg/m2, 18-60 y old) were recruited and randomly assigned to one of the four intervention groups. Volunteers were instructed to consume one sachet half an hour before lunch and dinner dissolved in 250 mL water daily during 6 weeks.
At the beginning and at the end of the study, volunteers came to the Human Nutrition Unit at the research center after an overnight fast. Urine and blood samples were obtained, blood pressure was measured and anthropometric measurements were performed. Dietary and physical activity records were collected.

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?
Anthropometric changes (time frame: End of 6-week intervention). 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 25 Mar 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
