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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Combination of oat beta-glucan of different richness (35 and 70%) at low (3g) and high (5g) doses with green coffee bean extract (600 mg) in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos y Nutrición 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 1 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 25 Mar 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 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. 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.
