What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postprandial glucose tolerance

    effects on postprandial glucose tolerance after intake of test products at breakfast. Measurements were performed at fasting (time = 0 min) and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min.

    Measured: 0-180 min after start of the meal

  2. postprandial insulin concentrations

    effects on serum insulin concentrations after intake of test products at breakfast. Measurements were performed at fasting (time = 0 min) and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min.

    Measured: 0-180 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. subjective appetite variables

    Subjective appetite variables (hunger, satiety, desire to eat) after intake of test products at breakfast, using a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on a white paper. Except from a center mark in the center of the scale there was no other visible marks. Measurements were performed at fasting (time = 0 min) and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min.

    Measured: 0-180 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nopal fractions and Test product without the active components in people with Glucose Tolerance and Appetite Sensations, run by Lund University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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 5 Oct 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 Sweden. 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?

postprandial glucose tolerance (time frame: 0-180 min after start of the meal). 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?
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 5 Oct 2020.
