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)

The study aimed at assessing the effect of a decaffeinated green coffee extract, rich in hydroxycinnamates, oat beta-glucans or the combination of both bioactive compounds on overweight/obese subjects with hyperglycemia.

Read the detailed description

In a randomized, crossover, blind, three-arm study, volunteers consumed twice a day a nutraceutical providing 5 g/d beta-glucan (BG), 600 mg/d green coffee polyphenols (GC) or a combination of both (5 g/d BG + 600 mg/d GC). Each intervention stage lasted 8 weeks and was followed by a 4-week wash-out.

Blood, urine and fecal samples were obtained at the beginning and end of each intervention stage. Blood pressure, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and body composition (body weight, anthropometry, bioimpedance) were measured at each control visit. Physical activity was controlled by accelerometry (1 week during each intervention stage). Energy expenditure was measured by calorimetry. Food intake was monitored by 3-d food records. Satiety was determined by subjective (VAS) and objective (weighting consumed food) records after consuming the nutraceutical during each intervention stage.

In a subset of volunteers (9), a pharmacokinetic study was performed to assess bioavailability and metabolism of polyphenols at the beginning and end of each intervention (GC and GC+BG only). In these volunteers, blood was taken at different times during 24 h; urine samples were also collected at different intervals during 24 h, and feces were obtained at 0 and 24 h approximately after consuming the nutraceuticals containing GC. A targeted metabolomic analysis was carried out in these samples. In these volunteers, incretins and hormones were also determined in blood samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body weight

    Change of body weight (estimated 2.5 kg) at the end of the intervention

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Body fat percentage

    Change of body fat percentage (total and visceral)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Anthropometry

    Change of body circumferences (waist, hip, thigh) or skin folds at the end of the intervention

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Insulin resistance

    Change in fasting blood glucose and/or insulin levels, use to calculate homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), beta-cell function (HOMA-beta) or quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) indexes. Outcome would be a modification of at least one of these indexes at the end of the intervention

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Blood lipids

    Modification of serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol blood, triglycerides at the end of the intervention

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Green coffee extract, Beta glucan and Green coffee + beta-glucan in people with Overweight/Obesity and Insulin Resistance, 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 17 Aug 2021. 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?

Body weight (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 17 Aug 2021.
