About this study

Official title: Randomised, Placebo-controlled and Acute Study to Investigate the Metabolism of a Novel Alpha-Glucan in Adults

These are the characteristics of the project:

Monocentric:

Double blind randomized and crossover: you will test all the 3 products in random order.

Read the detailed description

This study will be randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, single-center, and 3x3 crossover in design. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive the below products in single dose and in different random sequence, as determined by the randomization system

  1. 50 g novel alpha glucan
  2. 50 g (rapidly digestible control)
  3. 15 g (dietary fiber)
Being tested
Drinkable solution

    Measured: 180 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. insulin response post ingestion of a test product

    postprandial insulin response

    Measured: 180 minutes

  2. intestinal hydrogen production as measured by breath hydrogen

    postprandial breath hydrogen

    Measured: 240 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Drinkable solution in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 11 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 14 Oct 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 Switzerland. 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?

Glucose concentration post ingestion of a test product (time frame: 180 minutes). 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 14 Oct 2022.
