About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Postprandial Glycemic and Insulinemic Response of ALLSWEET When Taken Alone or When Added to Sucrose: A Randomized, Double Blind, Controlled Clinical Trial in Healthy Individuals

This study will explore the postprandial glycemic response of ALLSWEET®, a non-GMO certified allulose, when consumed alone or with sucrose, compared to the consuming sucrose alone. On 3 separate days, subjects will consume in random order ALLSWEET® alone, ALLSWEET® added to sucrose, or sucrose alone. Blood samples for glucose and insulin analysis with be taken for 2 hours following consumption of the beverages.

Read the detailed description

Each subject will receive 3 test meals in a double blinded, randomized, crossover fashion.

  1. Test arm 1: 30g sucrose
  2. Test arm 2: 30g sucrose + 15g of ALLSWEET®
  3. Test arm 3: 15g ALLSWEET® All sweeteners will be mixed with 250ml of water.

Eligible subjects will be studied on 3 separate days over a period of 4 weeks or less, with at least 1 day in between test days. A fasting fingerprick blood sample will be collected for glucose and insulin analysis after which the test meal will be administered. Additional fingerprick blood samples will be drawn over the next 2 hours (15', 30', 45', 60', 90' and 120' after the first sip of the test drink).

Power calculation: A sample size of 15 subjects, is sufficient to detect a 25% difference in incremental area under the curve between meals with 80% statistical power.

Statistical Analysis: Incremental area under the curve values, blood glucose and insulin concentrations and increments at each time will be subjected to repeated-measures analysis of variance. After demonstration of significant heterogeneity, the significance of the differences between individual means will be assessed using Tukey's test to adjust for multiple comparisons, with the criterion for significance being two-tailed p<0.05. Means which differ by more than the least significant difference differ significantly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial glycemic response

    Compare the postprandial glucose incremental area under the curve response of ALLSWEET® with sucrose when taken alone or when added to sucrose.

    Measured: Acute response over 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postprandial glycemic response

    Compare the postprandial glucose levels at each time point after each test meal.

    Measured: Acute response over 2 hours

  2. Postprandial insulinemic response

    Compare the postprandial insulin levels at each time point and incremental area under teh curve after each meal.

    Measured: Acute response over 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ALLSWEET®, ALLSWEET® and sucrose and Sucrose in people with Blood Sugar, run by Anderson Advanced Ingredients at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 25 Jan 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 Canada. 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?

Postprandial glycemic response (time frame: Acute response over 2 hours). 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 Jan 2022.
