Trial summary

The disruption of colonic microbiota has been linked to a number of diseases, mainly cardiovascular and kidney diseases. One possible means to improve the microbiota is to increase dietary fiber intake as the intake of dietary fiber shifts the fermentation from proteolytic saccharolytic fermentation.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Barley Supplemented Wheat Bread on Markers of Cardiovascular and Renal Health: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The disruption of colonic microbiota has been linked to a number of diseases, mainly cardiovascular and kidney diseases. One possible means to improve the microbiota is to increase dietary fiber intake as the intake of dietary fiber shifts the fermentation from proteolytic saccharolytic fermentation.

Beta-glucans are soluble dietary fibers mainly found in oats and barley. Results from previous studies suggest that the consumption of barley reduces the risk of cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Therefore, this study will explore the effect of barley beta-glucans on markers of Cardiovascular and Renal health.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Effect of Barley Supplemented Wheat Bread on markers of Cardiovascular and Renal Health in people with Cardiovascular Diseases and Kidney Diseases, run by Khyber Medical University Peshawar at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 Jul 2024. 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 Pakistan. 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?

Change in Serum Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) from baseline to 4 weeks (time frame: Baseline and after 4 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05312788, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 Jul 2024.
