About this study

Official title: Screening Whole Grain Dietary Intake Biomarkers and Validating the Dose-response Relationship in a Randomized Controlled Study in China.

Dose-response validation of whole grain dietary intake biomarkers remains limited, and it is debatable whether these markers could be utilized as classifiers for different levels of whole grain consumption. Because there are significant disparities in genetic background and dietary patterns between Chinese and Western cultures, it is unclear if whole grain dietary intake biomarkers can characterize whole grain consumption in Chinese populations. To address these issues, the current study was designed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of potential whole grain markers in a randomized controlled trial, as well as to validate the markers' dose-response relationship, so that they can be used in nutritional epidemiological studies and dietary intake assessments of whole grains.

Read the detailed description

An acute randomized controlled trial was performed and the total study group is randomly divided into four groups: the amounts of WG wheat flour administered were 0 g, 25g, 50 g and 100 g. Experimental period with a total of 6 days was subdivided into two parts: -5 days to 0 h defined as the run-in period, 0-24 h (after the dose-related test meal), defined as the test day.

What is being measured

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

  1. whole grain plasma and urine biomarkers discovery and identification

    Discovery of whole grain plasma and urine biomarkers after acute intakes of WG wheat food using LC-MS untargeted metabolomics approach in a designed study, identify the specific biomarkers for WG wheat with high confidence levels.

    Measured: Baseline and 0~24 hours after intervention food intake

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Validate the performance of the potential WG biomarkers.

    The receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to validate the performance of the potential WG biomarkers in the dose-response validation set

    Measured: Baseline and 0~24 hours after intervention food intake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole grain wheat flour in people with Chronic Disease Prevention, run by Peking University at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 22 May 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 China. 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?

whole grain plasma and urine biomarkers discovery and identification (time frame: Baseline and 0~24 hours after intervention food intake). 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 22 May 2024.
