Trial summary

This study aims at comparing learning mechanisms to increase vegetable acceptance in infants at complementary feeding, namely repeated exposure (RE), flavor-flavor learning (FFL) and flavor-nutrient learning (FNL); measuring the stability of the learning effect; and examining the impact of infants' feeding history on… Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Repeated consumption of basic artichoke purée.Behavioural

    In this conditioning trial, the effect of repeated consumption of different types of artichoke purée was studied. In Arm 1, participants were repeatedly exposed to basic artichoke purée. In Arm 2, participants were repeatedly exposed to sweet artichoke purée. In Arm 3, participants were repeatedly exposed to fat artichoke purée. Change in intake and liking of basic artichoke purée was evaluated at baseline and after 10 exposures to artichoke purée ; and at 3 follow-ups: after 2 weeks (FU2W), after 3 months (FU3M) and after 6 months (FU6M).

  • Repeated consumption of sweet artichoke purée.Behavioural

    In this conditioning trial, the effect of repeated consumption of different types of artichoke purée was studied. In Arm 1, participants were repeatedly exposed to basic artichoke purée. In Arm 2, participants were repeatedly exposed to sweet artichoke purée. In Arm 3, participants were repeatedly exposed to fat artichoke purée. Change in intake and liking of basic artichoke purée was evaluated at baseline and after 10 exposures to artichoke purée ; and at 3 follow-ups: after 2 weeks (FU2W), after 3 months (FU3M) and after 6 months (FU6M).

  • Repeated exposure to fat artichoke purée.Behavioural

    In this conditioning trial, the effect of repeated consumption of different types of artichoke purée was studied. In Arm 1, participants were repeatedly exposed to basic artichoke purée. In Arm 2, participants were repeatedly exposed to sweet artichoke purée. In Arm 3, participants were repeatedly exposed to fat artichoke purée. Change in intake and liking of basic artichoke purée was evaluated at baseline and after 10 exposures to artichoke purée ; and at 3 follow-ups: after 2 weeks (FU2W), after 3 months (FU3M) and after 6 months (FU6M).

What is being measured

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

  1. Food intake

    Intake of artichoke puree at baseline and at different time points of the experiment (Exposures 1 to 10 defined as E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 ,E6, E7, E8, E9, E10, Postexposure, FU2W, FU3M, FU6M)

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an average duration of 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Food Liking

    Evolution of Liking of artichoke puree at baseline and at different time points of the experiment (Exposures 1 to 10 defined as E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 ,E6, E7, E8, E9, E10, Postexposure, FU2W, FU3M, FU6M)

    Measured: Participants will be followed for an average duration of 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Repeated consumption of basic artichoke purée., Repeated consumption of sweet artichoke purée. and Repeated exposure to fat artichoke purée. in people with Development of Eating Behavior, run by Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 15 Feb 2013. 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 France. 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?

Food intake (time frame: Participants will be followed for an average duration of 8 months). 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 15 Feb 2013.
