About this study

Official title: Effect of Energy Density on Liking and on Caloric Adjustment Conditioning After Sweet Beverage Exposure in Children Aged 8-11 y

The main objective is to study, in 8-11 year old children, the influence of energy density conditioning on liking for new flavored beverages and on caloric adjustment after the beverage consumption. The stability of the energy conditioning was evaluated after a period without exposure and after an extinction period during which the energy density of the beverages was changed.

Being tested
2 exposures arm, 7 exposures arm
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • 2 exposures armBehavioural

    During this study, children were exposed to 2 flavored sweetened beverages: a high energy version (HE: 150kcal) and a no energy version (NE: 0kcal).

    During a 4-wk conditioning period, children were exposed either 2 times to each beverage.

    After a 3-wk stability period without exposure, children were exposed 3 times to both beverages in which the association between the flavor and the energy density had been switched (4-wk extinction period).

  • 7 exposures armBehavioural

    During this study, children were exposed to 2 flavored sweetened beverages: a high energy version (HE: 150kcal) and a no energy version (NE: 0kcal).

    During a 4-wk conditioning period, children were exposed either 7 times to each beverage.

    After a 3-wk stability period without exposure, children were exposed 3 times to both beverages in which the association between the flavor and the energy density had been switched (4-wk extinction period).

What is being measured

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

  1. Flavored beverages liking and preference before the conditioning period (T0)

    Liking and preference measurements for the flavored beverages, before the conditioning period.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Energy adjustment before the conditioning period (T0)

    Measure of energy intake at the lunch following the beverage consumption, before the conditioning period

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2 exposures arm and 7 exposures arm in people with Conditioning of Caloric Adjustment and Liking in Children, 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 2 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 25 Feb 2014. 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?

Flavored beverages liking and preference before the conditioning period (T0) (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT02070185, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Feb 2014.
