Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Based on medical history and previous examination, no gastrointestinal complaints can be defined.
  • Age between 18 and 65 years. A higher age comes with a higher chance of comorbidities. These could influence our study outcomes and therefore this age range was chosen. Furthermore, we think this study would be too invasive for subjects over the age of 65. This study will include healthy adult subjects (male and female). Women must be taking contraceptives.
  • BMI between 18 and 25 kg/m2)
  • Weight stable over at least the last 6 months (≤5% weight change)

Who cannot join

  • History of severe cardiovascular, respiratory, urogenital, gastrointestinal/ hepatic, hematological/immunologic, HEENT (head, ears, eyes, nose, throat), dermatological/connective tissue, musculoskeletal, metabolic/nutritional, endocrine, neurological/psychiatric diseases, allergy, major surgery and/or laboratory assessments which might limit participation in or completion of the study protocol. The severity of the disease (major interference with the execution of the experiment or potential influence on the study outcomes) will be decided by the principal investigator.
  • Use of medication, including vitamin supplementation, except oral contraceptives, within 14 days prior to testing
  • Administration of investigational drugs or participation in any scientific intervention study which may interfere with this study (to be decided by the principle investigator), in the 180 days prior to the study
  • Major abdominal surgery interfering with gastrointestinal function (uncomplicated appendectomy, cholecystectomy and hysterectomy allowed, and other surgery upon judgement of the principle investigator)
  • Dieting (medically prescribed, vegetarian, diabetic, macrobiological, biological dynamic)
  • Pregnancy, lactation
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Excessive alcohol consumption (>20 alcoholic consumptions per week)
  • Smoking
  • Blood donation within 3 months before the study period
  • Self-admitted HIV-positive state
  • Evidence of casein or hypersensitivity

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Repetitive Ileal Brake Activation on Food Intake, Satiety, Gastrointestinal Peptide Release, Gastric Emptying and Gallbladder Volume

The appearance of intact macronutrients in the small intestine induces an intestinal brake; a negative feedback mechanism from different parts of the intestine to the stomach, the small intestine and to the central nervous system. These processes inhibit food processing, appetite sensations and food intake, and furthermore they increase feelings of satiety and satiation. Several studies showed that intraileal infusion of nutrients resulted in a reduction in food intake. However only acute effects were investigated in these studies and thus far it is not known whether repetitive (intermittent) infusion results in adaptation to repeated exposure and, thus, a lowered ileal brake response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ad libitum food intake

    Ad libitum food intake will be measured in kcal and the end of each test day (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Satiety

    Visual analogue scale forms for satiety (0-100 mm scale) wil be filled in during each test day (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  2. Gastrointestinal peptide release (CCK)

    Blood will be drawn during each test day (multiple time points) (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  3. Gastrointestinal peptide release (GLP-1)

    Blood will be drawn during each test day (multiple time points) (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  4. Gastrointestinal peptide release (PYY)

    Blood will be drawn during each test day (multiple time points) (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  5. Gastrointestinal peptide release (insulin)

    Blood will be drawn during each test day (multiple time points) (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  6. Gastrointestinal peptide release (glucose)

    Blood will be drawn during each test day (multiple time points) (4 in total, all within one week)

    Measured: 1 Day

  7. gastric emptying rate

    Gastric emptying rate with 13C octanoic acid breath test to determine T1/2

    Measured: 1 Day

  8. Gallbladder volume

    Gallbladder measurements with ultrasound (volume of GB in mL will be scored)

    Measured: 1 Day

  9. Small intestinal transit time

    Small intestinal transit time measurements with H2 breath analyser and lactulose

    Measured: 1 Day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ileal infusion of casein and Ileal infusion of tap water in people with Eating and Obesity, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 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 3 Nov 2015. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Ad libitum food intake (time frame: 1 Day). 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 3 Nov 2015.
