About this study

Official title: Post-prandial Glucose and Insulin Response to High-fiber Muffin Top Containing Resistant Starch in Healthy Adults

This randomized, double-blind, comparator controlled trial evaluated the blood glucose and insulin responses in healthy adults, after consuming a high fiber or low fiber muffin top.

Read the detailed description

The fiber administered in this trial is a resistant starch type 4 derived from high-amylose maize starch. This product is high in dietary fiber (70% total dietary fiber (TDF), AOAC 2009.01 method) and can be used in a variety of bakery applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-prandial blood glucose and insulin responses of healthy adults (n=28) after consuming a muffin top made with resistant starch or control muffin top, in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. The muffin tops were matched for total weight, total carbohydrate, sugars, protein, and fat. During each 24-hour study period, subjects consumed a standard evening meal, fasted for 12 hours, and arrived at the study clinic the following morning. Serum glucose, serum insulin, and capillary glucose were measured after muffin top consumption. The subjects completed a seven day washout between treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing resistant starch (high fiber muffin top) in people with Glucose, High Blood and Glucose, Low Blood, run by Ingredion Incorporated.

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 13 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 21 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Blood glucose response (time frame: 0-4 hours after consumption). 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 NCT03252704, 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 21 Aug 2017.
