About this study

Official title: Determination of the Postprandial Glucose And Insulin Responses of White Rice Alone And White Rice Consumed With Sugardown™

This study was a partly controlled laboratory-based study comparing the short-term postprandial blood glucose and insulin responses produced by 3 test meals containing white rice alone or with SUGARDOWN™ (Galactomannan) in overweight adults.

STUDY SUMMARY This study was a partly controlled laboratory-based study comparing the short-term postprandial blood glucose and insulin responses produced by three test meals containing white rice alone or with SUGARDOWN™ (Galactomannan) in overweight adults. In the study, subjects were their own controls. Effects of the two test meals containing SUGARDOWN™ were compared to the effects produced by test meals containing an equal-carbohydrate portion of white rice alone (the control meal). The study used a repeated-measures design, such that every subject consumed each meal on two separate occasions, completing a total of six separate test sessions. Each subject completed their test sessions on separate weekday mornings at a similar time of day, as close as possible to the time they would normally eat breakfast.

SUBJECTS Ten healthy, non-smoking, overweight or obese subjects (4 females, 6 males) voluntarily participated in this study. The mean ± SD age of the subjects was 29.2 ± 3.3 yr (range: 25.6 - 36.8 yr), and their mean ± SD body mass index value was 27.3 ± 1.1 kg/m2 (range: 25.5 - 28.7 kg/m2).

Volunteers were given detailed written and verbal information about all of the study's inclusion criteria and experimental procedures. If the volunteers decided that they would like to participate in the study, they were asked to come to the research centre on another morning, where they completed a detailed screening questionnaire that assessed their current health status and medical history. In order to participate in the study, the volunteers had to meet the inclusion criteria listed below. All suitable volunteers that were invited to participate in the study were required to sign a detailed subject information sheet and a consent form before commencing any experimental procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial increment glucose under the area curve (iAUC)

    Blood samples were collected into a micro-centrifuge tube containing the anticoagulant, heparin sodium salt. Plasma glucose concentrations were measured in duplicate using a spectrophotometric centrifugal analyser employing the glucose hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzymatic assay.

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postprandial increment insulin under the area curve (iAUC)

    Each blood sample was collected into a micro-centrifuge tube containing the anticoagulant. Plasma insulin concentrations were measured using a solid phase antibody-coated tube radioimmunoassay kit.

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rice and Sugardown™ in people with Postprandial Hyperglycemia, run by Boston Therapeutics.

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 11 inclusion and 8 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 18 Dec 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. 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?

Postprandial increment glucose under the area curve (iAUC) (time frame: 2 days). 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 18 Dec 2017.
