About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Evaluating the Effect of Oat Polyphenols on Post-prandial Glucose Response in Healthy Adults.

The trial will use a two period acute double-blind cross-over design to compare the effects of a serving of oatmeal containing high or low amounts of avenanthramides (AV) on post-prandial blood glucose response in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

The clinical trial will follow a two period acute double-blind cross-over design. It will take place at Richardson Centre for Functional Food and Nutraceuticals (RCFFN) at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

The trial will recruit healthy adult participants. Participants will consent to participate in two acute feeding sessions. Participants will be randomized to either control (low avenanthramides) then treatment (high avenanthramides) or treatment then control. Participants will arrive at the study center fasted between 8 and 10:30 am on the session days. They will be provided either the study treatment or control product based on randomization sequence for their first study visit. Baseline blood glucose (0 min) will be measured in duplicate via finger stick blood sample right before their first bite of the treatment product, and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins after baseline. The timer will be started when they take their first bite. During the second visit participant will consume the other treatment based on the randomization (the oatmeal that they didn't receive in their first visit and follow exactly the same procedure as the first visit). There will be a minimum of 5 days between sessions. Female participants will be scheduled during the luteal phase of their menstruation cycle. There will be a maximum of 8 weeks between the two sessions, therefore, participants will finish the both sessions within an 8 week period.

What participants receive

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

  • Serving of oatmeal made from low avenanthramides oats and waterOther

    One serving size (40 grams dry weight) of low avenanthramides oats flakes will be used to make oatmeal. One cup of water and a dash of salt (0.72 g) will be added into the treatment and microwaved on high for 3 minutes. It will be stirred before serving. Ingredients and cooking time will be consistently maintained throughout.

  • Serving of oatmeal made from high avenanthramides oats and waterOther

    One serving size (40 grams dry weight) of high avenanthramides oats flakes will be used to make oatmeal. One cup of water and a dash of salt (0.72 g) will be added into the treatment and microwaved on high for 3 minutes. It will be stirred before serving. Ingredients and cooking time will be consistently maintained throughout.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serving of oatmeal made from low avenanthramides oats and water and Serving of oatmeal made from high avenanthramides oats and water in people with Blood Glucose, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 13 Sep 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

post-prandial glucose response (time frame: Area under the curve from 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). 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 13 Sep 2022.
