About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Crossover Study to Assess the Impact of Fruit Juice, Fruit Juice With Pomace, or Whole Fruit on Glycemic Response

The primary aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of a whole orange, orange juice alone, and orange juice with pomace, and a whole apple, apple juice alone, apple juice with pomace on glycemic response. Fruit pomace is a fiber-rich byproduct that is isolated during normal juice production of fruits, such as orange and apple.

Read the detailed description

Study products are matched on total sugar and fiber. Phase I consists of 3 orange study products and Phase II consists of 3 apple study products. Subjects consume one fruit test portion or beverage test portion per visit day with at least a 3 day washout in between.

24 hr diet records are reviewed each test day to verify food and drink consistency and a diet containing at least 150 g of carbohydrate. Subjects arrive fasted (10-14 h, water only), are asked to maintain adequate hydration; and refrain from vigorous physical activity (24 h), alcohol consumption (24 h), and tobacco products (for at least 1 h).

Being tested
Whole oranges, Whole Apples, Orange juice + orange pomace, Apple juice + apple pomace, Orange juice
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for blood glucose

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. iAUC0-120 min for insulin

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  2. Maximum concentration (Cmax) for blood glucose

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  3. Time to maximum concentration (tmax) for blood glucose

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  4. Maximum concentration (Cmax) for insulin

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  5. Time to maximum concentration (tmax) for insulin

    Blood serum

    Measured: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole oranges, Whole Apples and Orange juice + orange pomace in people with Glycemic Response, run by PepsiCo Global R&D at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 17 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 1 May 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Positive incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for blood glucose (time frame: t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption). 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 1 May 2020.
