The Effect of Oat Based Breakfast Cereals on Satiety and Food Intake

December 17, 2015 updated by: Frank Greenway, Pennington Biomedical Research Center

The Effect of Oat Based Breakfast Cereals on Satiety and Food Intake.

This study is to determine if two breakfasts of equivalent calories, an oat based breakfast cereal or a ready-to-eat cereal, provide the same satiety benefits. The study will also determine if the two calorically equivalent oat-based breakfast cereals give different caloric intakes at a lunch meal that participants will eat to their satisfaction.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The Second trial (Period 2): An additional 48 healthy men and women 18 years of age or older will be enrolled to investigate the satiety and food intake at lunch after a breakfast consisting of one of two randomly assigned oat-based cereals and milk breakfast. Visual analogue scales of hunger and satiety will be completed before breakfast and at, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following consumption. Subjects will be asked to eat Lunch until satisfied. The subjects will have the two breakfasts in a balanced and random order and the two meal tests will be separated by at least a week.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Test cereal 1, Oat-based
The purpose of this arm is to determine if a breakfast containing 250 kcal of Oat based cereal will cause people to eat less at lunch.
Other: Test cereal 1, Oat-based
The study design is a lunch that will be presented 4 hours after the start of breakfast. Subjects will be asked to eat until satisfied and food intake will will be measured. The effect on hunger and satiety will be measured using visual analog scales before breakfast and at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following consumption.
Other: Test Cereal 2, Oat based
The study design is a two visit trial with each subject randomly receiving one of the cereals at each visit separated by at least a week. A lunch will be presented 4 hours after the start of breakfast. Subjects will be asked to eat until satisfied and food intake will be measured. The effect on hunger and satiety will be measured using visual analog scales before breakfast and at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following consumption.

The purpose of this arm is to determine if a breakfast containing 250 kcal of Oat based ready-to-eat cereal will cause people to eat less at lunch.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Satiety Impact
Time Frame: Baseline to 2 days
Breakfast containing 250 kcal of Oat-based breakfast cereal will cause people to eat less at lunch compared to a breakfast containing 250 kcal of the ready-to-eat oat-based breakfast cereal. Area under the curve (AUC) of appetite and satiety.
Baseline to 2 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Impact on food intake at lunch
Time Frame: Baseline to 2 days

You will fill out a visual analog scales at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following the start of the breakfast meal each day.

Four hours after the start of breakfast, you will be presented with a lunch and will be asked to eat to your satisfaction over 20 minutes. You will be asked how you are feeling periodically throughout the test. Area under the curve for subjective energy measures
Baseline to 2 days
