Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Participants will be randomized to receive either sweet or non-sweet breakfasts for three consecutive weeks, and impacts on food preferences and intakes will be assessed at baseline (day 0), after 1 week (day 7), and after three weeks (day 21). Preferences for sweet and non-sweet foods will be assessed during two taste tests at each assessment time, where six different foods will be rated. Sweet and non-sweet food consumption will also be measured at two meals at each assessment time - breakfast and lunch. Identical buffet meals composed of sweet and non-sweet foods suitable for consumption at breakfast and lunch will be provided ad-libitum. Intervention breakfasts will only be consumed on the days between test days.

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.

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

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.
Experimental: Sweet food consumption
Sweet breakfasts. Participants are asked to consume a sweet breakfast every day for three weeks (excepting on three days when outcomes will be assessed (days 0, 7 and 21, day 21 reported). All foods will be provided.
Behavioral: Sweet food consumption
Sweet food consumption at breakfast
Active Comparator: Non-sweet food consumption
Non-sweet breakfasts. Participants are asked to consume a non-sweet breakfast every day for three weeks (excepting on three days when outcomes will be assessed (days 0, 7 and 21, day 21 reported). All foods will be provided.
Behavioral: Non-sweet food consumption
Non-sweet food consumption at breakfast

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
Food Preferences
Time Frame: 3 weeks from baseline
Ratings of three sweet and three non-sweet foods during a taste test at breakfast. Ratings measured using 100mm VAS scales for different hedonic factors - pleasure, sweetness, desire to eat). Scores range from 0-100 where 0=least and 100=greatest for each hedonic factor. Assessments made on Day 0, 7 and 21, Day 21 reported.
3 weeks from baseline
Food Intake
Time Frame: 3 weeks from baseline
Amount of sweet and non-sweet foods consumed during breakfast on test days (days 0, 7 and 21, day 21 reported)
3 weeks from baseline

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
Hunger Ratings
Time Frame: 3 weeks from baseline
Ratings of subjective perceptions (two meals). Ratings measured using 100mm VAS scales for different subjective factors - hunger, thirst, fullness. Scores range from 0-100 where 0=least and 100=greatest for each subjective factor. Assessments made on Day 0, 7 and 21, Day 21 reported.
3 weeks from baseline
Food Preferences at Lunch
Time Frame: 3 weeks from baseline
Ratings of three sweet and three non-sweet foods during a taste test at lunch. Measures are the same as those used at breakfast. Ratings measured using 100mm VAS scales for different hedonic factors - pleasure, sweetness, desire to eat). Scores range from 0-100 where 0=least and 100=greatest for each hedonic factor. Assessments made on Day 0, 7 and 21, Day 21 reported.
3 weeks from baseline
Food Intake at Lunch
Time Frame: 3 weeks from baseline
Amount of sweet and non-sweet foods consumed during lunch on test days (days 0, 7 and 21, day 21 reported).

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
