Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Meal 4Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
A liquid meal, similar to a "smoothie", that is high (60% of energy) in fat calories.
Group II: Meal 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Meal consisting of conventional foods that is high (60% of energy) in fat calories.
Group III: Meal 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Meal consisting of conventional foods that is moderate (40% of energy) in fat calories.
Group IV: Meal 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Meal consisting of conventional foods that is low (20% of energy) in fat calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the aggregate quantity of participants in this research endeavor?

"Affirmative, the clinical trial is in progress and looking to recruit 40 participants at one site. The information was posted on April 18th 2019 and last modified August 8th 2022, according to clinicaltrials.gov."

Answered by AI

What types of participants are best suited for this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial is seeking 40 people with a Body Mass Index between 18.5 - 39.9 kg/m2, aged 18 up to 65 years old who are considered overweight by standard BMI measurements."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies available in this research endeavor?

"Clinicaltrials.gov divulges that this medical experiment is garnering new participants, having been uploaded to the website on April 18th 2019 and last revised on August 8th 2022."

Answered by AI

What aims is this medical experiment hoping to accomplish?

"This trial will assess two primary outcomes: oxygen consumption relative to baseline levels and changes in lean body mass, measured using multi frequency bioimpedance. Secondary objectives include self-reported satiety on a visual analogue scale from 0 (not at all) to 100 (extremely), as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings taken with automated instruments over 600 minutes post-mealtime."
