Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a randomised, cross-over study in lean male participants (Body Mass Index (BMI) 18-25kg/m2). This study is the third of three parts and will investigate the potential bioactive properties of orally administered dairy lipids on satiety, hunger, energy intake and circulating hormones and other factors associated with appetite regulation, as compared with the commercially available lipid emulsion.
Subjects will be requested to fast for 12 hours prior to the test day.

Participants will be randomized to receive each of 6 treatments (200g yoghurt) over the study period. A single treatment will be given on each study day. The treatments will be administered at the Human Nutrition Unit on the morning of the intervention at 08:30am. This study is assessing the response of circulating hormones and other factors associated with appetite regulation including glucose, insulin, lipids including cholesterol, triacylglycerol & free fatty acids (FFA), Cholecystokinin (CCK), leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY). A cannula will be inserted in the participants arm upon arrival to the Human Nutrition Unit on the morning of the intervention (~08:00am). Specifically the trial will measure the participants’ thoughts of hunger and fullness throughout a single day, and measure food intake at an ad libitum buffet style lunch meal given 225 minutes after the treatment as well as the levels of circulating hormones and other factors associated with appetite regulation. Study visits to be separated by a wash-out period of at least 7 days.

Treatments:
The treatments described below are for delivery of a single bolus lipid emulsion ‘shot’ (10g) incorporated into a dairy-yoghurt (190g).
The composition of the 6 shots are:
A. Control lipid + phospholipid emulsion with fatty acid composition matched to Olibra

B. Dairy lipid + phospholipid emulsion with fatty acid composition not matched to Olibra

C. Non-emulsified control lipid + phospholipid with fatty acid composition matched to Olibra

D. Non-emulsified dairy lipid + phospholipid with fatty acid composition not matched to Olibra

E. Dairy lipid + soy lecithin emulsion with fatty acid composition not matched to Olibra

F. OlibraTM emulsion

The composition of the 760 kJ fixed load yoghurt that the shots will be mixed into:
5.7g fat, 28 en% fat
6.5g protein, 14 en% protein
27.4g Carbohydrate (CHO), 58 en% CHO


Participants will be randomized to receive all 6 beverages detailed above over 6 study days. The treatments are matched for weight (200g) and macronutrient composition. Treatments A, C and F will have similar fatty acid composition (matched to that of Olibra – the commercially available lipid emulsion). Treatments B, D and E containing the dairy lipid will have a different fatty acid composition to treatments A, C and F. There must be at least 7 days between study visits in this study. Participants are free to choose which days they come in to the unit so the study duration will be from 6 weeks to a few months.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 252946 0
Energy Intake at ad libitum lunch meal. Lunch items will be weighed by research staff pre- and post-meal, and energy, fat, CHO and protein intake calculated using the dietary program Foodworks.
Timepoint [1] 252946 0
Timepoint: 270 minutes post-treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 257675 0
Secondary Outcome 1: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for hunger and fullness.
Timepoint [1] 257675 0
Time points: t= -15, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 270, 330 and 390 mins. These time points are set assuming t=0 is the time the treatment is administered. Therefore any negative time points refer to a VAS measurement taken that many minutes before the treatment. Positive time points are for VAS measurements at that number of minutes post-treatment.
Secondary outcome [2] 257676 0
Secondary Outcome 2: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for thoughts of food and satisfaction.
Timepoint [2] 257676 0
Time points: t= -15, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 270, 330 and 390 mins. These time points are set assuming t=0 is the time the treatment is administered. Therefore any negative time points refer to a VAS measurement taken that many minutes before the treatment. Positive time points are for VAS measurements at that number of minutes post-treatment.
Secondary outcome [3] 257677 0
Secondary Outcome 3: Blood analyses.
Response of circulating hormones and other factors associated with appetite regulation including glucose, insulin, lipids including cholesterol, triacylglycerol & FFA's, CCK, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, GLP-1 and PYY.
Timepoint [3] 257677 0
Time points: t= -15, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 270, 330 and 390 mins. Blood samples will drawn immediately after completion of the VAS at each timepoint. These time points are set assuming t=0 is the time the treatment is administered. Therefore any negative time points refer to a blood sample taken that many minutes before the treatment. Positive time points are for blood samples taken at that number of minutes post-treatment.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
This is a randomised, cross-over trial. Randomisation is carried out using a Latin square design, whereby the next patient registered is allocated to the sequential randomisation code. The Latin square will be drawn prior to recruitment & as each participant is registered they will be assigned the next available registration number. The registration number is linked the Latin square & hence the order which each participant will recieve the 6 treatments.
Participants will be unaware of the order of which treatment they will be given at each visit.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A Latin square will be used to randomise the subjects into 6 treatments in this study. As this is a cross-over trial, each participant will complete all intervention arms in each study.
