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.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We will be testing 4 cereals that differ in their nutrient composition. The 4 cereal types will deliver 1. high, 2. moderate-high, 3. moderate or 4. low (negative control) levels of dietary fibre. For the study duration participants will follow their habitual dietary pattern with some restrictions to ensure it is low in fibre. This is a parallel study design, with participants randomised to one of four groups. Participants will be asked to consume 100g of the test food daily for an 8 week testing period. At baseline participants will undergo a DXA total body, forearm and lumbar spine scan. Each fortnight participants will attend the clinic for a fasted blood sample and to complete 2 short questionnaires (product consumption checklist and 3 day food diary) and prior to the visit collect a 48 hour urine. At week 8 participants will undergo a dual stable isotope test.
