Efficacy of Dietary Fiber Supplementation (Soloways) in Patients With Specific Genetic Polymorphisms

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT06188832
• Lead Sponsor: S.LAB (SOLOWAYS)

Brief Summary

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the impact of a dietary fiber supplement (glucomannan, inulin, and psyllium) on weight and metabolic parameters in individuals with obesity-related genetic polymorphisms (FTO, MC4R, LEP, LEPR). Participants were adults aged 18-65 with a BMI ≥ 25 and confirmed genetic predispositions. The study, involving 216 participants (108 per group), ran over 12 weeks with assessments at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Primary outcome was Body-weight change in %. The study aimed to clarify the role of fiber supplements in genetically predisposed obese individuals.
