Cardiometabolic Benefits of Potatoes Mediated Along the Gut-Vessel Axis in Adults With Metabolic Syndrome
NCT03624569 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is focused on assessing potential health benefits of daily consumption of potatoes, specifically its resistant starch content (i.e. nondigestible carbohydrate), on blood vessel and gut health function in adults with metabolic syndrome. It is expected that the daily consumption of potatoes for two weeks, within a diet that follows the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, will improve blood vessel function in association with decreasing gut permeability ("leaky gut") that results in the absorption of bacterial toxins that reside in the intestine. Outcomes will therefore support dietary recommendations for potatoes to support vascular and gastrointestinal health.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03624569
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03624569 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 32 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Ohio State University, which has 640 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 5 conditions, with Cardiovascular Diseases appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Bagel is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03624569 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
