Beef and Plant Burger Metabolomics Study
NCT05690061 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of meat on inflammatory and metabolite profiles in middle-aged individuals after an acute meal. Up to 36 adults, who are overweight or obese and between 30-60 years old will undergo a consent/screening visit, followed by three study visits. On separate visits to the clinical research facilities at the Center for Human Nutrition Studies, participants will consume either 9 oz (250 grams) of cooked grain-fed beef, grass-fed beef, or a plant-based meat alternative (Impossible Burger). Blood will be drawn prior to food consumption and three more times after eating the meal at 1h, 3h, and 5h after participants finishing their meal. The investigators will use those blood samples to determine the impacts of these foods on inflammatory markers and metabolite profiles (compounds that circulate in our blood such as amino acids, fatty acids, and phenolics).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05690061
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05690061 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 36 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Utah State University, which has 8 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Inflammatory Response appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Grain-Fed Beef Hamburger 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: NCT05690061 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Utah. 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.
