Circadian Meal Timing Effect on Postprandial Glucose
Summary
The NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registry added a randomized crossover study (NCT07545330) investigating the effect of circadian timing of a standardized meal on postprandial glucose response in healthy adults. The study will compare morning versus evening meal consumption, assessing glucose via incremental area under the curve (iAUC) over 120 minutes. Participants are healthy adults enrolled in a crossover design allowing each subject to serve as their own control.

About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
The NIH registered a new clinical trial on ClinicalTrials.gov studying how meal timing (morning versus evening) affects postprandial glucose levels in healthy adults. The study uses a randomized crossover design where participants will consume a standardized test meal at different times of day, with glucose measured via incremental area under the curve (iAUC) over 120 minutes. This is a registry entry for an observational/interventional clinical study and does not create regulatory obligations for external parties.
Healthcare providers and clinical researchers involved in metabolic, nutritional, or circadian-rhythm research may find this trial relevant to ongoing work in these areas. The study registration provides protocol details without imposing compliance requirements on other entities.

Effect of Circadian Timing of a Standardized Meal on Postprandial Glucose Response in Healthy Adults
N/A NCT07545330 Kind: NA Apr 22, 2026
Abstract
This randomized crossover study aims to investigate the effect of circadian timing of a standardized meal (morning versus evening consumption) on postprandial glucose response in healthy adults. Postprandial glucose will be assessed using the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) over 120 minutes.
Conditions: Meal Timing, Postprandial Glucose, Glycemic Response to Feeding in Healthy Participants
