Trial summary

Coffee and green tea are 2 widely consumed beverages. Both contain polyphenol antioxidant compounds (chlorogenic acids for coffee and catechins for tea). The bioavailability of catechins is somewhat known and has been referenced in the literature. Read more about this study

About this study

Coffee and green tea are 2 widely consumed beverages. Both contain polyphenol antioxidant compounds (chlorogenic acids for coffee and catechins for tea). The bioavailability of catechins is somewhat known and has been referenced in the literature. However, bioavailability data from tea infusion is non-existent, even though it reflects better how consumers drink this beverage. In addition, bioavailability of coffee chlorogenic acids is less understood and no dose response study has been reported so far in the literature. Thus, there is a great need to understand and reinforce our knowledge on the bioavailability of coffee and tea polyphenol compounds.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Compare plasma Area under the curve (AUC) of highest and lowest dose of coffee for chlorogenic and phenolic acid metabolites

    Measured: Measurements done over 24h after ingestion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Compare Area under the curve (AUC), Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), Time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) and half-life (T1/2) of all three doses of coffee for chlorogenic and phenolic acid metabolites

    Measured: Measurements done over 12h after ingestion

  2. Compare AUC, Cmax, Tmax and T1/2 of all three doses of green tea for catechin metabolites

    Measured: Measurements done over 12h after ingestion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Green tea and Coffee in people with Healthy, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare plasma Area under the curve (AUC) of highest and lowest dose of coffee for chlorogenic and phenolic acid metabolites (time frame: Measurements done over 24h after ingestion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2014.
