About this study

Official title: Impact of Low Fat Milk Intake on Cardiovascular Risk Indicators in Children 6-13 Years of Age

Substituting whole milk intake for defatted milk will improve indicators of cardiovascular risk, i.e. total cholesterol, triglycerides, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)cholesterol, apolipoproteins: ApoB100, Lp(a) and ApoA in a sample of Mexican children 6-13 years of age.

Read the detailed description

Double blind trial in 600 children 6-13 years of age residing in 12 boarding schools. Schools will be randomized to distribute three types of milk namely: full fat milk (3% fat), partially defatted milk (2% fat) or defatted milk (1% fat) for 90 days of effective exposure (4 months total duration). Subjects will receive 400 mL of the corresponding milk every day (200 mL breakfast and 200 mL night meal) from Monday through Friday. During week ends they will eat a freely chosen diet at home. Milk intake will be measured every day. Diet by 24 h-recall. will be evaluated every month. Blood samples will be obtained at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.

Being tested
Modification of the content of fat in milk, Modification of the content of cows milk, Modification of the fat content of cows´ milk
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiovascular risk indicators

    Cardiovascular risk is indicated by several determinations of blood fats namely: Total cholesterol, triglicerides, Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, lipoproteins: Apo a1,Apo B100 and Lp(a)

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Modification of the content of fat in milk, Modification of the content of cows milk and Modification of the fat content of cows´ milk in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica, Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jun 2011. 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 Mexico. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Cardiovascular risk indicators (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01178515, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 27 Jun 2011.
