About this study

Official title: Acute Effect of Plantago Asiatica L. Extract on Antioxidative Biomarkers in Subjects With Mild Hyperlipidemia: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant effect of Plantago asiatica L. extract in subjects with mild hyperlipidemia.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an acute effect of Plantago asiatica L. extract consumption on antioxidative biomarkers in subjects with mild hyperlipidemia. Subjects will intake Plantago asiatica L. extract with a high fat meal for oxidative stress loading. Antioxidative biomarkers will be measured after single-dose administration of Plantago asiatica L. extract.

Being tested
Plantago asiatica L. extract 5g, Plantago asiatica L. extract 10g, Plantago asiatica L. extract 20g, Placebo

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 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

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?

Comet assay after single-dose consumption of Plantago asiatica L. extract (time frame: measured 5 times over 6 hours(0, 60, 120, 240, 360 minutes)). 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 NCT01278589, 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?
