About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Chinese Tea-flavor Liquor

Human studies of Chinese liquor are sparse. The investigators hypothesize that short-term Chinese Tea-flavor liquor (TFL) consumption may be beneficial to inflammation biomarkers and CVD risk factors. Guizhou Meijiao Liquor (GML) is a traditional Chinese liquor, fermented from sorghum, corn, sticky rice, wheat and rice, while TFL is a novel Chinese liquor fermented from above 5 grains plus green tea.

Forty-five volunteers(23 males, 22 females) were selected to participate a paralleled randomized trial drinking 30 mL two kinds of Chinese liquors: TFL and GML respectively with meal every day for 28 days. Serums of volunteers were collected for analyzing serum lipids, inflammation biomarkers and CVD risk factors.

TFL could significantly decrease systolic blood pressure of males, but increase diastolic blood pressure of females. TFL could also decreased blood lipid of volunteers, especially for females. Both liquor significantly decrease serum uric acid and glucose in males and females. The effect of the two liquors on inflammation biomarkers were complicated and needs further research work.

TFL may possess more beneficial effect on CVD risk factors than GML probably because of the special fermentation products of green tea with other grains.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tea-flavor Liquor and Guizhou Meijiao Liquor in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 14 Feb 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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.

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 14 Feb 2011.
