Trial summary

The objective of the SAFE K study is to demonstrate that in patients treated with the antagonists of vitamin K (VKA), a daily intake of vitamin K2 (75 micrograms/day) as naturally produced by the ferments used in fermented dairy products, does not upset the balance of anticoagulant treatment.Fifty-two patients will be… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of the Effect of Food Vitamin K2 Intake in Association With a Fermented Dairy Product on Patients Treated With Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA)

The objective of the SAFE K study is to demonstrate that in patients treated with the antagonists of vitamin K (VKA), a daily intake of vitamin K2 (75 micrograms/day) as naturally produced by the ferments used in fermented dairy products, does not upset the balance of anticoagulant treatment.Fifty-two patients will be chosen to receive either verum or placebo for four months after a 4-month run-in period.In addition, the study evaluates if regular consumption of vitamin K2 reduce the need of changing the dose of anticoagulation treatment and improve the markers of bone mineralisation.

Read the detailed description

Randomisation of the study subjects will be done by two randomisation lists depending on whether the dose of VKA is high or low. Randomisation will be balanced and stratified depending on the average dose of VKA before the inclusion in order that each arm would have the same number of patients receiving a dose lower than the used anticoagulant treatments.

The level of vitamin K intake will be determined during the study visits using dietary questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vitamin K2 in people with Thrombosis, run by Danisco at 1 site in France.

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 5 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 8 Apr 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

INR (time frame: change from baseline at two months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Apr 2014.
