About this study

Official title: Effect of Tomato Extracted Lycopene on Postprandial Oxidation and inflammation in Healthy

The hypothesis of the study is that tomato extracted lycopene will be able to decrease postprandial oxidation and inflammation in healthy weight men and women when compared to Placebo.

Read the detailed description

Consumption of a high-fat meal results in a postprandial (fed-state) response characterized by hypertriglyceridemia. Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia increases the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and increases blood concentrations of several biomarkers of inflammation. This postprandial lipemia-induced oxidative stress mediated response to a high-fat meal has been suggested as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis along with other chronic disease states of diabetes and obesity. Consumption of foods rich in antioxidant compounds provides a defence source to compliment endogenous defence systems to protect against oxidative damage during pro-oxidant conditions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of postprandial Oxidized LDL(OX-LDL) levels following 2 weeks of supplementation with tomato extracted lycopene

    Following two weeks of supplementation the evaluation will be done at baseline,before the high fat meal and during 6 hours following the meal.

    Measured: Baseline and over 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction of postprandial triglycerides, glucose, insulin and hsCRP levels following 2 weeks of supplementation with tomato extracted lycopene

    Following two weeks of supplementation the evaluation will be done at baseline,before the high fat meal and during 6 hours following the meal.

    Measured: Baseline and over 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tomato extracted lycopene in people with Postprandial Oxidation and inflammation, run by LycoRed Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 8 inclusion and 24 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 22 Dec 2017. 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 Israel. 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.

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?

Reduction of postprandial Oxidized LDL(OX-LDL) levels following 2 weeks of supplementation with tomato extracted lycopene (time frame: Baseline and over 6 hours). 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 22 Dec 2017.
