Trial summary

Nutrasorb is a newly developed food product (see www.nutrasorb.com). This study will use the Nutrasorb soy protein product that is matrixed with polyphenols from blueberries and green tea extract, and test for efficacy as a nutritional countermeasure to exercise-induced physiologic stress (i.e., immune dysfunction… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of a Polyphenol-enriched Protein Powder on Exercise-induced Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Athletes: a Metabolomics Approach

Nutrasorb is a newly developed food product (see www.nutrasorb.com). This study will use the Nutrasorb soy protein product that is matrixed with polyphenols from blueberries and green tea extract, and test for efficacy as a nutritional countermeasure to exercise-induced physiologic stress (i.e., immune dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress) using both traditional and metabolomics-based outcome measures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolomics; change in metabolites over time

    GC-MS and LC-MS through Metabolon

    Measured: 18-day period; Blood samples collected pre- and post-14 d supplementation, and immediately and 14 h after the third day of running

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in inflammation

    CRP and a cytokine panel

    Measured: 18-day period; Blood samples collected pre- and post-14 d supplementation, and immediately and 14 h after the third day of running

  2. Change in oxidative stress

    F2-isoprostanes, protein carbonyls, FRAP, ORAC

    Measured: 18-day period; Blood samples collected pre- and post-14 d supplementation, and immediately and 14 h after the third day of running

  3. Change in immune function

    Anti-viral activity using virus-infected HeLa cells

    Measured: 18-day period; Blood samples collected pre- and post-14 d supplementation, and immediately and 14 h after the third day of running

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nutrasorb in people with Exercise-induced Inflammation and Exercise-induced Oxidative Stress, run by Appalachian State University at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 25 Jan 2013. 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 United States. 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?

Metabolomics; change in metabolites over time (time frame: 18-day period; Blood samples collected pre- and post-14 d supplementation, and immediately and 14 h after the third day of running). 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 NCT01775384, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jan 2013.
