About this study

Official title: A New Strategy to Analyze Gene-Nutrient Interaction in Children and Adolescents

The purpose of this trial is to better define how individuals with different genetic make-ups will require different interventions to improve their methylation potential and nutrient status.

Read the detailed description

Despite the increasing incidence of overweight and obesity among children, nutritional deficiencies are still a concern.

A low intake of vitamins and minerals is associated with a reduction in the antioxidant capacity. Some vitamins are associated with chronic diseases including overweight and obesity.

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) are the substrate and product of essential reactions; the SAM:SAH ratio has been associated with health and is an indicator of cellular DNA methylation potential.

Low level of this ratio may affect short and long term health. In this explorative knowledge building open interventional study, subject to be enrolled are children or adolescents 9 to 13 years of age per year (n=180 per year, over 2 years). The study consists of 6 weeks nutritional intervention followed by a 6 weeks follow up.

In this study, genomics, proteomics, lipidomics analysis will be performed, in addition to biochemistry, hematology and vitamins analysis.

micronutrient supplementationExperimentalAll the enrolled subjects will recieve orally, onca a day, during school days a chocolate bar including vitamins and minerals. The micronitrient supplementation will be consumed over 6 weeks, 5 days/week.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: micronutrient supplementation

What is being measured

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

  1. SAM/SAH ratio

    Change from baseline in the correlation between the SAM/SAH ratio in erythrocytes, dietary intakes and, polymorphisms in genes associated with micronutrients

    Measured: baseline and after 6 weeks of product intake

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. SNP arrays, proteomics, metabolomics, micronutrient levels

    Composite secondary outome: extensive "omic" analysis and correlation of the data over the 3 timepoints

    Measured: baseline, after 6 weeks of product intake and after 6 weeks of follow up

  2. SAM/SAH ratio

    Change between 6 weeks after product intake and 6 weeks of follow up in the correlation between the SAM/SAH ratio in erythrocytes, dietary intakes and, polymorphisms in genes associated with micronutrients

    Measured: after 6 weeks product intake and after 6 weeks of follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing micronutrient supplementation in people with Genomic, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 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 5 Aug 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 Brazil. 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. 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?

SAM/SAH ratio (time frame: baseline and after 6 weeks of product intake). 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 5 Aug 2014.
