Trial summary

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages. It contains polyphenols (chlorogenic acids) and bioavailability of these bioactive compounds is now somewhat well understood. In addition, chlorogenic acids are known to be antioxidants in the cup, but reliable evidence remains to be observed in vivo. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Coffee and Oxidative Stress During Exercise in Healthy Humans

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages. It contains polyphenols (chlorogenic acids) and bioavailability of these bioactive compounds is now somewhat well understood. In addition, chlorogenic acids are known to be antioxidants in the cup, but reliable evidence remains to be observed in vivo. The objective of this trial is to understand if regular (14d) coffee intake may be beneficial on biomarkers of oxidative damage measured in urine and plasma after an acute stress caused by exercise.

Read the detailed description

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages. It contains polyphenols (chlorogenic acids) and bioavailability of these bioactive compounds is now somewhat well understood. However, even if chlorogenic acids are known to be antioxidants in the cup, reliable evidence remains to be observed in vivo.

After medical examination and approval, subjects will undergo 2 periods of 21 days. The first 7 days will consist of a dietary restriction to lower the polyphenols intake. Then subjects will drink at random one of the three treatments for 14 days (4 cups/day). Blood and urine samples will be collected throughout the study to evaluate in vivo effects on oxidative biomarkers. Furthermore, at day 21, subjects will undergo a physical regimen to increase acutely and transiently their oxidative damage. Blood and urine samples collected throughout this challenge will allow us to evaluate the effect of coffee intake in reducing oxidative damage created by exercise compared to placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. oxidative stress

    Oxidative stress will be assessed though urine beta-isoprostane measurements

    Measured: Change in oxidative stress from baseline to the last day of a 14-day period of product intake

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bioavailability of coffee antioxidative compounds

    Measures of phenolic and chlorogenic acids in urine

    Measured: Change in urine phenolic and chlorogenic acids from baseline to the last day of a 14-day period of product intake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coffee in people with Healthy, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 21 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 21 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 Switzerland. 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?

oxidative stress (time frame: Change in oxidative stress from baseline to the last day of a 14-day period 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 21 Apr 2014.
