About this study

Official title: An Open Label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Spanish Black Radish on the Induction of Phase I and Phase II Enzymes in Healthy Male Subjects

This study will investigate the effect of Spanish Black Radish on phase I and phase II enzyme activity in healthy adult males. The primary objective is to determine the effect on phase I and phase II enzyme activity by measuring plasma and urine acetaminophen metabolite concentrations prior to and after a 28 day supplementation period with Spanish black radish product.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect on Phase I and II enzymes

    The effect on phase I and phase II enzyme activity determined by measuring plasma and urine acetaminophen metabolite concentrations Subjects will ingest 1000 mg of acetaminophen. Blood will be collected at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after acetaminophen dosage for the analysis of plasma acetaminophen metabolites. These measurements will be performed prior to and after 4 weeks of treatment with Spanish Black Radish product.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of Hormone Levels

    Assessment of serum total testosterone, free testosterone and estradiol 17 beta

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Spanish Black Radish product in people with Healthy, run by KGK Science Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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 14 May 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Effect on Phase I and II enzymes (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT02137590, 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 14 May 2014.
