About this study

Official title: Effect of a Low Fat Milk Product on Serum Lipids Profile in Chinese Primary Dyslipidemia Subjects

The aim of LipiDown (Hawthorn + Phytosterol) clinical trial is to test the blood lipids reduction effect of plant sterols and hawthorn in milk powder in a pilot human trial: demonstrate potential to reduce total blood cholesterol more than 10% and/or total triglycerides more than 15%, as required by State food and drug administration (SFDA) regulation.

Read the detailed description

The proposed clinical trial is a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel, multicenter study with three treatment groups.

The total number of 75 subjects should be enrolled to provide for a 20% dropout rate.

Subjects will be randomized into one of the following 3 groups:

  • milk without sterols and hawthorn powder
  • milk with 1.2g/d sterols and 8g/d hawthorn powder
  • milk with 1.8g/d sterols and 8g/d hawthorn powder

The trial population will consist of female or male volunteers aged 18 - 65 years of age with primary mild to moderate hyperlipidemia documented by a serum cholesterol of 5.18-6.21mmol/L AND serum Triglycerides (TG): 1.7-5.65mmol/L , for at least 1 time tested by central laboratory in the past 2 weeks prior to recruitment.

Being tested
sterols and hawthorn powder

What is being measured

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

  1. serum concentration of Total Cholesterol (TC),

    Measured: after 7 weeks of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. other lipid and lipoprotein parameters in serum samples that could reveal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk etc.

    other lipid and lipoprotein parameters in serum samples

    Measured: at 4 and 7 weeks of treatment

  2. biomarkers of lipid oxidation and inflammation

    biomarkers of lipid oxidation and inflammation associated with atherogenesis in serum samples

    Measured: after 7 weeks of treatment

  3. phytosterol metabolism parameters

    phytosterol metabolism parameters in fecal samples

    Measured: after 7 weeks of treatment

  4. predictive marker for cardiovascular disease

    assess predictive marker for cardiovascular disease by non-invasive vascular screening device

    Measured: after 7 weeks of treatment

  5. safety parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sterols and hawthorn powder in people with Primary Dyslipidemia, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 3 sites in China.

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 4 inclusion and 15 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 13 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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?

serum concentration of Total Cholesterol (TC), (time frame: after 7 weeks of treatment.). 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 13 Nov 2015.
