About this study

Official title: Optimising Vegetable Based Convenience Food Production to Retain Compounds Found in Vegetables

The purpose of this study is to establish to what extent innovations in food production techniques may facilitate retention of bioactive compounds in healthy individuals.

The study has a single-blinded (outcome assessor), cross-over design; wherein, the plasma concentration and urinary excretion levels of a range of bioactive compounds will be assessed over a 24 hour period following intake of either a vegetable based convenience food, or a minimally processed meal containing the same vegetable materials.

To do this, 20 healthy volunteers will attend two assessment days (and a follow-up assessment at +24hr) and will provide blood and urine samples, which will be collected at biologically relevant times over the 24 hour period. In this cross-over study, each meal will be eaten on separate days, with a wash-out period of at least 1 week between assessments.

Vegetable-based convenience foodExperimentalOne time ingestion of a vegetable-based convenience product. Dietary restrictions will be observed (i.e. avoidance of some vegetables) for 3 days prior to the bioavailability assessment (a list of foods to avoid will be provided). At least 7 days wash-out between each assessment visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. 24hr excretion of bioactive compounds

    A range of bioactive compounds found in vegetables, and their metabolites, will be assessed in blood and/or urine samples collected over a 24 hour period.

    Measured: 24h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vegetable-based convenience food and Vegetable meal in people with Bioavailability, run by University of East Anglia at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

24hr excretion of bioactive compounds (time frame: 24h). 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 11 Nov 2014.
