Trial summary

Rationale: Infections are an important worldwide cause of death, both in elderly and young children. Therefore, support of immunity could help to reduce the incidence of infections. To screen the potential of specific foods or food ingredients to support immunity, oral vaccination can serve as a model. Read more about this study

About this study

Rationale: Infections are an important worldwide cause of death, both in elderly and young children. Therefore, support of immunity could help to reduce the incidence of infections. To screen the potential of specific foods or food ingredients to support immunity, oral vaccination can serve as a model. In this study, oral cholera vaccination will be applied in human adult volunteers, and used as a model to study the support of the immune response by raw milk.

Objective: To investigate whether raw milk is able to enhance the immune response as induced by oral cholera vaccination.

Study design: The study is designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial of 4 weeks.

Study population: Healthy subjects of 18-50 years of age.

Intervention: Raw milk, obtained from farms that comply to the high quality requirements for production of raw milk, and that has been screened according to the safety criteria for raw milk.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in cholera toxin-specific IgA and IgG antibody level in nasal wash as a marker of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 18

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in the cholera toxin-specific IgA and IgG antibody level in serum as a marker of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 18

  2. Change in the cholera toxin-specific IgA antibody level in feces as a marker of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 28

  3. Change in the cholera toxin-specific IgA and IgG antibody level in saliva as a marker of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 18

  4. Change in the expression of tissue homing markers on IgA and IgG antibody-secreting B cells in peripheral blood as markers of the route of modulation of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 18

  5. Cholera toxin-specific T cell proliferation as marker of modulation of the vaccination response

    Measured: baseline and day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholera vaccination and Raw milk in people with Infection, run by NIZO Food Research at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 14 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 29 Mar 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Change in cholera toxin-specific IgA and IgG antibody level in nasal wash as a marker of the vaccination response (time frame: baseline and day 18). 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 29 Mar 2017.
