About this study

Official title: Metabolic, Vascular and Cognitive Effects of Treatment With Anthocyanins in Older Adults at Risk for Adverse Outcomes - a Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will affect lipid profile, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in addition to antioxidative level in serum to the better in persons with increased risk of dementia.

The purpose of this study is to examine weather treatment with anthocyanins will increase the score of relevant tests of cognitive function.

The investigators will do an open pilot study where patients receive anthocyanin for 16 weeks. 34 patients are expected to be included.

In addition we will include 20 healthy Controls.

Read the detailed description

Design, method and material:

The investigators will first do an open pilot study where 30 people will receive anthocyanins for 16 weeks.

The investigators aim to recruit persons with increased risk of cognitive reduction: persons over 50 years with stable coronary heart disease (CAD) from the cardiology department Stavanger University Hospital. In addition will persons with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia be included from the memory outpatient clinic, Stavanger University Hospital.

Blood will be taken by venepuncture by an experienced nurse, centrifuged and handled in according to standardized procedures.

The patients will be tested in relevant tests of cognitive function at inclusion and after 16 weeks. At inclusion the patients will be tested in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Geriatric depression scale (GDS) to make sure that the patients meet the inclusion criteria. At inclusion and after 16 weeks the patients will be tested in Word List Memory Word List Recall Word List Recognition, Trail Making Test A + B and Stroop Word and Colour test.

From the healthy controls blood will be taken at inclusion and study end.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anthocyanin in people with Coronary Disease and Inflammation, run by Helse Stavanger HF at 1 site in Norway.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2019. 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 Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Inflammation as measured by cytokines in blood (time frame: 16 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02409446, 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 18 Feb 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
