About this study

Official title: Effect of Annona Muricata Leaves on Nutritional Status, Quality of Life, Fecal Butyrate, Inflammation, and Colorectal Cancer Cells

Annona muricata L., include the leaves, is found to contain biologically active Annonaceous acetogenins and plant polyphenols that are important components of human diet and a number of them are considered to have chemopreventive and therapeutic properties against cancer.

To confirm previous findings in in vitro, animal study and traditionally use, a human, ex vivo and in vitro studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of consecutive ingestion of A. muricata leaves extract for eight weeks.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive either A. muricata leaves extract or placebo. Dietary intakes and anthropometry were assessed with food record every two weeks. Blood parameters, nutritional status, quality of life, fecal butyrate level, and systemic inflammation of patient were assessed at the beginning and the end of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Annona muricata extract in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Universitas Indonesia.

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 6 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 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Nutritional Status (time frame: eight weeks). 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 14 May 2015.
