About this study

Official title: Iron Bioavailability From Fortified Dairy Product in Healthy Women

Determination of fractional iron absorption from dairy product fortified with 2 labelled iron compounds

Read the detailed description

This single center trial will be double-blind, controlled randomized with a crossover trial. One group (n=10) will start the study with the consumption of a Fe-54 salt fortified dairy product, while the other group will start the study with the consumption of Fe-57 salt fortified dairy product. The day after, in a cross over design, subjects will be administered the alternative test product. A blood sampling will be performed 14 days after the last stable isotope administration to allow the measurement of Fe stable isotope ratios and the calculation of Fe absorption. The duration of the trial will be 16 days in total.

The total sample size is 20 enrolled subjects. Patients will be healthy females aged 18-40 years old

Being tested
Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-54 salt (1), Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-57 salt (2)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-54 salt (1)Dietary supplement

    2.5mg of Fe per 100g of product

  • Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-57 salt (2)Dietary supplement

    2.5mg of Fe per 100g of product

Receives: Dietary Supplement: Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-57 salt (2)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in the isotopic ratio of iron in blood at week 2

    The change in the isotopic ratio of iron will be measured after the administration of test meal including iron isotopes

    Measured: 14 days after the last stable isotope administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measurement of plasma ferritin as biomarker of Fe status

    The plasma ferritin will be measured before the administration of test meal including iron isotopes

    Measured: On the 1st day of the stable isotope administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-54 salt (1) and Dairy product fortified with enriched Fe-57 salt (2) in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 17 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 12 Jan 2016. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Change from baseline in the isotopic ratio of iron in blood at week 2 (time frame: 14 days after the last stable isotope administration). 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 12 Jan 2016.
