What is being measured

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

  1. Percentual change in serum LDL-cholesterol

    Percentual change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum LDL-cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Absolute change in serum LDL-cholesterol

    Absolute change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum LDL-cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups, mmol/l

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentual change in serum total cholesterol

    Percentual change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum total cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Absolute change in serum total cholesterol

    Absolute change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum total cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups, mmol/l

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Percentual change in serum non-HDL cholesterol

    Percentual change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum nonHDL cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Absolute change in serum non-HDL cholesterol

    Absolute change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum nonHDL cholesterol between experimental and placebo groups, mmol/l

    Measured: 4 weeks

  5. Percentual change in serum triglycerides

    Percentual change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum triglycerides between experimental and placebo groups

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Absolute change in serum triglycerides

    Absolute change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum triglycerides between experimental and placebo groups, mmol/l

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1.6 g plant stanols, 2 g plant stanols and 1.6 g plant stanols and camelina oil in people with Hypercholesterolemia and Hyperlipidemias, run by Raisio Group.

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 11 Dec 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.

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?

Percentual change in serum LDL-cholesterol (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 2 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 NCT02628990, 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 11 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
