About this study

Official title: A Randomized Placebo-controlled Cross-over Design Study Investigating the Effects of a Plant Polyphenol Blend on the Intestinal Inflammatory and Metabolic Responses to a High Fat Meal in Healthy Subjects

This study will investigate the beneficial effects of supplementation with a plant polyphenol blend rich in anthocyanins on parameters of inflammation and metabolic responses following a challenge with a high-fat (HF) meal.

The investigators will use a randomized crossover study to investigate the effects of: 1) placebo (control); 2) plant polyphenol blend rich in anthocyanins; on systemic inflammatory markers (endotoxemia, cytokines, NF-κB), glucose and lipid metabolic responses following consumption of a high-fat (HF) meal in healthy subjects. The high-fat meal (320 g) consists of English muffin bread, sausage, egg and cheese, obtained from US market and completed with palm fat. The total energy content of the high-fat meal is 1,026 Kcal with 70.5 g of fat (29.8 g of saturated fat), 270 mg of cholesterol, 65 g carbohydrate, 5.2 g sugar, and 33 g protein with a total of 62% energy originated from fat, 25% from carbohydrates and 13% from protein. The high-fat meal will be standard and it will not be adjusted for large and small participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plant polyphenol blend in people with Anthocyanins, run by Pharmanex at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 23 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 20 Apr 2018. 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 United States. 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 from baseline in plasma endotoxin at 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, and 5hrs post high-fat meal consumption (time frame: Baseline, 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 2hrs, 3hrs, and 5hrs post high-fat meal consumption). 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 20 Apr 2018.
