About this study

This acute-on-chronic study will examine the effectiveness of CP9700 for improving cognitive performance and mood in healthy young adults. CP9700 is a mix of highly purified grape seed-derived polyphenolic extracts from Vitis vinifera produced by Polyphenolics Inc. (Madera, CA, USA). The polyphenolic component of the product is comprised entirely of catechin and epicatechin, derivatives of catechin and epicatechin (e.g.,epicatechin gallate), and proanthocyanidins. We will perform a randomised, double-blind, parallel-groups human intervention trial using CP9700 and a well characterised sugar-matched placebo to investigate changes in cognitive performance.

Read the detailed description

Interventions: Two interventions will be tested, CP9700 (400 mg) and a placebo. Importantly, the placebo will be matched to the active treatment for sugars and vitamin C levels. All interventions will be supplied in blister packs.

Participants: A total of 60 healthy, young adult participants will be recruited for these studies. Based upon the medium effect size (d = .65) observed in previous work using healthy adults and the Go/No go task, we calculate that a sample of 25 participants/treatment will provide considerable power (.70) to detect a similar sized effect in this study. The recruitment procedure allows for a 15% drop out rate. Participants will be recruited directly from the School of Psychology \& Clinical Language Sciences Undergraduate Research Panel.

Procedure: Following recruitment to the study, participants will start a two-week 'run-in' phase. During this phase, all participants will complete a 3-day food frequency questionnaire to give a measure of their habitual diet before being asked to adhere to a low-flavonoid diet, we will collect a 3-day food diary to check compliance and they will attend the laboratory for an initial 'practice' session of the cognitive tasks (see below). On the evening before the 'active treatment' phase commences, participants will be asked to consume a standard meal- this procedure will be repeated for each evening meal consumed prior to a test day. On the acute test day, participants will attend the laboratory in a fasted state where they will receive a standard low-flavanoid breakfast, followed by a battery of cognitive and mood tasks (see below). Subjects will then be given their intervention, and will be re-tested on our task battery at two-hourly intervals over a 6 hour period before being allowed to return home. During the chronic phase of the study, after 6 and 12 weeks of consuming the intervention, subjects will return to the lab in a fasted state (prior to taking their daily intervention), will be given a standard low flavonoid breakfast, and will be tested on the task battery before consuming their allocated intervention. Compliance will be assured through collection of used blister packs.

The task battery is composed of cognitive tests and measures of mood, which our previous data show to be sensitive to flavonoid interventions, both acutely and chronically. More generally, the cognitive tests are categorised into one of two key cognitive domains; (i) Executive Function (i.e., Serial Sevens, Stroop, Modified Attention Network Test) and (ii) Episodic Memory (i.e., immediate and delayed auditory recall, verbal recognition, immediate and delayed spatial memory). Moreover, our previous data indicates increased cerebral blood flow in the in the acute postprandial phase 2-5 hours following flavonoid consumption in brain regions required for executive function and episodic memory including the frontal cortex and frontal gyrus. In addition, changes in mood will be measured using the PANAS, which has previously been shown to be sensitive to flavonoid interventions acutely and chronically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CP9700 in people with Cognitive Function and Mood, run by University of Reading at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 Aug 2020. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Cognitive Performance - Episodic Memory (time frame: 2 hrs following acute intervention.). The study lists 25 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 NCT03526406, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Aug 2020.
