About this study

Official title: Acute Assessment of Platelet Reactivity After the Intake of Oleocanthal From Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the Fasted and Fed Condition

The investigators have previously observed a reduced level of platelet aggregation 2 hours after healthy male individuals were asked to drink extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that provided a higher level of one specific phenolic known as oleocanthal. This study will help the investigators further determine the effects of oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on platelet function at 2, 4 and 6 hours after intake with food compared to platelet function in the morning after an overnight fast.

Read the detailed description

Fifty adult male volunteers will be asked to participate in one of two study trials that will be randomized double-blind controlled crossover trials with 2 study visits. The participants will arrive to the facility after an overnight fast, and will be asked to consume their assigned EVOO either without (trial 1) or with (trial 2) a standardized low-phenolic food (such as rice, pasta or mashed potatoes) with 40 mL of one of 2 EVOOs that are matched for their total phenolic content, but with one oil containing oleocanthal, and one with very low levels of oleocanthal. At zero, two, 4 and 6 hours after EVOO intake a blood sample will be collected for the assessment of collagen- ADP-, and AA-induced platelet aggregation, as well as an untargeted metabolomics profile.

As an assessment of phenotypic stability, a subset of individuals (n=5 per trial) that have exhibit either low or high platelet responses, will be asked to repeat the above study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Collagen-induced platelet aggregometry

    Optical platelet aggregometry will be used to measure platelet aggregation. The percent maximal platelet aggregation will be measured. A reduction in maximal aggregation 2, 4 or 6 hours post EVOO intake compared to baseline will represent a reduction in platelet aggregation.

    Measured: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Adenosine Diphosphate-induced platelet aggregometry

    Optical platelet aggregometry will be used to measure platelet aggregation. The percent maximal platelet aggregation will be measured. A reduction in maximal aggregation 2, 4 or 6 hours post EVOO intake compared to baseline will represent a reduction in platelet aggregation.

    Measured: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours

  2. Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Arachidonic Acid-induced platelet aggregometry

    Optical platelet aggregometry will be used to measure platelet aggregation. The percent maximal platelet aggregation will be measured. A reduction in maximal aggregation 2, 4 or 6 hours post EVOO intake compared to baseline will represent a reduction in platelet aggregation.

    Measured: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours

  3. Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Platelet-derived oxylipins

    Oxylipin profile will be conducted from the activated platelet supernatant ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC) is used to measure levels of oxylipin. HPLC area under the peak will be measured.

    Measured: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours

  4. Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Metabolomics

    Untargeted metabolomics will be performed to assess the relationship between platelet response and the presence of circulating plasma metabolites.

    Measured: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oleocanthal-Rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Oleocanthal-low Extra Virgin Olive Oil in people with Platelet Aggregation and Nutritional and Metabolic Disease, run by University of California, Davis 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 7 inclusion and 21 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 24 Jun 2024. 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?

Influence of Oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on Collagen-induced platelet aggregometry (time frame: baseline, 2, 4 and 6 hours). 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 24 Jun 2024.
