Trial summary

Olives and olive oil are typical components of the Mediterranean diet being part of its cultural and gastronomic heritage. Since ancient times, olives have been used either for both, oil extraction or whole fruit consumption as table olives. Olive oil stands out from both the nutritional and the health point of view.

About this study

Official title: Table Olives Nutritional Intervention: Pharmacokinetics of Polyphenols and Pentacyclic Triterpenes and Assessment of Antioxidant, Cardiovascular and Anti-inflammatory Biomarkers

Olives and olive oil are typical components of the Mediterranean diet being part of its cultural and gastronomic heritage. Since ancient times, olives have been used either for both, oil extraction or whole fruit consumption as table olives. Olive oil stands out from both the nutritional and the health point of view. However, the effect of table olives consumption remains almost unknown. The beneficial properties of olive oil have been initially ascribed to the high concentration of oleic acid. Nowadays, these positive effects have been attributed also to minor compounds such as polyphenols or pentacyclic triterpenes. Table olives contain a higher amount of both polyphenols and pentacyclic triterpenes than their oil, with the same healthy fatty acid profile. Therefore, the present intervention aims at investigating the pharmacokinetic of polyphenols and pentacyclic triterpenes after a single olive intake as well as the assessment of the effect of the consumption of olives during 30 days on the overall health status playing particular attention to the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cardiovascular biomarkers.

What participants receive

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

  • Table OlivesOther

    At early morning (08:00 h e.g.) and after 10 hours of fasting conditions, the olives of the Arbequina variety will be administered to each subject. The 60 olives will be weighted before the ingestion and the remaining stones will be subsequently weighted to keep a record of the amount of olive pulp that has been consumed. The subjects will have a period of 5 minutes to ingest 60 olives with 240 mL of water. Blood samples will be collected from 1 hour prior to administration until 24 hours after dosing. Urine samples will also be collected and blood pressure will be measured.

  • Table OlivesOther

    At early morning (08:00 h e.g.) and after 10 hours of fasting conditions, the olives of the Arbequina variety will be administered to each subject. The 120 olives will be weighted before the ingestion and the remaining stones will be subsequently weighted to keep a record of the amount of olive pulp that has been consumed. The subjects will have a period of 10 minutes to ingest 120 olives with 240 mL of water. Blood samples will be collected from 1 hour prior to administration until 24 hours after dosing. Urine samples will also be collected and blood pressure will be measured.

  • Table OlivesOther

    All the subjects will perform two experimental sessions of 30 days with 15 days of washout periods within experimental periods. In one experimental session subjects will ingest table olives and in the other session they will act as their own controls following their normal dietary habits. During all the experiment participants will avoid the consumption of products rich in phenolic and triterpenic compounds. Subjects will include the dose of 60 table olives within their normal dietary habits. Consequently, the olives will be consumed two times daily within each main meal; 30 olives before lunch and 30 olives before dinner. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and 15 and 30 days of each experimental session. Tolerability variables and blood pressure will also be measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Table Olives in people with Healthy and Biological Availability, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 8 Aug 2019. 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 Spain. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Stage 1: Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 33 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 NCT03886597, which also lists 20 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 8 Aug 2019.
