About this study

Official title: Effect of Olive Oil Consumption on Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Asians and Caucasians: A Randomized, Crossover, Controlled Interventional Trial

The main aim of this study is to examine the effect of olive oil consumption on several cardiovascular risk markers between Caucasians and Asian ethnicity. The primary assessments: endothelial function's biomarkers: cell and vascular adhesion molecules (ICAMs and VCAMs) and nitric oxide (NO). The secondary assessments: Lipid profile.

Being tested
Olive oil, Butter

What participants receive

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

  • Olive oilDietary supplement

    Participants will be randomly allocated to receive daily dose of 30ml of olive oil (OO) as intervention group or a matching control (butter 30g) for 2 weeks each (i.e. two weeks olive oil and two weeks butter), separated by a washout period of 2 weeks between treatments.

  • ButterDietary supplement

    Participants will be randomly allocated to receive daily dose of 30ml of olive oil (OO) as intervention group or a matching control (butter 30g) for 2 weeks each (i.e. two weeks olive oil and two weeks butter), separated by a washout period of 2 weeks between treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Olive oil and Butter in people with Cardiovascular Risk Factor, run by Northumbria University 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 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

changes in ambulatory blood pressure (time frame: Baseline and 2 weeks). 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 17 Mar 2020.
