Trial summary

This double-blind, randomized crossover trial assessed inflammation and fatigue following a fast-food-type meal (saturated fat) compared to a healthier meal (monounsaturated fat) in breast cancer survivors and benign controls (women who had an initial abnormal test for breast cancer).

  • Ages Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • We recruited a subset of a larger parent longitudinal observational study to participate in this study. Initially, participants were recruited following an abnormal mammogram, which resulted in either a malignant (cancer group) or benign (non-cancer control group) diagnosis.

Who cannot join

  • A history of any prior cancer except basal or squamous cell, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, evidence of liver or kidney failure, symptomatic ischemic heart disease, significant visual or auditory problems, cognitive impairment, major medical conditions involving the immune system such as diabetes, autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis, alcohol or drug abuse, marked and recurrent gastrointestinal problems, or regular use of medications with major immunological consequences, e.g., steroids.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-Meal Change in C-reactive Protein

    Serum CRP was obtained from blood drawn before the meal as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal. It was measured with the Vascular Injury Panel 2 Multispot Kit on an MSD Imager 2400 (both Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD, USA), following kit instructions.

    Measured: Blood samples were obtained before the meal (baseline) as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal

  2. Post-Meal Change in Serum Amyloid A

    Serum Amyloid A was obtained from blood drawn before the meal as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal. It as measured with the Vascular Injury Panel 2 Multispot Kit on an MSD Imager 2400 (both Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD, USA), following kit instructions.

    Measured: Blood samples were obtained before the meal (baseline) as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal

  3. Change in Intercellular adhesion molecule-1

    sICAM-1 was obtained from blood drawn before the meal as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal. It was measured with the Vascular Injury Panel 2 Multispot Kit on an MSD Imager 2400 (both Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD, USA), following kit instructions.

    Measured: Blood samples were obtained before the meal (baseline) as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal

  4. Change in Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1

    sVCAM-1 was obtained from blood drawn before the meal as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal. It was measured with the Vascular Injury Panel 2 Multispot Kit on an MSD Imager 2400 (both Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD, USA), following kit instructions.

    Measured: Blood samples were obtained before the meal (baseline) as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal

  5. Fatigue at Follow-Up Visits

    The 30-item Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short form assesses behavioral, cognitive, physical, and affective expressions of fatigue. It provides a very good measure of the multidimensional aspects of fatigue, allows for comparisons between fatigued and non-fatigued individuals, and has subscales measuring general, physical, emotional, mental, and vigor aspects of fatigue, as well as a total score.

    Measured: The survey was administered upon admission to the Clinical Research Center before the meal at both visits and at 18- and 30-month follow-up visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Saturated Fat Meal and Oleic Sunflower Oil Meal in people with Breast Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 Sep 2023. 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. 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?

Post-Meal Change in C-reactive Protein (time frame: Blood samples were obtained before the meal (baseline) as well as 2, 4, and 7 hours post-meal). The study lists 5 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 NCT04247763, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Sep 2023.
