About this study

Official title: PREVENTOMICS: Empowering Consumers to 'PREVENT' Diet-related Diseases Through 'OMICS' Sciences - Danish Intervention Study

The over-all aim of this 10-week randomized-controlled study, taking place only in Denmark, is to examine whether the PREVENTOMICS platform integrated in an e-commerce digital tool created to deliver personalized meals and dietary advices is able to produce more favorable health effects than meals based on general dietary recommendations in overweight subjects with elevated waist circumference.

Read the detailed description

PREVENTOMICs project (Empowering consumers to PREVENT diet-related diseases through OMICS sciences), coordinated by Eurecat (Spain), has developed a personalized nutrition platform with a Decision Support System (DSS) tool that integrates different disease-inducing metabolic signatures with genotype and other informative information such as the characteristics of individual's behavioural traits, to correlate health status and provide personalized nutritional plan.

To demonstrate the potential for personalization of the platform, PREVENTOMICS will be validated in three different scenarios through three different organizations carrying out intervention studies with both healthy volunteers and volunteers with abdominal obesity.

The current study in Denmark will be a 10-week double-blinded randomized (1:1 randomization), placebo-controlled trial carried out with overweight/obese subjects having elevated waist circumference living in Greater Copenhagen. After the confirmation of the inclusion criteria, 100 individuals will be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups. Both groups will receive meals from Simple Feast following the national guidelines of macronutrient composition. The control group (n=50) will receive meals based on general dietary recommendations whereas the meals of the second group (n=50) are personalized based on metabolic biomarkers (PP group). In addition, participants of both groups will receive electronic push notifications of behavioral change messages for the purpose of general behavioral change and improving adherence to the nutritional intervention, which will be sent during the 10-week trial by ONMI. However, subjects in the PP group will receive personally tailored and actionable behavior change prompts from the predefined ONMI's program while subjects in the control group will receive it in a non-personalized fashion with standard messages.

Our hypothesis is that delivery of personalized meal/plan through the PREVENTOMICS platform integrated with e-commerce digital tool, will promote a greater reduction in fat mass and weight, as well as producing favorable changes in blood metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers compared to the control group.

What participants receive

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

  • Personalized Nutrition PlanOther

    • Personalized breakfasts and dinners designed and cooked by Simplefeast, delivered twice a week (eaten 6 days per week) + access to Simplefeast's App for recipes of other meals not provided (i.e. lunches and Saturdays) which are designed to match the individual nutritional recommendations.
    • Personalized behavioral change program via electronic push notifications by ONMI
  • Non-Personalized Nutrition PlanOther

    • Standard meals of breakfasts and dinners designed and cooked by Simple feast, based on general dietary recommendations, and delivered to participants twice a week. In addition, they will also have access to Simple feast's recipe App for other meals not provided. The recipes presented are generic, not personalized.
    • Subjects in the control group will also be enrolled in the behavioral program by ONMI, but the program will not be personalized nor based on the same behavior change methodology as in the PP group. In other words, the control group will get information more than is triggered to take actual action (i.e. general guidelines that is available from the National Health Service and World Health Organization).
Study groups in NCT04590989
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Personalized Plan (PP)ExperimentalEach subject in the PP group will be allocated to one of five clusters based on their metabolic and genetic health biomarkers from samples of urine, plasma, serum, and saliva. 58 biomarkers will be included to characterize the 5 metabolic clusters/processes in the PREVENTOMICS platform: 1) oxidative stress; 2) inflammation; 3) carbohydrate metabolism; 4) lipid metabolism; 5) microbiota-generated metabolites. Eurecat Nutrition Team has prepared a list of recommended food items to increase and food to exclude/limit from the diet for each cluster. The list will be adopted by Simple Feast in creating five different menus that will encompass the 12 meals/week of breakfasts and dinners for the five different metabolic clusters. Additionally, subjects will receive personalized actionable "Do's" push notifications by ONMI. The messages are personalized based on user reports from the behavioral questionnaire at V2 in addition to inputs from the nutritional recommendations of food to increase.
Receives: Other: Personalized Nutrition Plan
Control GroupPlacebo comparatorDietary intervention: The second group of 50 subjects will receive meals from Simple Feast, after integrating their metabolic profile and other blood biomarkers by PREVENTOMICS, which are based on the national dietary guidelines. Behavioral intervention: Subjects will also receive nudges, after filling out ONMI's behavioral questionnaire at V2, but that will not be personalized (i.e. basic information that is available online from NHS and WHO).
Receives: Other: Non-Personalized Nutrition Plan

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in body fat mass from baseline to week 10 will be analyzed by means of linear mixed models including sex, age and BMI at baseline as fixed effects as well as the stratification variable (cluster).

    Fat mass is evaluated by use of Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. The DXA-scan (iDXA, Lunar Radiation Co., Madison, Wisconsin, USA) is performed at V2 and V3 to calculate the difference between the two measurements.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in body composition from baseline to week 10: visceral and subcutaneous fat, body lean mass, weight, body mass index, waist circumference

    Body composition is evaluated by DXA scans at V2 and V3. Body weight will be measured after the participant has voided their bladder using a calibrated digital scale. weight will be recorded in kg to the nearest 0.1 kg. Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by the person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters. Waist circumference will be measured with a stretch-resistant tape at the midpoint between the lower margin of the last palpable ribs and the top of the iliac crest. It will be measured twice to the nearest 0.5 cm and thereafter an average will be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

  2. Change in lipid profile (fasting) from baseline to week 10: total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)

    Fasting blood samples will obtained after an overnight fast (from food and drinks except for water) for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the blood sampling.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

  3. Change in blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR (fasting) from baseline to week 10

    Fasting blood samples will obtained after an overnight fast (from food and drinks except for water) for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the blood sampling.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

  4. Change in inflammatory biomarkers (fasting) - CRP, IL-6, MCP1, TNFα, IL-10, soluble ICAM1, soluble CD14 from baseline to week 10

    Fasting blood samples will obtained after an overnight fast (from food and drinks except for water) for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the blood sampling.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

  5. Change in adipokines (fasting) - Leptin, Adiponectin, Leptin/Adiponectin ratio from baseline to week 10

    Fasting blood samples will obtained after an overnight fast (from food and drinks except for water) for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the blood sampling.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

  6. Change in blood pressure from baseline to week 10

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse will be measured using a validated automatic device on the arm after 5-10 min rest in a resting position. The measurement is taken three times with a 1 min rest in between (four times if the last two measurements deviate >5 mmHg), and the reading is recorded to the nearest 1 mmHg. A mean value of the last two readings is used. The same arm will be used for all measurements at all visits.

    Measured: Baseline (V2) and week 10 (V3).

Model description
Eurecat will grant Simple feast and ONMI access to users' profile via PREVENTOMICS Platform in order to know which group the subject is assigned to and intervene accordingly. The profile includes the assigned group/cluster along with nutritional recommendations of each subject. 100 individuals will be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups. Both groups will receive meals and recipes from Simple Feast. The control group (50 subjects) will receive meals based on general dietary recommendations whereas the meals of the personalized plan group (50 subjects) are personalized based on an analysis of their metabolic biomarkers, genetics, preferences, health status, and lifestyle habits. In addition, ONMI will deliver a personally tailored and actionable behavior change program (Do-Omics) to the personalized plan group while the control group will receive general advice.
