Trial summary

This study will test the impact of vegetable oils with contrasting fatty acids composition on biomarkers of health (cardiovascular, kidney diseases and diabetes) after twelve weeks supplementation. We will use sunflower oil (high in PUFAs), rapeseed oil (high in MUFAs, locally produced) and a non-intervention control. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: No Evidence of Impact of Seed Oil Intake on Biomarkers of Coronary Artery Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetes in Healthy Adults With Overweight and Obesity - Result From a Blinded Randomised Control Trial

This study will test the impact of vegetable oils with contrasting fatty acids composition on biomarkers of health (cardiovascular, kidney diseases and diabetes) after twelve weeks supplementation. We will use sunflower oil (high in PUFAs), rapeseed oil (high in MUFAs, locally produced) and a non-intervention control. We have developed a sensitive and selective urinary proteomic biomarker of cardiovascular disease which we will use in a double-blinded randomised study.

Read the detailed description

The intervention follows a parallel double-blind randomised control design. The intervention duration is 12 weeks, with a mid-point assessment at 6 weeks. Randomisation to groups; rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or habitual diet is performed using a block stratified allocation based on age (under or over 45) and BMI (under or over 30kg/m2) and is carried out remotely via phone.

Participants allocated to either oil groups are instructed to consume the oils uncooked, as a partial replacement to their habitual fat intake. Participants in the control group are asked to not change any aspect of their diet.

Spot urine samples are collected from all participants at all time points for measurement of the primary outcome (proteomic biomarker score). Urine is collected in a plastic tube, mid-flow, as the second urination of the day at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks.

Fasting venous blood is collected for the assessment of secondary outcomes, at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Participants are also asked to complete a 2-day food diary at weeks 0, 6 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rapeseed oil and Sunflower oil in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Glasgow 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 2 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 30 Apr 2021. 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. 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?

Proteomic biomarkers (time frame: 0, 6, 12 weeks). 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 NCT04867629, 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 30 Apr 2021.
