About this study

The project aims to investigate the antithrombotic activity of the novel yoghurt drink enriched with polar lipids derived from ovine milk. The health claims the formulated novel or functional food on EFSA guidelines "The scientific requirements for health claims related to antioxidants, oxidative damage and cardiovascular health" and in a particular paragraph 5.4, "Claims on reduced platelet aggregation" "Platelet hyperactivity and hypercoagulability states are more commonly observed in subjects with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Healthy subjects or participants at very low risk of CV disease normally have non-activated circulating platelets. Reducing platelet aggregation in subjects with platelet activation during sustained exposure to the food/constituent (e.g., four weeks) would be a beneficial physiological effect".

Within this investigation, the postprandial effects of this novel yoghurt drink against platelet aggregation are going to be studied ex vivo in blood from healthy human subjects as described in previously established procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. An investigation of anti-platelet or antithrombotic effect of novel yoghurt drink by platelet aggregometry

    An investigation of anti-platelet or antithrombotic effect of novel yoghurt drink by platelet aggregometry will be carried out. The postprandial effect of novel yoghurt drink will be studied by using a platelet aggregation method as per literature. The antithrombotic effect of yoghurt drink lipids will be studied, using PAF and TRAP as platelet aggregation mediators. The investigation will be based on the study-specific platelet aggregometry analysis. Subjects will come to the lab after overnight fasting and they will be provided yoghurt drink (200mL); the activation of their platelets will be monitored over a period of 4 hours (0 to 4 hours study with 1 hour check points).

    Measured: 0 mins (preprandially) to 240 mins (postprandially)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Novel yoghurt drink containing Polar Lipids in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Limerick at 1 site in Ireland.

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 3 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 7 Nov 2022. 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 Ireland. 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?

An investigation of anti-platelet or antithrombotic effect of novel yoghurt drink by platelet aggregometry (time frame: 0 mins (preprandially) to 240 mins (postprandially)). 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 NCT05290883, 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 7 Nov 2022.
