  • Individual is taking an anticonvulsant medication.
  • Individual has extreme dietary habits, as judged by the Investigator (e.g., vegan, Atkins, very low carbohydrate/very high protein, etc.).

  • Individual has uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg) at screening (visit 1, day -7). One re-test will be allowed on a separate day prior to visit 2, day 0 for subjects whose blood pressure exceeds either of these cut points at visit 1.
  • Individual has a recent history or strong potential for drug or alcohol abuse or has a positive urine drug screen.
  • Individual has a known allergy to any ingredients in the study products or provided meals/snacks.
  • Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with her ability to provide informed consent, comply with the study protocol, which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline-adjusted geometric mean ratio (GMR) for area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 2 h for plasma folate

    Changes in GMR for baseline-adjusted AUC for plasma folate

    Measured: Baseline to 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Unadjusted and baseline-adjusted AUC from 0 to 2 h for select nutrients in plasma

    Changes in unadjusted and baseline-adjusted AUC for select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 2 hours

  2. Unadjusted and baseline-adjusted GMRs for AUC from 0 to 2 h for select nutrients in plasma

    Changes in unadjusted and baseline-adjusted GMRs for AUC for select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 2 hours

  3. Unadjusted and baseline-adjusted AUC from 0 to 8 h for select nutrients in plasma

    Changes in unadjusted and baseline-adjusted AUC for select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 8 hours

  4. Unadjusted and baseline-adjusted GMRs for AUC from 0 to 8 h for select nutrients in plasma

    Changes in unadjusted and baseline-adjusted GMRs for AUC for select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 8 hours

  5. Maximum concentrations of select nutrients in plasma

    Differences between study products in unadjusted and baseline-adjusted maximum concentrations of select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 8 hours

  6. Time (in hours) to reach the maximum concentration of select nutrients in plasma

    Differences between study products in the time to reach the maximum concentration of select nutrients in plasma

    Measured: Baseline to 8 hours

  7. Concentration of a select nutrient in urine

    Differences between study products in the concentration of a select nutrient in urine

    Measured: Baseline to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Formulation #1 and Formulation #2 in people with Bioavailability, run by Midwest Center for Metabolic and Cardiovascular Research 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 7 inclusion and 25 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 17 May 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?

Baseline-adjusted geometric mean ratio (GMR) for area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 2 h for plasma folate (time frame: Baseline to 2 hours). 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 May 2023.
