The method of contraception must be recorded in the source document.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Study to Examine the Effects of N-trans-caffeoyl Tyramine and N-trans-feruloyl Tyramine Bioactives on Fat Oxidation in Adult Women With Overweight and Obesity

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of daily consumption of encapsulated N-trans-caffeoyl tyramine (NCT) and N-trans-feruloyl tyramine (NFT) at a dose of 120 mg/d on measures of fat oxidation in women with overweight or obesity. The hypothesis is that fat oxidation at rest (measured via indirect calorimetry) and over a 24 h period (measured via d31-palmitic acid stable isotope tracer) will be higher in the group receiving the active study product compared to the control product at the end of the 4-week consumption period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary supplement containing plant derived phenolics and Microcrystaline cellulose in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Brightseed 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 10 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2024. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

% deuterium (2H) label from oxidation of d31-palmitic acid (time frame: Day 1 and Day 28 (each day measurements are done in multiple timepoints of Hour 0, Hour 3, Hour 4, Hour 8, and Hour 24)). 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 12 Aug 2024.
