  • Ages 25 to 45 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Provide voluntary signed and dated informed consent.
  • Be in good health as determined by medical history and routine blood chemistries.
  • Age between the ages of 25 and 45 (inclusive).
  • Body Mass Index of 18.5-24.9 (inclusive).
  • Body weight of at least 110 pounds.
  • Normotensive (seated, resting systolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg.

The average of all three measurements will be used to determine eligibility.

What participants receive

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

  • Lysine butyrateDietary supplement

    Lysine butyrate supplement. This study will compare plasma pharmacokinetic profiles of three commercially available butyrate supplements.

  • Sodium ButyrateDietary supplement

    Oral sodium butyrate supplement.

  • TributyrinDietary supplement

    Oral tributyrin supplement.

What is being measured

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

  1. plasma butyrate levels

    Plasma butyrate levels in ug/mL.

    Measured: Prior to product administration (time 0), as well as 20, 45, 90, 150, and 210 minutes post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Visual analog scales for cognitive function.

    Cognitive function as measured by a traditional 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS), where values can range from 0 to 10, and higher values represent better cognitive function.

    Measured: 0, 20, 45, 90, 150 and 210 minutes post-dose

  2. Visual analog scales for mood.

    Mood as measured by a traditional 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS), where values can range from 0 to 10, and higher values represent better mood.

    Measured: 0, 20, 45, 90, 150 and 210 minutes post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lysine butyrate, Sodium Butyrate and Tributyrin in people with Gastro-Intestinal Disorder, run by The Center for Applied Health Sciences, LLC 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 12 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 22 Nov 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. 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?

plasma butyrate levels (time frame: Prior to product administration (time 0), as well as 20, 45, 90, 150, and 210 minutes post-dose). 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 22 Nov 2024.
