About this study

Official title: The Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Intake on Liver and Kidney Function in Healthy Volunteers (CLAxon-Study)

The knowledge of the health effects of CLA on the human body is limited. However, CLA supplements are sold over the counter in several countries and various techniques are used to increase the content of CLA in food.

The CLAxon-study will be performed to investigate wether high doses of CLA can be safely given to healthy human volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Each volunteer receives CLA enriched products for a total of 3 weeks containing approximately 20g CLA per day. A control group is not needed. If three subjects or more show one or more blood values for liver and kidney function above predefined limits the study will be terminated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing consumption of CLA enriched food in people with Healthy, run by Wageningen University at 2 sites in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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?

ALAT. The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00449462, 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?
