About this study

Official title: Intake of Low Dose of Docosahexaenoic Acid: Effects on Platelet Functions and Redox Status in Diabetic Patients

Aim: to determine the effects of DHA supplementation:

  • on the platelet function through their aggregation and the pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism
  • on redox status on cells and plasma
  • on inflammation in 16 type 2 diabetic patients in a cross-over study comparing DHA (400 mg/day for 2 weeks) vs Sunflower oil (placebo). Each period is separated by a wash-out period of 6 to 9 weeks.
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Being tested
First period DHA, Second period DHA
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • First period DHADietary supplement

    400 mg DHA supplementation by day for 2 weeks during the first study period

  • Second period DHADietary supplement

    400 mg DHA supplementation by day for 2 weeks during the second study period

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet function induced by collagen

    4 blood sampling are made during the time of study which expand from 10 weeks (washout period of 6 weeks) to 13 weeks (washout period of 9 weeks):

    • first at the beginning of the first period
    • second at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning)
    • third at the beginning of the second period
    • fourth at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning)

    Measured: 4 blood sampling in 10 to 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of cellular and plasmatic redox status

    blood sampling are made during the time of study which expand from 10 weeks (washout period of 6 weeks) to 13 weeks (washout period of 9 weeks):

    first at the beginning of the first period second at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning) third at the beginning of the second period fourth at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning)

    Measured: 4 blood sampling in 10 to 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing First period DHA and Second period DHA in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 28 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Platelet function induced by collagen (time frame: 4 blood sampling in 10 to 13 weeks). 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 NCT01150292, 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 28 May 2019.
