About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Cross-over Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Functional Meat Products With n-3 and Rosemary Extract Fluid in Biochemical Markers of Cardiovascular Disease Related Risk in Subjects at Low Risk for Cardiovascular Disease

Volunteers were randomly assigned by gender to follow of two 12 weeks experimental periods: intervention (I) and control (C) in different order (I/C or C/I). Both periods were separated by a 4 weeks wash-out interval during which subjects returned to their usual diet:

During the I period, volunteers weekly consumed three 150g/serving Functional Meat (FM) products (cooked Ham and Turkey breast). It was firmly recommended that all other meats and meat derivatives had to be excluded from the diet.

During the C period, volunteers consumed identical amounts of meat products that did not include functional ingredients (Control Meat (CM)).

Functional meat (FM) products (Functional cooked Ham (FH) and Functional cooked Turkey breast (FT)), were manufactured mixing the meats with the patented formula® (P200402755.2004). The amount of supercritical rosemary extract, deodorized salmon oil and vitamin E used was respectively, 0.02% w/w, 0.6% w/w, and 0.001% w/w.

Control meat (CM) products (Control cooked Ham (CH) and Control cooked Turkey (CT), were prepared without addition of the functional ingredients.

The total duration of the study was 28 weeks: first experimental period 0-12 weeks, washout period 12-16 weeks second experimental period 16-28 weeks:

What is being measured

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

  1. Lipid profile changes

    Parameters measured were: Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Apolipoprotein B and Apolipoprotein A.

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Framingham score changes

    Framingham score adapted to Spanish population (cardiovascular risk measurement)

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

  2. Inflammatory markers changes

    Parameters measured were: Adiponectin, fibrinogen, TNFα, IL6, IL1B, PAI-1 and PCR

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

  3. Oxidative Stress Parameters changes

    Parameters measured were: plasma antioxidant capacity (FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power), lipidic peroxidation (TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay), LDL-ox, . 8-iso-Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α), α-tocopherol and nitric oxide synthase (NOS).

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

  4. Glucosa Metabolism changes

    Parameters measured were: glucose, basal insulin, HOMA index (glycemic insulin sensitivity index was calculated using the formula: HOMA-IR = fasting glucose (mmol/l)/fasting immunoreactive insulin (mU/ml)/22.5).

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

  5. Blood pressure and heart rate changes

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

  6. Anthropometric parameters changes

    Parameters measured were: Weight, Height and waist circumference, tricipital skinfold thickness and fat mass percentage (FM%).

    Measured: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Functional Meet in people with Low Risk for Cardiovascular Disease, run by Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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 3 Dec 2013. 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 Spain. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Lipid profile changes (time frame: 0, 12, 16 and 28 week). 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 NCT01999088, 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 3 Dec 2013.
