About this study

Official title: Supplementation of Dual Probiotic Strains, Lactobacillus Curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus Plantarum KY1032, Reduced Fasting Triglyceride and Enhanced Apolipoprotein A-V Levels in Nondiabetic and Hypertriglyceridemic Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dual probiotic strains containing Lactobacillus curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus plantarum KY1032 on triglyceride and apolipoprotein A-V.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 128 nondiabetic and hypertriglyceridemic (Plasma Triglyceride, 150-500 mg/dL) subjects. Over a 12 week test period, the probiotic group consumed 2g of powder daily containing dual probiotic strains, while the placebo group consumed the same without probiotics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dual probiotics in people with Hypertriglyceridemia, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 14 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 13 Aug 2014. 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

ApoA5-1131 genotype (time frame: at baseline). 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 NCT02215694, 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 13 Aug 2014.
