What is being measured

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

  1. Proportional change in serum LDL cholesterol

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum LDL-cholesterol between intervention and control groups in subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria at the beginning of the study.

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportional change in total cholesterol

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum total cholesterol between intervention and control groups in subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria at the beginning of the study.

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

  2. Proportional change in non-HDL-cholesterol

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum non-HDL-cholesterol between intervention and control groups in subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria at the beginning of the study.

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

  3. Proportional change in serum triglycerides

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum triglycerides between intervention and control groups in subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria at the beginning of the study.

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

  4. Proportional change in lipids in all study participants

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum lipids in all study participants (ITT analysis)

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

  5. Proportional change in lipids in subjects without metabolic derangements

    Proportional change [end of intervention - start of intervention] in serum lipids in study participants without metabolic derangements (excluding those with type two diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome)

    Measured: 3 to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supplement product with plant stanol ester in people with Hypercholesterolemia and Hyperlipidemias, run by Raisio Group.

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 4 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 29 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Proportional change in serum LDL cholesterol (time frame: 3 to 4 weeks). 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 29 Oct 2015.
