About this study

Official title: Assessment of Protein Intake and Micronutrient Fortification in Metabolically at Risk Children

The current study conducted will lend toward the optimization of the development of a food product that will promote a shift towards improved metabolic health. Specifically, this trial will determine the optimal level of protein needed to elicit positive changes in markers of inflammation, metabolic and micronutrient status, hepatic lipid metabolism, vascular function, and the relationship of these changes to the metabolome in school aged children (9 - 13 years of age).

Read the detailed description

Each participant will be asked to participate in a screening and 2 study intervention visits. Each intervention visit will include anthropometric measures, complete the education component, vascular function tests, and a blood draw and spot urine. The screening visit will confirm the child's eligibility for study enrollment and will serve to acclimate the child to the vascular function, and physical activity measurements. The remaining 2 visits will be scheduled 4 weeks apart. The participants will also be provided and asked to wear a physical activity monitor, which in addition to tracking physical activity, will also be used to incorporate a nutrition education program. The parent/guardian will be asked to help with providing the child the daily food product and to help their child fill out the compliance log. Volunteers will also be sought for stool and saliva collection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Microvascular Function

    Measured by EndoPAT2000. A PAT (Peripheral Arterial Tone) ratio is created using the post and pre occlusion values

    Measured: Compare change in baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Metabolome

    Measured with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

    Measured: Compare change in baseline and 4 weeks

  2. Change in Lipidome

    Measured by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) tandem mass-spectrometry

    Measured: Compare change in baseline and 4 weeks

  3. Change in Inflammatory Markers

    Measured by immunoassay

    Measured: Compare change in baseline and 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Food Product in people with Cardiovascular Risk Factor and Inflammation, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site in United States.

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 30 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 1 site in United States. 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?

Change in Microvascular Function (time frame: Compare change in baseline and 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 30 May 2019.
