About this study

Official title: Effects of Diet Interventions on Monocyte Phenotypes in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome

Subjects with hypertriglyceridemia and metabolic syndrome are being recruited and receive diet interventions with either a high-saturated fat diet or a low-fat high protein diet for 4 days (days 1-4) and a breakfast on day 5. Blood samples are collected on day 1 and day 5 to examine lipid levels and circulating monocyte phenotypes.

Subjects with hypertriglyceridemia and metabolic syndrome are being recruited and receive diet interventions with either a high-saturated fat diet or a low-fat high protein diet for 4 days (days 1-4) and a breakfast on day 5. Blood samples are collected on day 1 at fasting state and on day 5 at fasting state and 4 and 6 hours after the breakfast to examine lipid levels and circulating monocyte phenotypes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing diet in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Hypertriglyceridemia, run by Baylor College of Medicine 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 2 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 8 Jul 2020. 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?

Effects of diet interventions on monocyte phenotypes (time frame: 2016 to 2020). 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 NCT03591588, 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 8 Jul 2020.
