About this study

Official title: Maximising the Bioavailability and Activity of Broccoli Phytochemicals Using a Broccoli Soup Enriched for Myrosinase by Addition of Mustard Seeds

Epidemiological and experimental studies have indicated that the consumption of diets rich in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli has a range of beneficial effects on human health. These effects are usually attributed to naturally-occurring glucosinolates and their breakdown products, isothiocyanates, in cruciferous vegetables. One of these compounds, sulforaphane, the hydrolysis product of glucoraphanin, the main glucosinolate in broccoli has been reported to have bactericidal activity against H. pylori and other human pathogens. The investigators have recently shown that adding mustard seeds, which contain a more resilient form of this enzyme, to processed broccoli actually increased the formation of sulforaphane and minimised production of another biologically-inactive form. Experimental studies by the investigators have shown that sulforaphane can inhibit growth of a number of enteric pathogens including salmonella and E. coli which exert their effects in the small intestine. Currently the bioavailability, stability and bioactivity of sulforaphane in the small intestine of a human following consumption of broccoli is not known.

To assess the effect of broccoli phytochemicals in vivo 20 participants who have previously had an ileostomy (removal of colon, > 1.5 years post operative) will be fed 200 ml of broccoli soup/control in a randomised double blind crossover design and collect the ileal fluid before (0 hr) and after (4 hr) the feeding. The ileal fluid collected from participants will have undergone in vivo digestion, allowing analysis of the chemical composition and bioactivity of the ileal fluid. The hypothesis to be tested is that consumption of cooked broccoli plus myrosinase from mustard seeds will result in high levels of sulforaphane in ileostomy fluid, sufficient to suppress growth of enteric pathogens. This study will be used to assess whether previous observations on the in vitro antibacterial activity of broccoli are relevant in vivo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Broccoli & mustard seed soup and Broccoli soup in people with Ileostomy - Stoma, run by University of Ulster at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 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 Oct 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 Kingdom. 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?

Phytochemical concentration (time frame: Change over 4 hours). 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 3 Oct 2019.
