What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Beet-it JuiceDietary supplement

    Patients will ingest 1 bottle (70ml) of beet-it juice (98% concentrated beet juice, 2% lemon juice containing 400 mg/6.5 mmol nitrate).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in nasal NO as measured by a chemiluminescence analyzer

    Measured: Baseline,after beet juice consumption(1 hour after consumption)

  2. Change in nasal NO as measured by a chemiluminescence analyzer

    Measured: Baseline,after beet juice consumption( 2 hours after consumption)

  3. Change in nasal FeNO as measured by using the NIOX MINO® Airway Inflammation Monitor

    Measured: Baseline,after beet juice consumption(1 hour after consumption)

  4. Change in nasal FeNO as measured by using the NIOX MINO® Airway Inflammation Monitor

    Measured: Baseline,after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in ciliary beat frequency as measured using high-speed video-microscopy (HSVM)

    Measured: after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption)

  2. Change in lung function as measured by spirometry

    spirometry is used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale,how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale

    Measured: Baseline,after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Beet-it Juice in people with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston 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 5 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2023. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ricardo A Mosquera, MD ((713) 500-5650, Ricardo.A.Mosquera@uth.tmc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in nasal NO as measured by a chemiluminescence analyzer (time frame: Baseline,after beet juice consumption(1 hour after consumption)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 May 2023.
