Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Nutritional Supplement Capsule Containing Curcumin, Green Tea Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Extract, and Soybean Extract in Healthy Participants (NCT NCT00768118)

NCT ID: NCT00768118

Last Updated: 2014-06-23

Results Overview

The target accrual goal is 15 subjects. It is hoped that of those 15, at least 10 will be intervention compliant, and provide both planned blood samples. NF-kB levels will be measured using a supershift assay, which tests the specificity and level of NF-kB in the sample by measuring the optical density of a scan. With 10 patients, the mean difference in blood lymphocyte NF-kB level could be estimated to within 0.44 standard 7 deviations, with 80% confidence. That is reasonable precision and confidence level for a small pilot study, and should provide sufficiently precise estimates for use in planning a subsequent study.

Measure
Biomarker Alterations by Nutritional Labels
Participants will donate a blood sample (pre \& post intervention), two-3 tsp size tubes of blood will be collected in CPT tubes during each blood draw. Urine sample (pre \& post intervention). During the 2-wk intervention period, the participant will be ingesting a nutritional supplement. Two capsules taken orally twice daily with meals, no other tests will be performed.
