Clinical Trial Summary

The primary aim of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study is to assess the short-term cognitive effects of two beverages containing 100 and 300 mg coffeeberry extract (obtained from the fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) compared to a placebo beverage. The trial will utilise the COMPASS cognitive assessment system and cognitive demand battery (CDB) and mood visual analogue scales (VAS) with assessments taking place at baseline, 60- and 120-minutes post treatment, on four separate testing days separated by 7 days. A treatment containing 75 mg caffeine will be used as a positive control to document participants' responsiveness to an established psychostimulant.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Mental fatigue Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale, not at all to extremely, within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption during a Cognitive Demand Battery (CDB), compared to placebo beverages. Less mental fatigue is better.
Primary Mental alertness Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale, not at all to extremely, within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption during a Cognitive Demand Battery (CDB), compared to placebo beverages. More mental alertness is better.
Secondary Mental fatigue Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale, not at all to extremely, within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS). Less mental fatigue is better. Change from baseline to 60 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, during a Cognitive Demand Battery (CDB), compared to placebo and caffeine beverages
Secondary Mental Alertness Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale, not at all to extremely, from within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, during a Cognitive Demand Battery (CDB), compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. More mental alertness is better.
Secondary Motivation Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale from none to strongest feelings, within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, during a Cognitive Demand Battery (CDB), compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. More motivation is better.
Secondary Fatigue (Mental State Energy and Fatigue Scales, (EFS)) score Subjective feelings of mental energy and mental fatigue. Intensity rating scale from none to strongest, yields composite score ranging from 0-300, included within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, following CBD, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. Less fatigue is better.
Secondary Fatigue (Physical State Energy and Fatigue Scales, (EFS)) score Subjective feelings of physical energy and physical fatigue. Intensity rating scale from none to strongest, yields composite score ranging from 0-300, included within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, following CBD, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. Less fatigue is better.
Secondary Alertness (Bond Lader Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale of intensity of feelings within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, following CBD, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. More alertness is better.
Secondary Calmness (Bond Lader Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale of intensity of feelings within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, following CBD, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. More calmness is better.
Secondary Contentedness (Bond Lader Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) score 0-100 mm subjective rating scale of intensity of feelings within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, following CBD, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. More contentedness is better.
Secondary Change in cognitive function measures (Serial subtraction tasks, rapid visual information processing) scores Objective tests within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Change from baseline to 60 and 120 min post-coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg) consumption, compared to placebo and caffeine beverages. Higher scores are better.
Secondary Episodic memory tasks (delayed word recall, delayed word recognition, delayed picture recognition) score Objective tests within Computerised Mental Performance Assessment framework tasks (COMPASS) Comparison of recollection between coffeeberry beverage (100 and 300 mg), placebo and caffeine beverages to stimuli presented at baseline versus 120 min post-consumption. More recall is better.
