Using Untargeted Metabolomics to Identify Urinary Biomarkers of Onion

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake has been reported as a modifiable risk factor of globally pervasive chronic diseases. Traditionally, the measurement of dietary intake has been conducted via self-report methods such as food diaries, food frequency questionnaires, and dietary recall. These methods are inherently subject to sources of error and biases. The objective measurement of diet-specific urinary biomarkers has been proposed as an alternate assessment method. A dose-dependent biomarker or biomarker panel for total FV intake has been investigated but not successfully established. In a recent publication as part of this PhD research, the researchers outlined a concise panel of 7 FVs that are predictive of total FV intake in a UK population. Recent studies have implemented an untargeted metabolomic approach to identify novel biomarkers of some of the 7 FVs identified in our prior research, but not with onion intake. The aim of this study is to detect, quantify and identify dose-dependent biomarker(s) of onion intake in a UK population using untargeted metabolomics. Phase 1 will be an acute randomised crossover intervention study, involving the consumption of a standardised portion of cooked onions (test) or couscous (control). Urine samples over the 24-hour period post-consumption will be collected. Phase 2 will be a dose-dependent crossover intervention study, where participants are supplied with supplementary onion portions (low, medium, high) to be consumed with their habitual evening meals. Within each supplementation period, participants will consume the same quantity of onions across the 4 days and collect a midstream first void urine samples on the fifth day. Trial order will be randomised, and a washout period of 3 days will be implemented between supplementation periods. 14 participants will be recruited for both phases of data collection. Urine samples will be analysed by high-performance liquid-chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) to identify potential biomarkers.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
