Cohort Study on Plant-based Diets (COPLANT Study)

COPLANT
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Cohort on Plant-based Diets (COPLANT) study is a multi-centre cohort study that starts baseline recruitment from 2024 to 2027 with approximately 6,000 participants in Germany and Austria. The COPLANT study focuses on vegan (no animal products), vegetarian (no meat and fish, but dairy products and eggs), pescetarian (no meat, but fish) and omnivorous (mixed diet including all possible animal products) diets. The aim of the COPLANT study is to gain new insights on health benefits and risks as well as social, ecological and economic effects of different plant-based diets in comparison to a mixed diet. In addition to a detailed dietary survey using an app adapted to the needs of this study, the baseline examination includes measurements of body composition, bone health, cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes risk, contaminants and lifestyle. For the basic laboratory program, fasting blood, 24-hour urine collection and a stool sample are taken from all study participants. Furthermore, specific aspects of dietary behavior, physical activity and other lifestyle factors are collected via questionnaires. Follow-up studies are planned at intervals of 5, 10 and 20 years after the baseline visit.

PROSPective Evaluation of Fortified Eggs Related to Improvement in The Biomarker Profile for Your Health

PROSPERITY
Start date: January 6, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to assess the effect of fortified eggs (compared to a non-egg supplemented diet) and intermittent fasting (IF) (compared to a usual care diet) on biomarker profile at 4 months. This will be a 140-participant, 2x2 factorial, randomized clinical trial comparing fortified eggs vs. a non-egg supplemented diet and IF vs. usual care diet through 4 months. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to the four treatment groups. Participants will have in-person follow-up visits at 1- and 4- months (inclusive of laboratory assessments) in addition to telephone calls at months 2 and 3. A subset of patients (~24 in each egg randomized strata) will undergo microbiome assessment at baseline and at 4 months.

NCT ID: NCT04587076 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Protein Intake and Micronutrient Supplementation After Bariatric Surgery

BOP
Start date: July 3, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Obesity is a chronic disease in which accumulation of excess body fat can result in impaired health. In cases of severe obesity, weight loss surgery can be necessary as a treatment. There are different forms of surgery but the common basic principle is to restrict food intake and decrease the absorption of food in the stomach and intestines. As a consequence, there is a higher risk of developing nutrient deficiency after surgery and supplementation of protein, vitamins, and minerals can be necessary. This study evaluates intakes of protein, vitamins, and minerals in patients with weight loss surgery and compares them to recommended intakes. Further, this study looks at the role of age, sex, and socioeconomic status in this context.

NCT ID: NCT04054505 Completed - Vitamin Deficiency Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of a Nutraceutical in Raising Circulating Serum Vitamin, Mineral and Amino Acid Levels in Patients.

Start date: January 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to correlate the findings of an early study with current data.

NCT ID: NCT03360435 Completed - Clinical trials for Bariatric Surgery Candidate

Absorption of Transdermal Vitamins in Post Bariatric Surgery Patients

Start date: December 15, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients undergoing bariatric surgery often develop new vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies or exacerbate prior deficiencies after surgery. Several bariatric supplement products exist including oral tablets and transdermal patches. The purpose of this study is to observe the concentrations of serum micronutrients and determine how many deficiencies develop in patients who use a transdermal patch.

NCT ID: NCT03146273 Not yet recruiting - Vitamin Deficiency Clinical Trials

Study of Absorption Characteristics of Two Multivitamin Mineral Formulations (Gel vs. Tablet/Capsule)

Start date: May 9, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical study is designed to evaluate difference in the AUC of the absorption of Multivitamin and minerals defined in the protocol

NCT ID: NCT03004807 Recruiting - Aging Clinical Trials

Role of Centrum® Silver® in Improving Micronutrient Status in Older Men

Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Older adults are susceptible to vitamin and mineral deficiencies for a variety of reasons and have an increased demand for many of these micronutrients. Multivitamin/multimineral supplement offer a simple way for adults to improve nutrient intake, but their ability to measurably affect micronutrient status in older adults has never been explored. This study intends to recruit healthy, non-smoking men aged 65 years or older. After meeting entry criteria, subjects will be required to restrict the use of supplements and/or fortified foods. Two months after these restrictions have begun, subjects will come to the clinical research center to take cognitive tests, undergo activity monitoring, provide blood samples for nutrition testing, and take food frequency questionnaires. Subjects will then be randomized into one of two groups - one consuming a multivitamin/multimineral supplement (Centrum Silver Mens Formula); another consuming an inert placebo tablet. Subjects will consume 1 tablet each day for six months. After this period, subjects will return to the clinical research center and repeat cognitive tests, activity monitor, blood sampling, and food frequency questionnaires. These data will be assessed to determine if multivitamin consumption results in changes in various nutrients versus taking a placebo (primary outcomes), and may results in changes lipid and lipoprotein profiles, metabolic health, inflammation, blood pressure or cognitive function (secondary outcomes). The investigators expect that results of this study will add to the general understanding if multivitamin/multimineral formulas can improve nutrition status of older adults, and therefore have the capacity of altering markers of health.

NCT ID: NCT02272842 Active, not recruiting - Malnutrition Clinical Trials

Vitamin B12, Neurodevelopment and Growth in Nepal

BeLive
Start date: April 20, 2015
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Rationale: Globally, vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies. The only relevant source of Vitamin B12 is animal-source foods. Vitamin B12 is crucial for normal cell division and is necessary for brain growth as well as for the maintenance of its normal function. Deficiency is also associated with impaired growth. In a previous study, we demonstrated that vitamin B12 administration over a period of six months enhanced growth, and scores on a neuro-developmental test in young Indian children. However, the overall effect was small and, for the developmental scores significant only in those that were malnourished at the start of the study. Our findings need to be verified in trials targeting younger, malnourished children and with longer supplementation time. Hypothesis: This proposed study will test three hypotheses; to measure to what extent 2 recommended daily allowances (RDA) of vitamin B12 administration for one year to stunted children improves; 1) growth, 2) neurodevelopment, and 3) hemoglobin concentration. Study design: Randomized placebo-controlled trial. Half of the children will receive a paste containing vitamin B12, the other half the same paste but without vitamin B12. Study participants and site: 600 malnourished infants in Bhaktapur municipality in Nepal. In this population we have demonstrated that vitamin B12 deficiency and poor growth is common in early childhood. Intervention: Daily administration of a paste containing vitamin B12 or placebo for 12 months Data: The main outcomes of this study are scores on developmental assessments tools and growth measured every month for 12 months.
