Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of a dietary supplement from soybeans that might help in managing heart disease. The rationale for this study is to reduce the risk factors of heart disease in high risk individuals by using soy supplements. The dietary supplement intervention trial is a randomized, 2x2 cross over design with 24 subjects in free-living conditions. There will be a two week run-in (acclimation period) after which subjects will be randomized to receive either QCAN powder or placebo powder for 12 weeks. Following a two week wash out period, subjects will be switched over(cross over) to alternate treatment. Thus, the interventions of the study will last for a total of 28 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

29 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To test the effects of Q CAN PLUS powder, on serum lipids
Time Frame: baseline to 7 months
This is a composite measurement which will measure the change in the levels of serum Low Density Cholesterol, High Density Cholesterol, ApoLipoprotein A and B, APO E Allele genetic typing and triglycerides before the ingestion of QCAN PLUS powder and at 7 months after ingestion of Q CAN PLUS powder.
baseline to 7 months
Inflammatory parameter
Time Frame: baseline to 7 months
to test the changes in concentration of hs-CRP (highly sensitive C reactive protein) in the blood prior to ingestion of Q CAN PLUS powder and again at 7 months after ingestion of Q CAN PLUS Powder
baseline to 7 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fasting Glucose
Time Frame: baseline to 7 months
to test the changes in the concentration of fasting glucose levels in the blood prior to ingestion of Q CAN PLUS powder and again after 7 months after ingestion of QCAN PLUS powder
baseline to 7 months
