Oropharyngeal Immunoprophylaxis With High Polyphenolic Olive Oil as Clinical Spectrum Mitigating Factor in COVID-19. (COVID-19)

January 12, 2023 updated by: Francisco Rodríguez Argente, Hospital General Nuestra Señora del Prado

Ensayo clínico Aleatorizado y Controlado Para la evaluación de la Eficacia y Seguridad de la Inmunoprofilaxis orofaríngea Con Aceite de Oliva Rico en Polifenoles Como atenuación y prevención de la Enfermedad Infecciosa Por el Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

Immunomodulation of local immune response at the oropharyngeal mucosa can hypothetically activate mucosal immunity, which can difficult SARS-CoV-2 main immune evasion mechanisms in early stages of the disease and send an effective warning to the adaptive immune system. There are previous studies on immunotherapeutic management of upper respiratory tract infections with olive polyphenols. The investigators would like to study if participants following oromucosal immunomodulation with tiny quantities of high polyphenolic olive oil (early harvest olive oil) could have more possibilities to have less severe symptoms and a better outcome after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

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.

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.

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.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: High polyphenolic olive oil
Participants were required to take 2 mL of early harvest olive oil (normal early harvest olive oil) twice a day for three months and went through a clinical questionnaire at days 15, 30, 60 and 90. Participants were sent an envelope closed with instructions and informed consent. The primary outcome was to determine the effect of high polyphenolic olive oil on Coronavirus disease incidence, duration and severity. This study was approved by the independent ethic committee of the Hospital Nuestra Señora del Prado in Talavera de la Reina, belonging to the National Health System in Spain, and conducted in accordance with Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. This questionnaire consisted in asking about having symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, fever, low fever, malaise, headache, loss of smell, runny nose, sore throat.
Dietary supplement: High polyphenolic olive oil. (Early harvest olive oil).
High polyphenolic olive oil is normal olive oil obtained from early harvest olives, this early harvest olive oil has been widely used for culinary purposes for centuries. The investigators wanted to study if oromucosal immunoprophylaxis with small quantities of high polyphenolic olive oil (2 mL of olive oil equivalent to 5 mg of polyphenols) adiministered twice a day could have clinical mitigating effects on the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.The primary outcome was to determine the effect of high polyphenolic olive oil on Coronavirus disease incidence, duration and severity.
No Intervention: No intervention
Participants were required to complete a questionnaire at days 15, 30, 60 and 90 of the study. This questionnaire consisted in asking about having symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, fever, low fever, malaise, headache, loss of smell, runny nose, sore throat.

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
Incidence.
Time Frame: 3 months.
High polyphenolic olive oil immunoprophylaxis intervention and incidence of COVID-19.
3 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.
