Effect of a Specific Phenolic Compound on Blood Pressure (PHENOLPRESS)

Randomized, Cross-over, Double Blinded, Placebo-controlled Study for the Evaluation of the Postprandial Effect of a Specific PHENOLic Compound on Blood PRESSure

The study's main objective is to investigate the effects of acute consumption of a preparation containing 100 mg of a specific phenolic compound (patent pending, P201531587) on systolic BP after ingestion of a high fat meal.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Blood Pressure; Cardiovascular Risk Factors
• Intervention / Treatment: Dietary supplement: placebo; Dietary supplement: phenolic compound

Detailed Description

The study's main objective is to investigate the effects of acute consumption of a preparation containing 100 mg of a specific phenolic compound (patent pending, P201531587) on systolic blood pressure (BP) after ingestion of a high fat meal.

The secondaries objectives are:

• To evaluate the effects on diastolic BP.
• To study the phenolic compound bioavailability and to analyze its metabolites for determine the phenolic compound consumption biomarkers.
• To evaluate the effects on endothelial function by ischemic reactive hyperemia (IRH).

The sample size was calculated using a previous studies using systolic blood pressure (SBP) as the primary outcome measure. A total of 14 subjects are needed, assuming variance components of approximately 20.0, to detect differences between treatments (placebo and phenolic product) of 10 mmHg, with a bilateral significance level of α=0.05, a power of 80% and a standard deviation of 11.82 mmHg at the baseline.

To compare the main variable efficiency of the products of study as well as secondary variables of efficiency, will carry out analysis of the covariance (ANCOVA) with basal value as covariable, followed by the Tukey test for determining multiple differences. All tests will be carried out with significance to bilateral level of 5%. It is considered significant value p<0,05. The data will be analyzed using the "SPSS" program version 22.

The statistical analysis will follow the principles specified in the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E9 and CPMP/EWP/908/99 ICH E9 Points to Consider on Multiplicity Issues in Clinical Trials.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change of Systolic Blood Pressure	During each visit (2 visits in total), systolic BP will be measured after 10 min in a seated position in a comfortable room by the physician. The measurement will be taken in triplicate at 1-min intervals using an automatic sphygmomanometer (OMRON HEM-907; PEROXFARMA, Barcelona, Spain). The first measurement will be discarded and the final result will be the average of the other measurements.. The research team will mesure the change in the evolution of systolic blood pressure between visits (at least 1 week between visits).	In each visit (2 visits in total), systolic blood pressure will be measured at baseline (0 min) and 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and 360 minutes after the ingestion of a fat load and the supplement.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Diastolic Blood Pressure	During each visit (2 visits in total), diastolic BP will be measured after 10 min in a seated position in a comfortable room by the physician. The measurement will be taken in triplicate at 1-min intervals using an automatic sphygmomanometer (OMRON HEM-907; PEROXFARMA, Barcelona, Spain). The first measurement will be discarded and the final result will be the average of the other measurements.. The research team will mesure the change in the evolution of diastolic blood pressure between visits (at least 1 week between visits).	In each visit (2 visits in total), diastolic blood pressure will be measured at baseline (0 min) and 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and 360 minutes after the ingestion of a fat load and the supplement.
Ischemic reactive hyperemia (IRH)	The endothelial-dependent vasomotor functions will be measured as IRH by a Laser-Doppler linear PERIFLUX 5000 flowmeter (PERIMED AB, Stockholm, Sweden)	In each visit (2 visits in total), at 0, 120, 240 and 360 minutes
Bioavailability of phenolic compound in plasma samples	The phenolic compound bioavailability will be analysed in all volunteers and according to the technical reference at the time of its determination, as it may be to analyse automatic, ELISA kits, or other techniques.	In each visit (2 visits in total), at 0, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and 360 minutes (heparin lithium plasma)
Bioavailability of phenolic compound in urine	The phenolic compound bioavailability will be analysed according to the technical reference at the time of its determination, as it may be to analyse automatic, ELISA kits, or other techniques	In each visit (2 visits in total), at 0, 180 and 360 minutes (total urine)
