Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the acute and longer term effects of a tomato pomace extract on platelet aggregation in health subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Evidence from human intervention trials and mechanistic studies suggests that tomato and tomato based products are associated with a reduction in CVD risk. The mechanism by which this protective effect occurs is not clearly understood but research has focused on its potential to modulate platelet function. This single-blind, randomized, parallel design human intervention trial will recruit 99 participants to consume an orange flavoured beverage containing different doses of a tomato pomace extract (1.0 and 2.5 g) or placebo control over a 5-day period. The study aims is to investigate the effects of consuming different doses of the tomato pomace extract on platelet aggregation. Safety and tolerability of the tomato pomace extracts was tested prior starting this study by undertaking a single ascending dose study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo control

100 g of flavoured water

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo control

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The placebo control is water containing a commercially available orange flavoured powder (Kool aid) which will be diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions

Low dose pomace extract

1 g pomace extract powder

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low dose pomace extract

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Immediately prior to ingestion, 'drinks' containing 1 g of tomato pomace extract will be prepared at the research facility. The water used to dilute the extract will be flavoured using a commercially available orange flavoured powder (Kool aid) which will be diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions before adding to the tomato pomace extract.

High dose pomace extract

2.5 g pomace extract powder

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High dose pomace extract

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Immediately prior to ingestion, 'drinks' containing 2.5 g of tomato pomace extract will be prepared at the research facility. The water used to dilute the extract will be flavoured using a commercially available orange flavoured powder (Kool aid) which will be diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions before adding to the tomato pomace extract.
