Brief Summary

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

A single-center, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study followed by an open-label phase to evaluate the effects of a new formulation of a supplement on lipid profile in subjects with mild hypercholesterolemia who are non-responsive to the Mediterranean diet.

The study population consists of 99 subjects with mild hypercholesterolemia who are non-responsive to the Mediterranean diet. The participants will be divided into three groups:

Group A: Test Product A (study product) Group B: Test Product B (comparative product) Placebo group: placebo

The following visits are scheduled during the study:

T-2 (day -35) - Screening visit, 5 weeks before T0 T-1 (day -28) - Enrollment visit, 4 weeks before T0 T0 (day 0) - Randomization visit, baseline T1 (day 56) - Interim visit, 8 weeks after T0 T2 (day 112) - Final visit, 16 weeks after T0 After the first 8 weeks of the study (double-blind), all three groups will continue with only Product A for an additional 8 weeks. This experimental design aims to highlight whether any differences between Test Product A and Test Product B observed during the first 8 weeks can be minimized when both arms receive the same treatment. Additionally, the effect of Product A will be observed at 8 and 16 weeks, thus providing efficacy data over a longer treatment period. This may also provide insights into the potential achievement of a plateau. Regarding the placebo group, it will be possible to distinguish the effect of the diet alone from the combined effect of the diet and supplementation with Test Product A.

Test Product A

Innovative formulation of dietary supplement

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Test Product A

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Innovative formulation of a dietary supplement for mild hypercholesterolemia. Test Product A will be admistered daily for 8 weeks. After the fist 8 weeks, this arm will continue with the intake of the Product Test A for other 8 weeks.

Test Product B

Classic formulation of dietary supplement

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Test Product B

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Classic formulation of a dietary supplement for mild hypercholesterolemia. After the fist 8 weeks, this arm will continue with the intake of the Product Test A for other 8 weeks.

Placebo

Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Placebo does not contain functional components and is indistinguishable from Product Test B.

After the fist 8 weeks, this arm will continue with the intake of the Product Test A for other 8 weeks.
