Bioactive Plant Foods: Effects on Functional Bioavailability and Genomic Stability
NCT00963118 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
To achieve optimal health and to reduce the risk of age-related chronic diseases through an easily achievable dietary modification not achievable by the limited mixture of antioxidant supplements in older subjects, the investigators will focus their attention on the biological functions of bioactive plant food (Angelica keiskei and/or Glycine max) and its effect on genomic stability using noble assays. The investigators propose to study the ability of bioactive plant-based food (Nutrition bar made from Angelica keiskei and/or Glycine max) to 1) exert biological functions: increase total antioxidant performance, decrease oxidative stress in vivo, and 2) affect genomic stability: decrease DNA damage and modify DNA methylation. The investigators hypothesize that bioactive plant food (green leafy vegetable power, and/or black bean power) will exert biological functions and affect genomic stability far more efficiently than the limited mixture of purified antioxidant supplements in the vulnerable population, older subjects (\> 50 years, men and postmenopausal women) with and without metabolic syndrome.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00963118
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00963118 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 36 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Tufts University, which has 78 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Metabolic Syndrome appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which plant based nutrition bar is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00963118 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
