The Gut-brain Axis in Food Reward and Alcohol Consumption
NCT01902069 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The aims of this project are to: 1. Determine if 3-weeks dietary supplementation with NOPE-EGCG (PhosphoLEANtm, 85mg NOPE+50mg EGCG per capsule) versus a placebo will improve performance on impulsivity, go/no-go tasks and negative outcome learning in heavy drinkers. 2. Evaluate whether supplementation with NOPE-EGCG versus placebo results in reductions in alcohol consumption. 3. Preliminary data in the rodent model suggests that rats treated with OEA shift preference for lower fat test stimuli. In aim 3 we will Determine if 3-weeks of supplementation with PhosphoLEAN shifts fat preference towards lower fat test puddings.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01902069
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01902069 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 29 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Yale University, which has 1,283 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Alcohol Consumption appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo 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: NCT01902069 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Connecticut. 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.
