Clinical Trial on Rapid Immune Modulating Effects

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Immune Surveillance
Registration Number
NCT07206407
Lead Sponsor
Natural Immune Systems Inc
Brief Summary

The goal for this clinical trial is to document rapid effects of a nutritional blend on immune cells. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study design will be used.

Detailed Description

Clinical trial comparing the acute immune effects of a nutraceutical blend, and a placebo. The nutraceutical blend is based on low molecular weight peptides isolated from cow colostrum ultrafiltrate, mushroom extracts, and vitamin C.

24 subjects will participate in a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study design, wherein they will be consuming placebo or the active nutraceutical blend, separated by a 1-week washout period.

Baseline blood samples are taken 1 hour after participants arrive; the dose is then administered. Additional blood samples are taken 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours following consumption of test product.

  • Taking anti-inflammatory medications on a daily basis;
  • Currently experiencing intense stressful events/ life changes;
  • Currently in intensive athletic training (such as marathon runners);
  • Currently taking antipsychotic medications such as clozapine, Risperdal, Abilify, Zyprexa or Seroquel;
  • An unusual sleep routine (examples: working graveyard shift, irregular routine with frequent late nights, studying, partying);

Study & Design

Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
CROSSOVER
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Immune cell surveillance3 hours after consuming a test product for this study protocol

Observation of changes in immune cell trafficking, i.e., the changes in immune cell numbers in the peripheral blood following administration. Data is collected as 'cell numbers per uL whole blood' for the following immune cell types:

* Monocytes

* NK cells

* NKT cells

* T cells

* non-NK nonT cells

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Immune cell activation status3 hours after consuming a test product for this study protocol

Observation of immune cell status of alertness, i.e., the changes in the expression of CD25 and CD69. Data is collected as 'mean fluorescence intensity' for the following immune cell types:

* Monocytes

* NK cells

* NKT cells

* T cells

* nonNK nonT cells
