Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of fish oil supplement (containing parts of omega-3 fatty acids) on inflammation. The investigators are aiming to identify which dose of the fish oil supplement is the most effective. The name of the fish oil supplement is "SPM Emulsion."

Detailed Description

The OMEGA-SPM-DOSE trial and the OMEGA-SPM-PAD trial are two parts of a pilot study which aims to investigate the effect of a novel formulation of a nutritional supplement containing highly concentrated n-3 PUFA metabolites (SPM Emulsion) on the metabolo-lipidomic profile of healthy volunteers and patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease(PAD). Ten healthy volunteers and ten patients with PAD will participate in Part 1a, the "OMEGA-SPM-DOSE Study". A follow-up, placebo controlled, prospective study on the best dosing modality determined in Phase 1a will then take place in a PAD and OA population (n=12), Phase 1b - the "OMEGA-SPM-PAD Study". Specific measurements will include targeted metabolo-lipidomic profiling, established markers of inflammation, and functional monocyte and macrophage assays. The proposed studies have the potential to provide important new insights on the role of nutritional interventions in PAD.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Optimal Phase 1b DoseBaseline, Day 33

The smallest dose administered in Phase 1a participants which results in an increase in Resolution Index at least 3 times that of baseline, or the subsequent larger dose resulting in a Resolution Index greater than 2 times that of the preceding does with no increase in side effects at the larger dose.

Change in the Resolution IndexBaseline, Day 5

Integrated metabolo-lipidomics assessment of SPM pathways: Average concentration of 15-HEPE, 18-HEPE, 4-HDHA, and 17-HDHA in plasma.
