Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil or camelina oil can reduce inflammation and improve heart health in 324 adults over 55 at moderate to high cardiovascular risk. Participants take daily supplements for 12 weeks, and researchers measure changes in blood markers of inflammation and lipids. The goal is to find a practical dietary way to lower heart disease risk beyond standard treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Fish oil (DHA and EPA), camelina oil (ALA), and vitamin E
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple dietary supplements like fish or camelina oil help control inflammation and lower heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (324 people) over only 12 weeks, so results may not apply broadly. The effect on actual heart attacks or strokes is not being measured directly.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 324 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants are subjects \>55 y old from both sexes (\>=40% women) with moderate to high cardiovascular risk (ANNEX 1: SCORE2, SCORE2-OP and SCORE2-Diabetes assessment). Exclusion Criteria: * cardiovascular disease, * established atherosclerotic vascular disease involving the coronary, peripheral, carotid, or aortic territories (identified by computerized tomography (CT) of coronary arteries, MRI, carotid or peripheral ultrasound imaging), * chronic treatment with n-3 PUFA containing products (i.e., Vazkepa), * a condition that interferes with the possibility to follow the dietary intervention, such as fish allergy or being a vegan, * significant liver dysfunction, * participation in another intervention clinical study.
