Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1, double blind, randomized, controlled, cross-over trial.

The primary outcome is to quantify the incremental area-under-the-concentration-curve (iAUC) for plasma caffeine after oral consumption of caffeinated beverages with various bioactive compounds vs. caffeine alone, in 16 healthy volunteers

Secondary outcomes are caffeine concentration at each time point from pre-dose baseline to 3.5 hrs post-dose, peak caffeine concentration (Cmax), time to maximum caffeine concentration (Tmax) and return to baseline concentration (TBR) for plasma caffeine

Other outcomes are ratings of physiological symptoms and mood, assessed using visual analog scales (VAS).

Polyphenol food frequency questionnaire data at screening will be collected as a possible co-variate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Incremental area-under-the-concentration-curve (iAUC) [At each of 4 testing days, -30 and 0 min pre-dose, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 minutes post-dose]

   Plasma caffeine level

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Caffeine concentration [At each of 4 testing days, -30 and 0 min pre-dose, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 minutes post-dose]

   Plasma caffeine level

2. Peak caffeine concentration (Cmax) [At each of 4 testing days, -30 and 0 min pre-dose, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 minutes post-dose]

   Plasma caffeine level

3. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) [At each of 4 testing days, -30 and 0 min pre-dose, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 minutes post-dose]

   Plasma caffeine level

4. Return to baseline concentration (TBR) [At each of 4 testing days, -30 and 0 min pre-dose, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 minutes post-dose]

   Plasma caffeine level

5. Physiological Symptoms [At each of 4 testing days pre-dose, and 60 min, 120 min, and 210 min post-dose]

   VAS scale, 9 terms, each rated on a 100 mm line from "Not at all" to "Extremely'. Example, not at all irritable is better than extremely irritable.

6. Bond-Lader Mood [At each of 4 testing days pre-dose, and 60 min, 120 min, and 210 min post-dose]

   VAS scale,16 terms, each rated on a 100 mm line. Example, relaxed is better than tense.
