Numerous observational studies have found the association between high cocoa intake and a reduced CVD risk and mortality, yet the impact of these mechanisms in vivo is unclear. In order to have a beneficial effect, these cocoa flavan-3-ols must be absorbed in the body in a forms, while still maintaining its advantageous characteristics. Consumption studies with ileostomists who have had their colon removed,provide information regarding the bioavailability and bioactivity of (-)-epicatechin and flavan-3-ols from cocoa, therefore the aim of this study is to determine the impact of methylaxanthines (including theobromine) on bioavailability of cocoa flavan-3-ols prior to entering the colon.\n\nThis study has a randomised double blinded crossover control design, being applied to ileostomy patients who are aged 18-65 years, N=10, 5 per group. The study is divided into two phases. During the first phase, subjects will partake in a 2-day restriction diet (No phenolic foods) and an overnight fast prior to sampling. Ileal fluid (0hr) is obtained from participants. They will then be asked to consume the cocoa flavanol beverage dissolved in 310g 1% milk. After this urine and ieal fluid is collected every 4 hours at 3 more time points and blood every hour at 8 time points. A 24 hr urine and ieal fluid sample is collected the following day. There will be a 1-week wash out period between each phase. Procedure is repeated again for phase 2.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Undergone an ileostomy and be more than 1.5-years post-operative\n* Male or female\n* Aged between 18-65 years\n* Non-smoking\n* Not lactose/milk/dairy intolerant\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Has not undergone an ileostomy and/or is less than 1.5 year post-operative\n* Pregnant/ lactating females\n* Smokers\n* Lactose/milk/diary intolerant'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03765606', 'briefTitle': 'Cocoa Ileostomy Study', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Ulster'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Bioavailability of Cocoa Flavan-3-ols and Interaction With the Methylxanthine, Theobromine: a Study With Ileostomists', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'UREC/18/0007'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix', 'description': 'Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix (flavanols, 566mg; caffeine, 11mg \\& theobromine, 93mg)', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'De-xanthinated Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix', 'description': 'De-xanthinated Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix (flavanols, 583mg; caffeine, 0.6mg \\& theobromine, 0.2mg)', 'interventionNames': ['Dietary Supplement: De-xanthinated Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'Acute consumption of single portion of cocoa powder dissolved in 310g 1% milk.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix']}, {'name': 'De-xanthinated Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix', 'type': 'DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT', 'description': 'Acute consumption of single portion of cocoa powder dissolved in 310g 1% milk.', 'armGroupLabels': ['De-xanthinated Cocoa Flavanol beverage mix']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'BT52 1SA', 'city': 'Coleraine', 'state': 'Co.Londonderry', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'facility': 'Human Intervention Studies Unit, Ulster University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 55.13333, 'lon': -6.66667}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Ulster', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'University of California, Davis', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
