Therapeutic Effects of Cinnamon-Enriched Cookies on Hypercholesterolemia and Liver Function

An interventional study of Treatment group T1 in Hyperlipidaemia, Liver Biomarkers and Weight Change, sponsored by University of Lahore. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 45 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-31.

Hyperlipidemias — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.

Hypercholesterolemia
Why
  1. The study's title name Hypercholesterolemia, a narrower term within Hyperlipidemias.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Cinnamon-enriched cookies were developed and evaluated for their sensory acceptability and potential as a functional food for adults with hyperlipidemia. The findings suggest that incorporating cinnamon into cookies alongside conventional therapy may support cardiovascular and liver health while offering a palatable dietary intervention.

Read the detailed description

This study developed cinnamon-enriched cookies as a functional food and evaluated their sensory acceptability, physical characteristics, and potential health benefits in adults with hyperlipidemia receiving conventional therapy. The findings highlight the potential of cinnamon-enriched cookies as a convenient, acceptable, and food-based dietary strategy to support cardiovascular and liver health, encouraging the development of functional bakery products for managing hyperlipidemia.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2024 to primary completion in Jun 2024, 1 month.

Of 133 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hypercholesterolemia, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 36. This study's 1 month is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 151 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 35.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 31, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
