About this study

Official title: Short-term Effects of Hesperidin on Bone Biomarkers in Postmenopausal Women: a Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the effects of hesperidin on biochemical markers of bone in post-menopausal women.

The secondary objectives are:

  • To investigate changes in bone formation and bone resorption markers in response to hesperidin intake
  • To compare the efficacy of hesperidin in a milk versus biscuit
  • To collect safety information of hesperidin consumption in a human trial
Being tested
Hesperidin
Medical subject headings
Bone Diseases, Metabolic, Osteoporosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HesperidinOther

    250 mg of hesperidin twice a day taken oraly in a biscuit or in milk for 6 months

Study groups in NCT00545116
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
aExperimentalActive carrier 1: biscuit providing 250 mg hesperidin per piece(6g)
Receives: Other: Hesperidin
bExperimentalActive carrier 2: liquid skim milk providing 250 mg hesperidin/serve (200 ml) and containing around 300 mg calcium/serving
Receives: Other: Hesperidin
cPlacebo comparatorPlacebo carrier 1: biscuit with the same nutrient composition and appearance as the active biscuit carrier but minus hesperidin
Receives: Other: Hesperidin
dPlacebo comparatorPlacebo carrier 2: liquid skim milk with the same nutrient composition and appearance as the active milk carrier but minus hesperidin
Receives: Other: Hesperidin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage change from baseline for bone formation (serum P1NP & osteocalcin) and bone resorption (urinary NTX & serum CTX) markers

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Full blood biochemistry analyses including lipid profile

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Percentage change from baseline for osteoarthritis markers (CTX2 and others)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Hesperidin in people with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Malaysia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Malaysia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage change from baseline for bone formation (serum P1NP & osteocalcin) and bone resorption (urinary NTX & serum CTX) markers (time frame: Six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2015.
