NUTRALYS® Pea Protein Oral Supplementation Effects on Muscle Mass
A study testing oral powder in sachet in people with Healthy, run by Nicolas Babault at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
this clinical trial would try to confirm whether NUTRALYS®, a fast pea protein with an intermediate profile, rich in leucines and other essential amino acids, can significantly enhance muscle mass gain during strength training. This study will compare the efficacy of NUTRALYS® to a reference product. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Controlled, Randomized, Parallel, Double-blind Study of the Effect of NUTRALYS® Pea Protein Supplementation Versus Whey Protein and Placebo on the Muscle Mass and Strength of Volunteers Engaged in Training
this clinical trial would try to confirm whether NUTRALYS®, a fast pea protein with an intermediate profile, rich in leucines and other essential amino acids, can significantly enhance muscle mass gain during strength training. This study will compare the efficacy of NUTRALYS® to a reference product. If the results of the study demonstrate a significant improvement in relation to the placebo, not inferior to that of whey, NUTRALYS® could be considered as an alternative to sports nutrition products, to which many people are intolerant.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing oral powder in sachet in people with Healthy, run by Nicolas Babault at 1 site in France.
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 5 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 1 May 2014. 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 France. 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.
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?
Biceps brachial thickness measured using ultrasonography (time frame: 12 weeks after first ingestion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02128516, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 1 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
