About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide on Muscle Recovery and Physical Capacity in Healthy Volunteers With Moderate Physical Activity

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of NMN supplementation (250 and 500 mg/day over 38 days) compared to placebo in healthy volunteers with moderate physical activity on muscle recovery, physical capacity, cardiorespiratory recovery, the perception of the arduousness of the effort, the variation in blood lactate levels before and after physical exercise, the perception of the intensity of post-exercise muscle pain (cramps), the body composition and Nicotinamide-Adenine Mononucleotide (NAD+) level in blood.

Being tested
Nicotinamide mononucleotide, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of muscle recovery

    Wingate Anaerobic Test (WANT) preformed post-endurance test (at 85% maximum aerobic speed)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in physical capacity

    physical capacity evaluated during an endurance test (at 85% maximum aerobic speed) by the maximum duration (time limit)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  2. Changes in cardiorespiratory recovery

    Measurement of blood pressure and heart rate at rest and at intervals of several minutes after the endurance test (at 85% maximum aerobic speed)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  3. Changes in the perception of the arduousness of the effort

    evaluated by the Borg scale during the endurance test (at 85% maximum aerobic speed)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  4. Changes in blood lactate levels before and after physical exercise

    blood lactate levels before and after the endurance test (at 85% maximum aerobic speed)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  5. Changes in the perception of the intensity of post-exercise muscle pain (cramps)

    post-exercise muscular pain in evaluated using a 7 points numerical scale, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the endurance test

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  6. Changes in the body composition

    fat mass, muscle mass, visceral fat, water mass determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

  7. Changes blood NAD+ levels

    Evaluation of cellular NAD+ concentration in blood from baseline to the end of study

    Measured: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nicotinamide mononucleotide in people with Physical Activity and Muscle Recovery, run by Seneque SA 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 17 Jan 2024. 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?

Evolution of muscle recovery (time frame: before and after 21 and 38 days of treatment). 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 17 Jan 2024.
