About this study

Official title: Effect of Two Doses of Pomanox® Pomegranate Extract Consumption on Skin Ageing. Randomized, Parallel, Placebo Controlled and Triple Blind Clinical Trial (POMASKIN).

The state of skin health impacts not only on the general health of individuals, but also on mental health. Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is one of the main external factors that causes skin ageing, producing photo-aging, characterized by multiple alterations in the skin such as the appearance of wrinkles, dryness, erythema, alterations in the pigmentation, inflammation and increased fragility.

Several studies show that polyphenols extracts, including pomegranate extracts, have beneficial effects on various skin characteristics induced by photoaging by modulating internal factors that lead to changes associated with photoaging. Among these internal factors are oxidative stress, glycation stress caused by an accumulation of advances glycation end-products (AGEs), inflammation, and the composition of the intestinal and skin microbiota.

Pomanox® is a polyphenolic extract derived from pomegranate for which antioxidant activity and positive effects on the metabolism of collagen and hyaluronic acid have been shown in previous in vitro studies.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis of the study is that the consumption of Pomanox®P30 will have beneficial effects on skin ageing in humans through the modulation of the metabolism of collagen, hyaluronic acid and the inflammatory system, the inhibition of the production of reactive oxygen species and AGEs, and/or changes in the intestinal and skin microbiota composition.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of consuming two doses of Pomanox®P30 on hyperpigmented skin spots in humans.

The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effects of consuming two doses of Pomanox®P30 on other parameters related to skin ageing (wrinkles, elasticity, erythema index, hydration, pores, acne and keratin), on different markers of collagen and hyaluronic acid metabolism, oxidative stress, the anti-glycan effect and the inflammatory system, and on the composition of the intestinal and skin microbiota.

A randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled, single-center, triple-blind clinical trial with a 1:1:1 ratio between interventions with 66 participants will be conducted.

Each participant will make 4 visits:

  • A pre-selection visit (to check inclusion/exclusion criteria) (V0), and if the eligibility criteria are met,
  • 3 study visits during the consumption of the treatments, which will take place on the first day of the study (V1), at 29 days of treatment (V2) and at 85 days of treatment (V3).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 367 mg Pomanox group and 700 mg Pomanox group in people with Skin Ageing, run by Fundació Eurecat at 2 sites in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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 30 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Spain. 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?

Change in skin melanin index. (time frame: At day 1 (visit V1), day 29 (visit 2) and day 85 (visit 3).). 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 30 Oct 2024.
