About this study

The goal of this Clinical Trial is to analyze effect of Ophiochepalus striatus extract on serum IGF-1 and IL-6 levels in elderly patients with sarcopenia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Can giving Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase IGF-1 levels in elderly people with sarcopenia?
  2. Can administration of 2x5 grams dose of Ophiocephalus striatus extract for 2 weeks reduce IL-6 levels in elderly with sarcopenia?
  3. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks reduce the SARC-F score in elderly people with sarcopenia?
  4. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle mass in elderly people with sarcopenia?
  5. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle strength in elderly people with sarcopenia?
  6. Can administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks improve physical performance in elderly with sarcopenia?

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Ophiochepalus striatus extract in people with Sarcopenia and Geriatric, run by Universitas Sriwijaya at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 31 Jan 2025. 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 Indonesia. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jan 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

IGF-1 Levels (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05869383, 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 31 Jan 2025.
