Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TOTUM-448 in people with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, run by Valbiotis at 1 site in Canada.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 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 Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Véronique Sapone, MSc (+33 (0)6 75 32 66 59, veronique.sapone@valbiotis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evolution of liver fat content (time frame: Baseline (V1) and End of supplementation after 16 weeks of supplementation (V3)). 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 NCT06704321.

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 26 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
