Trial summary

Adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) serves as the sole energy source for muscle contraction. Therefore human performance of brief maximal exercise is limited, in part, by the availability of ATP to the contracting muscle. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Oral ATP on Human Muscle Performance

Adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) serves as the sole energy source for muscle contraction. Therefore human performance of brief maximal exercise is limited, in part, by the availability of ATP to the contracting muscle. Because muscle ATP storage is small (enough to sustain maximal exercise for less than 1 second), factors that enhance either storage or resynthesis of ATP may have a positive impact on repeated muscle contractions. The current study will test the hypothesis that increasing ATP availability to muscle via oral supplementation will improve performance of repeated high intensity exercise as measured by a) work performed in each of the three 50 contraction fatigue tests, b) sum of total work performed, and c) percentage decrement in total work from the first to third third 50 contraction test.

Read the detailed description

To date we have studied 10 subjects who have followed through with all 3 of the original interventions (Placebo, 250 mg PeakATP/d and 400 mg PeakATP/d). Currently we have received approval and are expanding the study with 5 additional subjects who will receive the Placebo, 400 mg PeakATP/d and the 400 mg PealATP/d plus proprietary blend interventions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PeakATP 250Dietary supplement

    The nutritional intervention provides for oral ingestion of 250 mg PeakATP per day

  • PlaceboDietary supplement

    Placebo capsules that are comparable in size and color to the active comparator for blinding purposes

  • PeakATP 400Dietary supplement

    The nutritional intervention provides for oral ingestion of 400 mg PeakATP per day

  • PeakATP 400 plus proprietary blendDietary supplement

    The nutritional intervention provides for oral ingestion of 400 mg PeakATP per day plus a proprietary blend of additional nutrients

What is being measured

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

  1. Work Performed

    The work and total work performed in 3 exercise fatigue tests given after 15 days of nutritional intervention.

    Measured: Measured after 15 days of intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Decrease in work performed in each successive test

    The decrease in total work performed in each of 3 successive fatigue tests will be measured and used as a measure of muscle fatigability after 15 days of nutritional intervention

    Measured: Measured after 15 days of intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PeakATP 250, PeakATP 400 and PeakATP 400 plus proprietary blend in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Metabolic Technologies Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 10 Jan 2012. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Work Performed (time frame: Measured after 15 days of intervention). 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 10 Jan 2012.
