What participants receive

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

  • Dietary protein productsDietary supplement

    Increased protein intake via dairy products, guided by a dietician.

  • Resistance exercise trainingOther

    Resistance exercise training in small groups for twelve weeks, two times a week, guided by physiotherapists.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of intervention implementation

    Feasibility includes acceptability, applicability, dose received and implementation integrity. Collected in both participants and implementing health care professionals

    Measured: After 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in skeletal muscle mass, as measured by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  2. Change in physical performance, as measured by Short Physical performance Battery (SPPB), Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) and Six Minute Walking Test (6MWT)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  3. Change in muscle strength, as measured by a maximum strength test

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  4. Change in Quality of life, as measured by Short-Form 36 (SF-36)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  5. Change in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) functioning, as measured by ADL-questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary protein products and Resistance exercise training in people with Sarcopenia, run by Wageningen University at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 8 Oct 2015. 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 Netherlands. 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. 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?

Feasibility of intervention implementation (time frame: After 12 weeks). 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 NCT02434289, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2015.
