About this study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a functional yogurt powder on menopausal, middle-aged women at high risk of osteoporosis. The functional yogurt powder containing Calcium, D, K, C vitamins, Zn, Mg, L-leucin and the Lactobacillus plantarum 3547 probiotic, was developed to benefit bone health and in the long term may contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

Randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a functional yogurt powder on bone health biomarkers in menopause, middle-aged women at high risk of osteoporosis.

78 volunteers will be recruited at the La Paz University Hospital of Madrid. Participants should meet the next inclusion criteria: being menopausal, aged between 50 and 65 years, IMC≥18.5 <35 Kg/m2 and having a diagnosis of osteopenia without pharmacological treatment (Volunteers without osteopenia diagnosis should meet two of the next: dairy intake under 2 servings a day, sedentary lifestyle and/or smokers of more than 5 cigarettes a day).

Participants will be randomized in two arms:

  1. Functional yogurt powder arm: they will receive over 24 weeks a daily serving of the functional yogurt powder containing Calcium, D, K, C vitamins, Zn, Mg, L-leucin and the Lactobacillus plantarum 3547 probiotic.
  2. Control yogurt powder arm: they will receive over 24 weeks a daily serving of the control yogurt powder (not enriched).

All participants will be advised to follow a healthy diet and practice physical activity.

Follow up will include 3 individualized visits and 4 group visits to check the product intake compliance and the tolerance to the product. The primary outcome, vitamin D level, will be measured at the beginning (basal condition) and at the end of the intervention (24 weeks). Other bone health biomarkers (Parathyroid hormone (PTH) calcium, phosphorus, calcitonin, osteocalcin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH),osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, sclerostin,the N-terminal telopeptide (NTx) and C-terminal telopeptide CTx) and safety issues (transaminases and creatinine) will be measured at the same time points (0 and 24 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Functional yogurt powder in people with OSTEOPENIA, run by Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 22 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 14 Dec 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

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?

changes in plasma 25(OH)D concentration (time frame: 0 and 24 weeks). 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 14 Dec 2015.
