About this study

Official title: The Effect of Ophicephalus Striatus Extract on Levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), Albumin, and Mini Nutritional Assessment Score in Elderly Patients With Malnutrition: A Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of Ophiocephalus striatus extract in elderly patients with malnutrition. The measured outcomes are the level of IGF-1, albumin, and MNA score.

Read the detailed description

This research was conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital and M. Djamil General Hospital, in collaboration with Biomedical Laboratory Faculty of Medicine University of Andalas and Prodia Laboratory, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria were elderly patients (≥ 60 y.o.) with malnutrition (MNA score ≤ 23,5) and hypoalbuminaemia (< 3,5 g/dL), had been treated, and permitted to leave from the hospital. All participants had been interviewed and physically examined to measure the anthropometric profile. Investigators also measured participant's Activity of Daily Living ADL Barthel, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) to assess participant's compliance for consuming Ophiocephalus striatus extract. Blood samples were obtained to measure participant's level of IGF-1 and albumin before intervention.

Recruited-randomized participants were classified into two groups (control and intervention) with double-blind scheme. Intervention group was given the extract 5 grams two times/day for two weeks. After two weeks, all participants were invited back to out-patient clinic in hospital. MNA score was measured after the intervention. Blood sample were obtained again to know if there were any changes in IGF-1 level and albumin level.

Finally, investigators analyzed results to generate the conclusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum IGF-1

    IGF-1 will be measured from blood serum. The level will be compared between intervention and control group (ng/mL)

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Serum albumin

    Albumin will be measured from blood serum. The level will be compared between intervention and control group (g/dL)

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. MNA score

    MNA score was measured from direct anamnesis to the patient (or family) and anthropometric profile.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ophiochepalus striatus extract in people with Malnutrition, run by Universitas 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 28 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Serum IGF-1 (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Feb 2017.
