About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blinded, Placebo Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate Skin Attributes Following Dietary Supplement Consumption

The study is to assess skin attributes of female subjects following 16 weeks of dietary supplement consumption.

Read the detailed description

This is a 16 week, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study. Approximately 105 Caucasian and Asian (Korean, Japanese, or Chinese) female subjects will be enrolled. The following clinical assessments will be performed: (1)VISIA-CR™ digital photography; (2)AGE Reader SU measurements on the left cheek and left inner forearm; (3) Visual Analog Grading (VAS); (4) Corneometer measurements; and (5) Cutometer measurements. Subjects will return to the clinic at approximately 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 16 weeks from the baseline visit for similar measurements. A self-perception questionnaire will be administered at the conclusion of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of Skin Autofluoresence

    Change of accumulation of glycation as measured by validated autofluoresence measuring device (AGE Reader)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 16 weeks, change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Skin elasticity

    Relationship between elasticity and skin glycation; elasticity will be measured by cutometer

    Measured: Change from baseline to 16 weeks; change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low dose Polyphenol and High dose Polyphenol in people with Skin Condition, run by Access Business Group.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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 6 Apr 2018. 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.

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?

Change of Skin Autofluoresence (time frame: Change from baseline to 16 weeks, change from 8 weeks to 16 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 6 Apr 2018.
