About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Study to Evaluate the Effects of a Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate Formulation on Inflammation/Discomfort in Individuals Who Are Generally Healthy

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation on inflammation/discomfort and overall well-being in male and female subjects who are generally healthy

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single-arm remote study to evaluate the effects of a Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate formulation on inflammation/discomfort and overall well-being in individuals who are generally healthy. Each subject will receive a specific dose of the study products to be taken once daily for a total of 60 days.

Participants complete assessments and questionnaires.

The primary objective is the evaluation of the change in the responses to the SF-36 (Short-Form-36) Health Survey, Medical Symptoms questionnaire, Pain questionnaire and responses on an assessment form relative to baseline.

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated through receipt of documentation and responses from the telephone contacts/emails as per protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate Formulation and Dietary Supplement in people with Inflammation, run by Supplement Formulators, 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 13 inclusion and 37 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 13 Jan 2023. 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. 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?

SF-36 (Short Form-36) Health Survey (time frame: 60 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04819646, which also lists 28 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 13 Jan 2023.
