About this study

Official title: Effects of MIB-626 (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) With and Without A High-Intensity Multi-Dimensional Exercise Training Program on Physical Performance, Muscle Bioenergetics, and Neuropsychological Performance in Highly Fit Young Adults

A single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study in community dwelling, healthy, regularly exercising, highly physically fit men and women, 19 to 40 years. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either 1000 mg NMN or placebo twice daily for 10 weeks.

Read the detailed description

The study participants will be screened for potential participation and those meeting eligibility criteria on screening will be offered participation in the study. 120 subjects will be block randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, stratified by sex (male, female) and baseline VO2 max. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups using a 2 by 2 factorial design: Group 1 - MIB-626 (MIB-626 - UPA) plus usual physical activity; Group 2 - standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise plus placebo (PL-Ex); Group 3 - MIB-626 plus standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise (MIB-626-Ex); Group 4 - placebo plus usual physical activity (PL-UPA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Investigational Product - MIB 626, Standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise and Usual Physical Activity in people with Healthy, run by Metro International Biotech, LLC 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 11 inclusion and 20 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 21 Jan 2026. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Change in Aerobic capacity from baseline to week 11, identified as VO2 max measured during a standardized increasing work rate treadmill protocol (time frame: 11 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 21 Jan 2026.
