About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Arm Clinical Trial of De-Stress & Chill Gummies in Reducing Stress and Anxiety, and Improving Mood in Adults

The current study focuses on clinical validation of efficacy of nutraceutical product in reduction of stress,anxiety and improving mood in adults. Adults experiencing chronic stress and anxiety often suffer from a reduced quality of life, marked by symptoms such as irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. By integrating these gummies into their daily routine, many report noticeable improvements in their emotional and mental state. These enhancements can manifest as increased energy levels, better sleep quality, and a more balanced mood, which collectively contribute to a more positive outlook on life.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, comparative, multicenter, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of De-Stress and Chill Gummies in reducing stress and anxiety, and improving mood in adults.

In this study, more than 72 participants will be enrolled and randomized into one of the following groups to achieve at least 72 completers (at least 24 participants in each group): Group A: De-Stress and Chill Gummies-U001, Group B: De-Stress and Chill Gummies-I001, and Group C: Placebo Gummies-001, in a 1:1:1 ratio. The study duration is 68 days. The efficacy of the investigational products will be compared between the groups.

Concomitant diseases/medication assessment will be performed at screening.

Assessment of changes in perceived stress scale (PSS) score, LDH and creatine kinase levels, body weight and BMI, mental chatter score using 5-point scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score, COPE Questionnaire (a. Positive Subscale b. Denial Subscale) score, STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) score, visual analogue scale score- for evaluation of fatigue, nausea, palpitation, breathlessness, will be done at screening, day 30 and day 60. Assessment of changes in serum cortisol levels will be done at screening, day 15 and day 60. Assessment of changes in serotonin levels will be done at screening, day 30 and day 45. Assessment of changes in Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire score (a. Total Mood Disturbance b. Depression) will be done at screening, day 15, day 30, and day 60. Assessment of modified sleep regularity and medication withdrawal questionnaire (MSRMWQ) score after stopping treatment for 1 week (day 68).

Assessment of changes in vital sign parameters will be done at baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 45, and Day 60. Assessment of changes in complete blood count, liver function test and kidney function test at screening and Day 60. Safety of the investigational treatment in terms of adverse events (AEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed at baseline, Day 15, Day 30, Day 45 and Day 60. Treatment compliance and tolerability will be assessed at Day 30 and Day 60.

What is being measured

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

  1. Perceived Stress Scale

    The PSS-10 is widely used for measuring psychological distress. It contains 10 questions on a five-point scale from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the feeling of stress. PSS-10 Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  2. Changes in Creatine kinase

    Blood level of Creatine kinase was measured. (U/L)

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  3. Changes in Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)

    Blood level Lactate dehydrogenase of was measured. (U/L)

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  4. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated using the standard formula from participants' height and weight. BMI = (Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches x Height in inches)) x 703

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  5. Mental chatter 5-point scale

    Grading will be assessed on a 5-point ordinal scale. Score assessment according to the following- 1-High mental chatter, 2-Moderate mental chatter, 3-Less but frequent mental chatter, 4-less and rare mental chatter, 5-no mental chatter

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  6. Assessment of anxiety using Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)

    Participants will be interviewed by mental health professionals using the clinically validated Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, which has a score range of 0 to 56, where higher scores are associated with higher severity anxiety.

    Score as per below criteria: 0 = Not present, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe, 4 = Very severe. Total score range of 0-56, where <17 indicates mild severity 18-24 mild to moderate severity 25-30 moderate to severe.

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  7. COPE Questionnaire

    Problem-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aimed at changing the stressful situation. High scores are indicative of psychological strength, grit, a practical approach to problem solving and is predictive of positive outcomes.

    Emotion-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aiming to regulate emotions associated with the stressful situation. High or low scores are not uniformly associated with psychological health or ill health, but can be used to inform a wider formulation of the respondent's coping styles.

    Avoidant Coping: A high score indicates physical or cognitive efforts to disengage from the stressor. Low scores are typically indicative of adaptive coping.

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  8. STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)

    STAI: State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory-Score This test consists of 20 items and assesses the current state of anxiety in relation to the current situation in which the patient is to the current situation in which the patient finds herself (State Anxiety) and the general anxiety state existing state of anxiety, which represents a part of her personality (Trait Anxiety).

    The sum score has a range from 20-80. Its interpretation with respective score are discussed below:

    mild anxiety (20 to 39); moderate anxiety (40 to 59); intense anxiety (60 to 80).

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  9. visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale score- for evaluation of fatigue, nausea, palpitation, breathlessness A higher score (10) represents severe symptoms and a lower score (0) represents no symptoms.

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 60

  10. Changes in serum cortisol levels

    The cortisol secretion will be evaluated by measuring morning serum cortisol levels.

    Measured: Screening, day 15, day 60

  11. Change in serum serotonin levels

    The serotonin secretion will be evaluated by measuring morning serum serotonin levels.

    Measured: Screening, day 30, day 45

  12. Changes in Modified sleep regularity and medication withdrawal questionnaire (MSRMWQ)

    The Modified Sleep Regularity and Medication Withdrawal Questionnaire (MSRMWQ) is a tool designed to assess changes in sleep patterns and the impact of medication withdrawal on sleep. Total score categories: Part I 00-10 = Poor sleep regularity 21-30 = Better sleep regularity 11-20 = Good sleep regularity 31-40 = Excellent sleep regularity Parameter-wise scoring by 4 point Linkert scale: Part II 0 = No symptom

    1. = Resolved symptom
    2. = Ongoing symptoms requiring no medical assistance
    3. = Ongoing symptoms requiring medical assistance

    Measured: After stopping treatment for 1 week (day 68)

  13. Change in mood assessed using the Profile of Mood States (POMS)

    The Profile of Mood States (POMS) is a widely used instrument that measures mood using a 40 item questionnaire with each item rated using a response scale of five categories ranging from "not at all" to "Extremely". Higher score indicates worse mood. Total POMS score categories and stress inference:0-40 = A little; 81-120= Quite a lot; 41-80= Moderately; 121-160= Extremely.

    Measured: Screening, day 15, day 30, day 60
