About this study

Official title: Determination of the Biological Activity of Enriched Serums on Healthy Volunteers After Consumption of the Kera-Diet® Ingredient, CnC2024 - Kera-Diet®

The main objective of this study is, after collecting serum enriched with metabolites of interest resulting from the ingestion of the Kera-Diet® food supplement, to determine the influence of these sera enriched with circulating metabolites (versus naïve sera) on the behavior of human cell cultures, placed under stress conditions or not, in order to evaluate the benefit of these metabolites in maintaining cellular functions.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Keratin hydrolysateDietary supplement

    The clinical study will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will aim at characterizing the metabolites present in human serum after consumption of the Kera-Diet® ingredient and at determining the overall absorption peak of the tested ingredient. The second phase will involve collecting sera enriched with metabolites at the absorption peak, following the ingestion of the ingredient. Subsequently, the final objective will be to characterize the influence of these sera enriched with metabolites of interest on the behavior of human skin cell and intestinal epithelial cell cultures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of the influence of human serums enriched with circulating metabolites on human cell cultures

    Determination of the influence of human serums enriched with circulating metabolites (versus naïve serums) on the behavior of human cell cultures exposed or not to stress conditions in order to evaluate the benefit of these metabolites in maintaining cellular functions.

    Measured: Determination of the absorption peak: kinetics will be determined by a blood draw at different time points (T0, T5, T10, T20, T30, T45, T60, T80, T100, T120, T140, T180, T240 minutes) over the 4 hours following the ingestion of the study product

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Keratin hydrolysate in people with Healthy, run by BCF Life Sciences at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2025. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Determination of the influence of human serums enriched with circulating metabolites on human cell cultures (time frame: Determination of the absorption peak: kinetics will be determined by a blood draw at different time points (T0, T5, T10, T20, T30, T45, T60, T80, T100, T120, T140, T180, T240 minutes) over the 4 hours following the ingestion of the study product). 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 10 Jan 2025.
