What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Crystalline glucosamine sulfateDietary supplement
A maximum single dose of 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate in a caplet.
Regular glucosamine sulfateDietary supplement
A maximum single dose of 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate in hard gel capsules.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Crystalline glucosamine sulfate | Experimental | Participants receive their treatment of crystalline glucosamine sulfate at a total dose of 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose. A washout period of 1 week between each treatment is used. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Crystalline glucosamine sulfate |
| Regular glucosamine sulfate | Experimental | Participants receive their treatment of regular glucosamine sulfate at a total dose of 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose. A washout period of 1 week between each treatment is used. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Regular glucosamine sulfate |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
AUC: the area under the concentration-time curve
To determine the gastrointestinal absorption of orally ingested glucosamine sulfate in healthy adult volunteers and compare the Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) with that of other capsules containing glucosamine sulfate.
Measured: 0 (baseline; pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24 hours (post-dose)
Cmax: maximum plasma concentration
To determine the gastrointestinal absorption of orally ingested glucosamine sulfate in healthy adult volunteers and compare the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) with that of other capsules containing glucosamine sulfate.
Measured: 0 (baseline; pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24 hours (post-dose)
Tmax: the time point of maximum plasma concentration
To determine the gastrointestinal absorption of orally ingested glucosamine sulfate in healthy adult volunteers and compare the time point of maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) with that of other capsules containing glucosamine sulfate.
Measured: 0 (baseline; pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24 hours (post-dose)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Crystalline glucosamine sulfate and Regular glucosamine sulfate in people with Bioavailability and Pharmacokinetics, run by Isura at 1 site in Canada.
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 3 inclusion and 5 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 22 May 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 Canada. 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?
AUC: the area under the concentration-time curve (time frame: 0 (baseline; pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24 hours (post-dose)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 May 2025.
