Clinical trials: Age-related Muscle Loss
Age-Related Sarcopenia, Muscle Loss
Impact of Protein and Alkali Supplementation on Skeletal Muscle in Older Adults
The central hypothesis is that higher protein intake and a neutralizing alkaline salt supplement will improve muscle performance and mass, compared to their respective placebos, in older men and postmenopausal women.

HIV, Aging
Angiotensin Receptors and Age Related Mitochondrial Decline in HIV Patients
This study is designed to evaluate specific factors in mitochondria that may precipitate premature aging and physical weakness in HIV patients. Angiotensin receptors 1 and 2 (AT1R and AT2R) are found in virtually every cell type.
- Conditions
- HIV, Aging, Sarcopenia, Angiotensin Receptor Antagonists
- Trial name
- RAS-HIV (NCT02606279)
- Testing
- valsartan
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 1 people

Weakness, Muscle, Delirium in Old Age
YOOMI: Effect of Gamified Physical Therapy Exercise Software on Inpatient Mobility
Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss.
- Conditions
- Weakness, Muscle, Delirium in Old Age, Muscle Atrophy or Weakness, Muscle Loss
- Trial name
- YOOMI (NCT05815017)
- Testing
- Yoomi Physical Therapy Software
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 30 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Sarcopenia, Gait Disorders in Old Age
A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized INTerventional Clinical Trial (SARA-INT)
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of two daily doses of BIO101 versus placebo on mobility function as measured by gait speed using the 400MW test.
- Conditions
- Sarcopenia, Gait Disorders in Old Age, Muscle Weakness
- Trial name
- SARA-INT (NCT03452488)
- Testing
- BIO101
- Where
- 22 sites in United States, Belgium
- Volunteers
- 233 people

Muscle Loss, Fractures
Musculoskeletal Effects of Bicarbonate
With aging, men and women develop a mild and progressive metabolic acidosis. This occurs as a result of declining renal function and ingestion of acid-producing diets.
- Conditions
- Muscle Loss, Fractures, Osteoporosis, Age Related, Fall Injury
- Trial name
- NCT01475214
- Testing
- potassium bicarbonate
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 244 people, healthy volunteers welcome
