SARCOPENIA IN ELDERLY

This Phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called IN-207907 in 100 elderly people with sarcopenia, a condition causing muscle loss and weakness. Participants receive three doses of the drug or a placebo by IV every four weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug improves physi…

This study tests a volunteer-led lifestyle program for older adults (60+) with sarcopenia, a condition causing muscle loss and weakness. The program includes workshops on nutrition and exercise, supported by nurses and trained volunteers. Researchers will measure changes in muscl…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal ointment, Peiyuan Guben Tongluo, can help elderly people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) increase muscle mass and strength. Sixty participants aged 60-80 will receive the ointment along with nutritional suppl…

This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition plan can help older patients (70+) avoid losing the ability to care for themselves during a hospital stay. About 360 patients from a geriatric ward will take part. The goal is to see if personalized resistance and mobil…

This observational study will compare muscle strength between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the body in 140 older adults aged 65 and older, both with and without sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Researchers will measure handgrip, biceps, and quadriceps strength to s…

This study looks at whether combining handgrip strength tests, body composition scans, and thigh ultrasound can better detect acute sarcopenia—a rapid loss of muscle mass and function—in older adults hospitalized for acute medical conditions. Researchers will follow 280 patients …

This study at Montpellier University Hospital will look at whether low muscle mass and strength before hip replacement surgery affects how well people aged 75 and older regain their independence. About 20 volunteers will have blood tests, scans, and a tiny muscle sample taken dur…
