What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether two dietary supplements, HMB and 2-HOBA, can improve muscle mass, physical function, and overall health in adults aged 65 and older. Over 90 days, 120 participants will take one or both supplements or a placebo. Researchers will measure changes in muscle, fitness, and blood markers to see if these supplements support healthy aging.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) dietary supplements
What this could lead to
If successful, these supplements could help older adults maintain muscle strength and physical function, potentially slowing age-related decline.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Supplements may not show significant benefits or could cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: •. 65 years of age * English or French speaking * Females not of childbearing potential * Willing to maintain current lifestyle and dietary habits, including level of physical activity, allowed medication/supplements habits for the duration of the study Exclusion Criteria: * Known cardiac diseases, known arterial fibrillation, hepatic diseases, immune diseases (e.g. Individuals with an acute infectious disease, autoimmune disease or are immune compromised), ulcers, asthma, gout, severe anemia, hay fever, nasal polyps. * Chronic kidney disease \[estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 35 mL/min\]. * Neurological injury/disorder with significant persistent neurological or functional deficit (e.g., stroke with hemiparesis, spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, myopathy, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, peripheral polyneuropathy). * Neuropsychological condition and/or cognitive impairment that, in the QI's opinion, could interfere with study participation * History of confirmed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a severity grade \> 2 on the Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale. * Uncontrolled hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroid patients who have changed their dose of hormone replacement therapy in the 6 weeks before screening are not eligible. * Underlying muscle diseases, including a history of or currently active myopathy (e.g., dermatomyositis, polymyositis, etc.) or muscular dystrophies. * Confirmed rheumatoid arthritis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. * History of cancer in the last 6 months. * Not on any medications including NHPs/living with medical conditions that would compromise the study outcome or the safety of the research participant. * Known allergy to study medication or its components (non-medicinal ingredients). * Allergy to aspirin/salicylate or if using other drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid or other salicylates and a history of ASA-sensitive asthma/bronchospasm The following list of medications/NHPs will be excluded (and weaned as seen necessary by the study physician) prior to and during the study: * Participants on newly initiated cholesterol-lowering medication will be excluded. Those on stable regimens for ≥3 months will be included and will be monitored for potential interactions as per the HMB monograph. * Medications associated with muscle weakness or immune effects (i.e., oral glucocorticoids). * Medications or supplements affecting skeletal muscle metabolism or weight including: Use of MAO-I's (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), additional consumption of 2-HOBA, Vitamin D or HMB, anabolic steroids, selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), corticosteroids, GLP-1s, or other weight loss medications). * Excessive protein supplementation (i.e., \>2.0 g/kg/day). * All participants must be on a stable dose of allowed supplements/medications for at least 3 months prior to enrollment. All concomitant therapies will be documented. Non-pharmacological interventions that could influence study outcomes (e.g., pulmonary rehabilitation, structured exercise programs) will not be permitted. Participants undergoing such therapies will be excluded. Any new interventions started during the study must be reported and if judged inappropriate, will result in withdrawal from the trial.
