Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the activity of a food supplement, made of Melatonin, Zinc and Magnesium on sleep quality in cancer patients, compared to placebo.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate the activity of Melatonin, Zinc and Magnesium on the quality of life, on the fatigue and on the mood alteration in cancer patients.

The study will also assess the safety of the food supplement under investigation.

In two small subgroups, on voluntary basis, some additional assessments will be done (arm band, nutritional change diary, DXA in one group and activity tracker in another group)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of sleep assessed using the PSQI scale
Time Frame: up to 63 days of treatment
PSQI scale
up to 63 days of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subjective sleep quality through sleep diary
Time Frame: up to 63 days of treatment
Sleep diary analysis
up to 63 days of treatment
Overall fatigue assessed using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) questionnaire
Time Frame: up to 63 days of treatment
Fatigue assessment through Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) questionnaire

Quality of Life evaluated according to SF-12 scale
up to 63 days of treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
