Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

Decreased serum CoQ10 concentrations as well as a decrease in the CoQ10H2 to-ubiquinone ratio have been demonstrated in diseases associated with OS. A strong correlation among sperm count, motility and ubiquinol-10 levels in seminal fluid has also been reported.

The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the effects of the exogenous administration of ubiquinol in the improvement of semen parameters in Pakistani men population.

Patients who full filled the inclusion criteria and gave informed written consent will be included in the trial. Patient will start to take medication and will take it for 26 weeks.

All men undergo a thorough physical examination, a detail history, serum biochemical and hematological laboratory tests and measurement of serum sex and thyroid hormone levels. A questionnaire will be used to collect information on demographic characteristics. Two semen samples 1 and 2 month apart will be obtained after 3 to 5 days of sexual abstinence and process within 1 hour of ejaculation. The mean of the two will be used for statistical analysis. Semen analyses will be performed using WHO recommended methods.

3 ml of blood will be withdrawn from the patient for the serum hormones analysis and total amount of semen will required for analysis of semen parameters.

Sponsor will bear the test cost of patient during the study treatment period.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Other: coenzyme Q10
Dose of 200 mg of CoQ10 taken daily by mouth from day 1 till 26 weeks
Drug: Coenzyme Q10
200 mg of CoQ10 or placebo daily by mouth from day 1 till 26 weeks. CoQ10 treatment is safe, even at the highest doses cited in the literature. Most clinical trials have not reported significant adverse effects that necessitated stopping therapy. However, gastrointestinal effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia have occurred. Allergic rash and headache have also been reported

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
Measure the change in semen parameters after 26 Weeks of coenzyme q10.
Time Frame: 26 weeks

To measure the change in semen parameters after 26 Weeks of coenzyme q10.

Designated as safety issue: No
26 weeks

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.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
