Hydrolyzed Fish Cartilage Effect on Knee Joint Functionality and Discomfort in Adult Population
Effect of Cartidyss-based Dietary Supplement on Knee Joint Functionality and Discomfort in Adult Population
This study is an exploratory, non-comparative, multi-centric trial in 30 free-living healthy male and female subjects with moderate knee joint discomfort and loss of functionality.
The objective of this trial is to determine whether oral administration of Cartidyss, a concentrated fish cartilage extract, can contribute to the improvement of knee joint functionality and discomfort in adult population
Study Overview
Detailed Description
30 patients will be enrolled during a 4-month period in 3 investigational sites and each patient will undergo 3 visits (V0: Inclusion visit at baseline, V1: Follow-Up Visit after 1 month ± 3 day and V2: End Visit after 3 months ± 5 days).
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether oral administration of Cartidyss, a concentrated fish cartilage extract, can contribute to the improvement of knee joint functionality and discomfort in adult population, using a specific self-administered questionnaire. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effect of Cartidyss on knee function and pain at rest and while walking, with patient global assessment and quality of life at each time point. The tolerance, compliance, satisfaction, rate of responder to the supplementation and pain killer's consumption would be also evaluated as secondary endpoints.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Evaluate the effect of Cartidyss on knee functionality and discomfort after 3 months of supplementation
Time Frame: 3 months (Day 0, Month 1 and Month 3)
|
Changes from baseline to 3 months of Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) global score using a specific self-administered questionnaire Variation of Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score using a self-administered questionnaire.
The KOOS outcome score is a 42-item self-administrated questionnaire comprising 5 subscales: Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sports and Recreation function, and Quality Of Life.
A separate score ranging from 0 to 100, where 100 represents the best result, will be calculated for each subscale.
A global score will be calculated by summing the score of each subscale.
