신체 이동성과 관절 건강에 대한 MyCondro™의 두 가지 다른 용량의 효과를 평가하는 분산형 임상 연구
무작위 배정, 이중 맹검 연구: 무릎 관절염과 관련된 자가 보고 이동성 문제가 있는 개인을 대상으로 참가자 보고 결과를 사용하여 MyCondroTM의 두 가지 다른 용량이 신체 이동성 및 관절 건강에 미치는 효과 평가
This study evaluates the effect of two different doses of a consumer-grade product, MyCondro™, on individuals experiencing mobility issues related to knee osteoarthritis. The primary goal is to measure improvements in overall joint health and mobility by tracking changes in participants' total WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) scores from the beginning to the end of the trial. Additionally, the study aims to assess secondary outcomes, including the product's impact on pain, stiffness, knee function, patient-reported improvement, inflammatory blood markers (CRP), and daily physical activity.

상세 설명
This decentralized, consumer-driven clinical study is designed to evaluate the impact of two different doses of MyCondro™, a consumer-grade product, on physical mobility and joint health in adults aged 45 and older with self-reported knee osteoarthritis. The primary objective is to assess the change from baseline in the total Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score within each dose group by the end of the trial. Secondary objectives will measure the product's effect on pain, stiffness, knee function, subjective impression of improvement, and inflammatory blood markers (CRP), alongside objective digital metrics of physical activity tracked via wearable devices. Because this research utilizes a direct-to-consumer model-where participants make an informed choice to enroll and collect data at home without a traditional doctor-patient relationship-the findings will provide highly relevant, real-world knowledge regarding the product's tolerability and efficacy to guide the formulation and design of future studies.
The double-blind study spans up to 20 weeks, encompassing a screening period, randomization and shipping, a baseline phase, and a 12-week product use period. Eligible participants are randomly assigned to receive either a 300mg or 600mg dose of the study product, with the investigators, study team, and participants remaining blinded to the group assignments. All trial activities are conducted remotely using the Consumer Health Learning and Organizing Ecosystem (Chloe) app by People Science. Through this web-based platform, participants will securely submit demographic data, medical history, and patient-reported outcome surveys. By combining these app-based questionnaires with at-home blood sample collection kits and wearable health tracking technology, the study aims to successfully and safely capture comprehensive health data entirely within the participant's home setting.

Knee Symptoms and Physical Function
기간: 14 weeks
|
This outcome evaluates the product's effect on overall joint health and mobility. Efficacy is measured by tracking the change from baseline in both the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)-assessing pain, stiffness, and physical function-and the TLKS (Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale). Data will be collected at 1 month, 2 months, and the end of the study to compare improvements within and between the two dose groups. |

Knee pain at rest and in motion
기간: 14 Weeks
|
This objective specifically assesses the product's impact on acute and chronic pain levels during different physical states. Utilizing a daily numeric rating scale (NRS), the investigators will track the change from baseline in average weekly knee pain scores-both at rest and in motion-comparing the outcomes between the two dosage groups. |

Subjective Impression of Improvement
기간: 14 weeks
|
This measure captures the participant's personal perception of their symptom relief and overall disease activity. It calculates the change from baseline in the average PGADA (Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity) score at 1 month, 2 months, and the end of the study to determine if either dose group experiences a more noticeable subjective improvement. |

|
Overall Quality of Life
기간: 14 weeks
|
This objective examines the broader, holistic impact of the study product on a participant's daily living and well-being. By comparing baseline Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey scores to those collected at the study's conclusion, the study investigators can analyze changes in general quality of life between the two doses. |
14 weeks
|
|
Systemic Inflammatory Blood Markers
기간: 14 weeks
|
This objective investigates the physiological effects of the study product on underlying inflammation. The study investigators will measure the change from baseline in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels at the end of the study to evaluate and compare the biochemical impact of the two different doses. |
14 weeks
|
|
Reliance on Rescue Medications
기간: 14 weeks
|
This outcome tracks the ongoing need for supplementary pain relief during the trial. It evaluates the frequency of standard rescue medication use (paracetamol/acetaminophen and oral NSAIDs) during the product use period. This metric tracks the ongoing need for supplementary pain relief, and differences in usage between the dose groups via a daily diary. |
14 weeks
|
|
Safety and Tolerability
기간: 14 weeks
|
This critical measure ensures the study product is safe for consumer use at both the 300mg and 600mg dosages. The study team will track and assess the number, frequency, and severity of all adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and any trial withdrawals caused by AEs throughout the duration of the product use period. |
