Study summary

The current study is designed to assess the pain relieving effect of 4-weeks ingestion of this commercialized dietary supplement (Lanconone®, Enovate Biolife, LLC, 1000 mg twice per day) in mild to moderate OA subjects. Also, the current study intends to assess the safety and efficacy of long term administration of Lanconone in larger sample size as compared to the earlier studies.15,16 The study also intends to analyse the effect on joint stiffness and function by means of self-reported WOMAC \& Lequesne questionnaire.The effect of IP on clinically proven biomarker, hs-CRP will be analyzed in comparison with placebo.

Read the detailed description

This study has been planned to evaluate the efficacy of Lanconone® in enhancing the overall joint health in the population of ≥ 40 years of age during the daily life activities by the reduction of the joint pain and discomfort. Assessment of pain is the primary objective which will be done by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). It is a widely used, proprietary set of standardized questionnaires used by health professionals to evaluate the severity of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the joints. The early onset of action (3 days after commencement of the IP administration) for pain relief which was not captured in the past studies, will be captured in the current study by the telephonic assessment of the study subjects. Lequesne et al developed an index of severity for osteoarthritis for the knee which can be used to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. Unlike the earlier studies, we will use the Lequesne Functional Index (LFI) to assess the extent of joint health degeneration. In relation to OA, elevated levels of hs-CRP have been correlated with symptoms of joint pain and stiffness. Hence, we decided to analyze the hs-crp levels as one of the secondary objectives. Also, the rescue medication consumption has been limited to lower per day consumption compared to earlier studies to avoid the placebo effect influence on the study results. The efficacy of the IP in sustaining the pain relieving effect will be analyzed on day 35, i.e. one week after the end of the treatment.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Aug 2017 to primary completion in Jan 2018, 5 months.

Of 140 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Osteoarthritis, Knee, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 34. This study's 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,251 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 30, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
