Study summary

This will be a (2 visit) double-blind, randomized, placebo crossover design clinical study to assess the potential benefits of FSD-F2R6-A-CP versus a placebo by assessing its impact on side effect profiles as well as cognitive abilities, motor abilities, and breath alcohol concentration following ingestion of alcohol followed by the dietary supplement or placebo. This study will enroll healthy men and women.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Intoxication

    Intoxication will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of intoxication.

    Time frame: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  2. Impairment

    Impairment will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of impairment.

    Time frame: Change in pre-treatment score to 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours post-treatment

  3. Mental Fatigue

    Mental fatigue will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with left (0 mm) and right (100 mm) anchors designated 'not at all' and 'very much' to assess subjects' subjective experience of mental fatigue.

Ran from Jul 2024 to primary completion in Nov 2024, 3 months.

Of 29 interventional studies with no phase under Alcoholic Intoxication, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 58. This study's 3 months is below that.

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 May 22, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
