Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Men and women aged 65 years or older who are under-nourished, as defined by a Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score <24 AND 1 or more of the following: *a body mass index (BMI) of less than 22 kg/m2; *weight loss of > 7.5% in the 3 months before enrolling in the study
* Living independently in the community (not in a hospital, nursing home or hostel)
* Understand and sign informed consent document, able to communicate with the investigator, and understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
* Women who are taking oestrogen or other hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may take part (see exclusion criteria for exceptions), as may women who are not taking HRT. If a woman is taking HRT she must have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months before enrolment in the study. If not on HRT, she must not have been taking it for at least 3 months before enrolment.

Key exclusion criteria
* Dementia as indicated by a Folstein's Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of < 23
* Elevated haematocrit (HCT) levels (>50%)
* Past or present history of prostatic cancer in men (Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels [> age-related normal range and/or irregular prostate on prostate examination]) or breast cancer.

* Significant cardiac failure (NYHA Class III and above)
* Significantly abnormal liver function tests (ALT, GGT, bilirubin or ALP more than 2 times the upper limit of normal)
* Nephrotic syndrome; 24h urine protein excretion > 3 grams (if baseline urinalysis reveals > 1+ proteinuria, quantification will be performed) AND/OR calculated creatinine clearance (by the equation of Baracskay and Jarjoura for ambulatory elderly subjects [Cr clearance = 4.4/serum creatinine (mmol/L) + (88-age)](63) < 30 ml/min) AND/OR serum creatinine concentration > 0.2mmol/l.
* Amputee (body mass index, creatinine clearance and body composition estimations inaccurate).
* Any disease, which in the opinion of the investigator is likely to lead to death within one year
* Testosterone or other androgen therapy (including DHEA and tibolone) in the four months before starting the study.
* Medication with cyclosporin or barbiturates
