Strength, muscle mass, and nutrition therapy for older adults with sarcopenia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a combination of a medicine (nandrolone), physical therapy, and a special diet can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It is for people age 60 to 99 who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia based on specific muscle strength and mass measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 99 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (muscle loss) based on grip strength and muscle mass tests.
- Your grip strength is less than 27 kg if you are a man, or less than 16 kg if you are a woman.
- Your muscle mass is low, measured by a special scan (DEXA) of your arms and legs.
- You do not have serious health problems like recent heart attack, stroke, blood clots, poorly controlled high blood pressure, severe kidney or liver disease, active cancer, or memory loss that would prevent participation.

This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This trial tests whether adding protein powder to a resistance exercise program can improve muscle strength and mobility in people with sarcopenia, a condition of age-related muscle loss. It is designed for adults aged 35–75 who have low muscle strength and slow walking speed or other physical performance issues.
This trial tests whether a combination of a vitamin D-like drug (idecalcitol), whey protein powder, and a structured exercise program can help rebuild muscle strength and mass in people with sarcopenia. It lasts about 6 months.
This study tests if physical therapy can help older adults with low muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia). It might improve your ability to do daily activities.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
