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 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 study tests an experimental treatment called EN001, made from stem cells, to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults with sarcopenia. Participants will receive the treatment or a placebo, and all will follow a diet and exercise program.
This study tests whether a physical therapy program can help older adults with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It may help you feel stronger and more capable in daily life.
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 whether a protein powder combined with resistance exercise can improve muscle and bone health in people with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle). It may help you become stronger and more mobile.
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.
