Traditional Chinese medicine ointment for age-related muscle loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese medicine ointment, applied externally, to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and physical function. Researchers want to see if it is safe and works as an add-on to usual care.

This trial tests an experimental medicine called PLH-2301 to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in people with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). It may be an option if you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and can walk on your own.
This study tests whether a drug called Denosumab, which is used to treat bone loss, can also help improve muscle strength and mass in older adults who have both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. If you qualify, you would receive the drug and be monitored over time to see if it helps your bones and muscles.
This trial tests if taking leucine and omega-3 fatty acids can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with low muscle health. It looks at people who have lost muscle and strength or walk slowly.
This study tests an investigational injection (IN-207907) to see if it can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will receive the injection and be monitored for safety and effectiveness.
This study tests a new capsule called TJ0113 to see if it can help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve their muscle strength and physical function. It's a phase 2 study, meaning the drug is being tested for safety and effectiveness.
