Benefit of Bovine or Marine Collagen Vs. Placebo on Skin, Hair, Nails and Whole Body Health in Healthy Adults

Not applicable Recruiting status last verified 2024-09

A registered clinical trial, reproduced from its ClinicalTrials.gov record. Every value on this page is a field on that record. Nothing on this page is a finding, an assessment or a recommendation.

The registered record

Accession number: NCT06603194
Lead sponsor: Ancient + Brave (industry)
Collaborators: Princeton Consumer Research
Registered condition naming hair loss: Hair Thinning
Also registered on this record: Skin LaxityNails
Official title: BECOME Study: Comparative Efficacy of Bovine and Marine Collagen Versus Placebo on Skin, Hair, Nails and Whole Body Health Markers

The first row holds the registered condition that placed this trial on the pipeline; the second holds everything else the sponsor registered on the same record. Both are shown, and shown apart rather than shaded differently, because leaving the second out would make this trial look more like a hair-loss study than its registration says it is — and because a distinction carried only by colour is not a distinction for every reader.

Primary outcome measures only, as registered. What a trial chose to measure, and when, is the most informative thing about it that is knowable before it reports — a hair-count endpoint at 24 weeks and a patient-satisfaction endpoint at 12 weeks are not the same study.

A summary of three registered fields, not the eligibility criteria. The full inclusion and exclusion criteria, the recruiting sites and the study contacts are on the registry record, which is the only place they are maintained. This site has no relationship with this trial and cannot refer anyone to it.

"Estimated" and "actual" are the registry's own labels: an estimated date is a plan, and plans move. A date is printed at the precision it was registered at: this record registers a primary completion to the day, so a day is what is shown. Where a sponsor registers only a month, only a month is shown.

Results

This trial has not reported results. ClinicalTrials.gov holds no results record for it. That is the ordinary state of a trial that is running or about to run, and it means there is nothing here to tell you about whether the intervention works — including nothing negative. If this page implied otherwise it would be wrong.
