Brief Summary
Modification(s)
|
Primary
objective of this trial was to
find out efficacy of Vestige Spirulina Capsule by evaluating Mean change in ISQ
(Immune Status Questionnaire) Score from Baseline to Week 8. The ISQ
questionnaire consists of 7 questions, which are used to evaluate frequency of
different usual symptoms experienced by the subject due to low immunity, which
is representation of overall Immunity. Mean value of Raw score of ISQ
questionnaire at baseline(V1) was 1.35 which decreased to 0.54 at visit 2 (Week
4) with mean percentage change recorded as 45.71% with a statistically
significant p Value(P<.0001). Mean of Final score
reported as 4.4 at baseline which increased to 8.74 at Week 8. Mean percentage
of Final score is recorded as -91.26% which represents significant improvement
in overall immunity of the subjects. There are 48 subjects
who reported Final score as 8 and above at Week 8 from a total of 0 subjects
within this range at Baseline. A final score of 8 and above represents enhanced
Immune status. A total of 11 subjects reported Final score as 10 at week 8 from
0 subjects at baseline, final score of 10 represents excellent perceived immune
status. Secondary
objective of this trial was to
find out safety & tolerability of Vestige Spirulina Capsule by evaluating following
parameters: • Clinical Adverse
events occurring during entire duration of study There were no AEs
reported by the enrolled subjects during the study, which represents that
Vestige Spirulina capsules are safe and tolerable for extended duration of
consumption by the general population. Conclusion:
From current data set
analysis of this proof-of-concept study it can be concluded that Vestige
Spirulina Capsule has shown promising results in improving overall immunity.
Study met its primary and secondary endpoints with significant results. Vestige
Spirulina Capsule are also safe to be used as the study documented no adverse
events. However, double blind, placebo-controlled studies with larger sample
size and increased duration of consumption can be conducted to reproduce
results like current study in consideration. Its impact on various
haematological parameters can also be evaluated in future studies. |
