Impact of Orally Administered BPM31510 on Mitochondrial Energetics in Older Adults With Sarcopenia

Withdrawn before enrolling · Early Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Sarcopenia

In brief

This study is being done to gather data on whether oral supplementation of CoQ10 is enriched in the blood and muscles in older adults with sarcopenia. This study involves 28 consecutive days of oral CoQ10 supplementation to explore changes in muscle strength, aerobic capacity and physical function with CoQ10 supplementation.

• Participant must be sedentary, defined as ≤ 1 structured intentional continuous exercise session (approximately 30 mins) per week.
• Participant must be sarcopenic, defined as having a skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) of <7.25 kg/m2 for males or <5.67 kg/m2 for females via DEXA scan.

• Participant has had a significant cardiovascular event (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) ≤ 6 months prior to screening visit; or stated history of congestive heart failure; or participant has evidence of cardiovascular disease assessed during the ECG at screening. In the event of a positive stress test, participants are referred to their primary care physician. If the electrocardiogram (ECG) is determined to be a false positive, participant may be allowed to participate in study after confirmatory records obtained.
• The presence of any condition which contraindicate moderate exercise and would result in the inability to comply with the protocol as written or would compromise participant safety or data integrity, will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Principal investigator and the study physician.
• Participant is actively pursuing weight loss and/or lifestyle changes.
• History of gastrointestinal or intracranial hemorrhage.
• History of stroke or cerebrovascular accident.
• Participant has diabetes.
• Weight stable -no gain/loss by self-report of ≥ 10 lbs in 6 months prior to screening

• Participant has untreated hyperthyroidism (TSH (0.5mIU/L) or untreated hypothyroidism (TSH 10mIU/L).
• Participant has current infection (requiring prescription antimicrobial or antiviral medication, or hospitalization), or corticosteroid treatment (with the exception of inhaled or topical steroids) in the last 3 months prior to screening visit.
• Participant is currently taking anti-inflammatory medication or has had anti-inflammatory medication within 1 week prior to screening (including over the counter formulations, e.g., Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, naproxen, low dose aspirin).
• Participant has had surgery requiring > 2 days of hospitalization in the last 1 month prior to screening visit.
• Participant has an active malignancy or autoimmune disease.
• Participant has current significantly impaired liver function in the opinion of the study Medical Investigator (mild asymptomatic fatty liver is acceptable), or hepatic enzyme tests are ≥ 2.5 times normal limit.
• Participant has a chronic, contagious, or infectious diseases, such as active tuberculosis, Hepatitis B or C, or HIV, per self-report.
• Participant currently has uncontrolled severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting.
• Participant has an obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory bowel disease, short bowel syndrome or other forms of gastrointestinal disease such as stage III or above gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastroparesis, peptic ulcer disease, celiac disease, intestinal dysmotility, diverticulitis, ischemic colitis and bariatric surgery.
• Participant has a mini-Mental State Examination score < 21.
