• Conditions: Arthropathy, unspecified,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2023/09/058104
• Lead Sponsor: Sam Sabinsa Group Limited

Brief Summary

The study involves 96 subjects randomized in two arms and will receive 90 days of treatment and telephonic follow-up after 7 days following the last visit. Participants will be randomized to receive either C3 reduct-70mg (Arm-1) or Placebo (Microcrystalline cellulose-70) Arm-2. Specific biomarkers such as IL-6, HsCRP, lipid Profile will be measured and analysed during the study period. Goniometer and scales such as modified WOMAC and KOOS will be also analysed during the study period. The final statistical analysis and study report will be complied at the end of the study period.
