Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) in Healthy Adults.
- Conditions
- Healthy Volunteers
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN-C)
- Registration Number
- NCT04910061
- Lead Sponsor
- Seneque SA
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetic profile, and effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN-C) in healthy adults, 18-65 years of age. The effects will be studied over the course of 30 days in a repeated-dose study through the collection of blood and urine samples, and administration of surveys and questionnaires.

Group Intervention Description NMN-C Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN-C) Healthy individuals receiving NMN-C
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety as measured by subject incident of treatment-emergent adverse events between Day 1 and Day 30 Subject incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Safety as measured by subject incident of treatment-emergent clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory safety tests. between Day 1 and Day 30 Subject incidence of treatment-emergent clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory safety tests (Complete blood count, C reactive protein, AST, ALT, bilirubin, GGT, Alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, creatine kinase, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride)
Safety as measured by subject incident of treatment-emergent clinically significant changes in vital signs between Day 1 and Day 30 Subject incidence of treatment-emergent clinically significant changes in vital signs (body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in NAD+ metabolites concentrations in plasma Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hour post-dose on Day 29 MeNAM and NAM will be assessed in plasma at the following time points : t=0 hours (pre-dose), t=0.25 hours, t=0.5 hours, t=1 hours, t=2 hours, t=4 hours, t=8 hours and t=12 hours after dosing
Change from baseline in homocysteine concentrations Day 1, Day 29 homocysteine level will be evaluated in plasma
Changes in body weight Day 1, Day 29 Changes in Fatigue state Day 1, Day 29 the mean changes in the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) score (MFI-20 is providing an overall score ranging from 20 to 100 (a higher score indicates a higher level of fatigue).
Change in blood lipid profile from baseline during the intervention period Day 1, Day 29 Total cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, Triglyceride concentrations will be evaluated
