Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cortex Eucommiae (CE: Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extract) in subjects with mild osteoarthritis (OA).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cortex Eucommiae (CE: Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extract) in subjects with mild OA. One hundred subjects with mild OA will be recruited and randomly divided into 2 groups, each group will receive Cortex Eucommiae (CE: Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extract) or placebo and will take CE or placebo for 12 weeks. Outcomes will be evaluated by self-administered questionnaires and lab test results. The hypothesis is that Cortex Eucommiae (CE: Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extract) which as a dietary supplementation may slow down or reverse OA.
