Brief Summary:
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effects of Sabroxy®, a standardized extract of Oroxylum indicum bark, on insulin resistance and cognitive function in adults with mild cognitive impairment and insulin resistance.
A total of 120 participants (men and women, aged 35-80 years) who are non-smokers, with fasting glucose levels between 100-135 mg/dL and a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score below 26, will be enrolled. Eligible participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either Sabroxy® (250 mg with 5 mg BioPerine®) or placebo, administered orally once daily for 8 weeks.
The primary endpoint is the change in insulin resistance from baseline to Week 8, assessed using the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).
The secondary endpoints include changes in:
Cognitive performance, assessed using the Immediate Word Recall, Numeric Working Memory, Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
Biomarkers of metabolic and neuronal function, including Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fasting insulin, fasting glucose, and phosphorylated tau/amyloid beta (p-Tau/Aβ) ratio.
Safety will be assessed through adverse event monitoring, vital signs, and routine clinical laboratory tests.
The study will be conducted at a single site, San Francisco Research Institute (USA), in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH-GCP guidelines, and 21 CFR Part 312 (where applicable).
This study seeks to generate clinical evidence supporting the potential of Sabroxy® supplementation to improve glucose tolerance, reduce inflammation, and enhance cognitive function in individuals with early metabolic and neurocognitive dysfunctions.
Detailed Description:
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often occurs alongside metabolic disturbances such as insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, which are recognized contributors to neurodegenerative risk. Sabroxy® is a standardized extract of Oroxylum indicum bark, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, and has demonstrated antioxidant, neuroprotective, and glucose-regulatory properties in preclinical studies.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of Sabroxy® supplementation to improve both metabolic and cognitive outcomes in adults with MCI and insulin resistance. The trial follows a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, with 120 eligible participants randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Sabroxy® (250 mg combined with 5 mg BioPerine®) or placebo once daily for 8 weeks.
The primary objective is to assess the effect of Sabroxy® on insulin resistance as measured by HOMA-IR. Secondary objectives include assessing cognitive function improvements (using Immediate Word Recall, Numeric Working Memory, CFQ, and MoCA tests), as well as evaluating changes in biochemical markers related to neuronal health (BDNF, p-Tau/Aβ ratio) and inflammation (hs-CRP).
Safety assessments include adverse event monitoring, vital signs, and standard clinical laboratory evaluations throughout the study. All study procedures are conducted at the San Francisco Research Institute (USA) in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, ICH-GCP guidelines, and 21 CFR Part 312 (where applicable).
The outcomes from this study are expected to contribute evidence on the dual role of Sabroxy® in improving glucose tolerance and supporting cognitive function in individuals exhibiting early metabolic and neurocognitive dysfunctions.
