Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease driven by a dysbiotic oral biofilm and a dysregulated host immune response. Standard non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) is primarily mechanical and, in selected cases, may be accompanied by antiseptics or systemic antibiotics. Targeted modulation of the oral microbiome ("microbiome engineering") is currently not part of routine periodontal care due to limited high-quality evidence. The full summary is on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Methylcobalamin; Cyanocobalamin group; Control group

Registered summary

Vitamin B12 (B12, Cobalamin) is an essential micronutrient that humans are not capable of synthesizing and therefore must be ingested through food. In nature, B12 is basically only present in foods of animal origin. B12 deficiency is a clinically important condition that is associated with several metabolic disorders such as megaloblastic anemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and neurological disorders. Therefore an optimal intake of B12 is important. B12 deficiency occurs when B12 stores are depleted due to inadequate dietary intake or impaired absorption of B12.

Registered summary

ICOPE could constitute the reference model of care for healthy aging. More specifically, our hypothesis is that the intervention implemented in ICOPE may directly or indirectly prevent immuno-senescence, the loss of mobility and the cognitive decline. In future Geroscience clinical trials, ICOPE-Intense could become a benchmark to reduce the rate of aging with a strong non-pharmacological intervention and state a reference intervention to compare with new gerotherapeutic drugs.

Vitamin B12

Registered summary

Short description of the protocol intended for the lay public. Include a brief statement of the study hypothesis (Limit : 5000 characters) The sickle cells anemia is a monogenic disease linked to the presence of Hemoglobin S due to a mutation in the Hemoglobin Beta chain. The lack of circulating oxygen induces a polymerization of the Hemoglobin S which change the red cell conformation into sickle. Those cells interact and causes vaso-occlusive crisis (CVO). The MEOPA is a medical gas used as an antalgic and a sedative especially in sickle cells disease patients. The full summary is on the listing.

Registered summary

This clinical study evaluates the effect of acute intake of a new vitamin B12 formulation on anaerobic and cognitive performance variables. One of the limiting factors for the potential beneficial effects of vitamin B12 is its bioavailability. This new formula improves this aspect, so that by improving plasma levels of B12 we will be able to relate whether this situation may be related to improved performance or cognitive tasks.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and dose-limiting toxicity of taxane-based agents, with an incidence of 57%-83%. Patients frequently develop fingertip numbness, reduced tactile sensation, and other neuropathic symptoms, which significantly impair quality of life. The severity of CIPN is strongly associated with cumulative drug dosage. Current management strategies remain inadequate, and no high-level clinical recommendations are available.
