Tokyo, April 20 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061180) titled 'A systematic review of the effects of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris H61 (heat-killed) on supporting iron supplementation' on April 20.

Study Type: Others,meta-analysis etc

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Japan Clinical Trial Association

Condition: Condition - Healthy adults (generally aged 18 years or older) without apparent iron-deficiency anemia or chronic diseases Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To systematically evaluate whether continuous intake of Lactococcus lactis H61 improves iron absorption or iron status in healthy individuals compared with no intake or placebo. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old <= Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Participants Healthy adults (generally aged 18 years or older) without apparent iron-deficiency anemia or chronic diseases

Interventions Continuous intake of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris H61 (heat-killed)

Comparators Placebo or no intake

Outcomes Primary outcome: Serum ferritin

Secondary outcomes: Serum iron, transferrin saturation (TSAT), hemoglobin, and other iron metabolism-related parameters If direct indicators of iron absorption, such as those measured using stable isotope techniques, are reported, they will also be evaluated.

Study design Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized intervention studies Key exclusion criteria - Animal studies, in vitro studies, studies including only patients with specific diseases, studies using lactic acid bacteria other than H61 alone, and studies that did not report iron-related outcomes

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 04 Month 06 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 04 Month 07 Day Last follow-up date - 2027 Year 04 Month 07 Day
