Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change and percent change in maximal leg isometric strength from the baseline up to three weeks after eccentric exercise
Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 17 and Day 22

Muscle strength is a measure the amount of force produced during a maximal voluntary contraction. Strength will be assessed by a maximal isometric (fixed length) contraction.

Secondary Endpoints

Change in peak torque and total work performed over the course of 10 consecutive, maximal isokinetic knee extension and flexion contractions
Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 17 and Day 22
Patient pain assessment using a visual analog scale
Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 17 and Day 22
Change in degree of motion
Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 17 and Day 22

Frequently asked questions about Eccentric exercise

What is Eccentric exercise used for in Tendon Injuries?

Eccentric exercise is an investigational intervention being studied for the management of tendon injuries. It is a form of exercise that involves lengthening a muscle while it is under tension. The intervention is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with one completed trial involving 12 participants in the United Kingdom.

Who is developing Eccentric exercise?

Eccentric exercise is being developed by GSK plc, a global biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol GSK. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the intervention's effects in the context of tendon injuries, with the development program currently in the Phase 1 stage.

What phase is Eccentric exercise in?

Eccentric exercise is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational intervention and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 program includes one completed trial that assessed muscle damage after eccentric exercise in healthy volunteers, with a total enrollment of 12 participants.

What clinical trials is Eccentric exercise in?

Eccentric exercise has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT02014662, titled "A Methodology Study to Assess Muscle Damage After Eccentric Exercise." This Phase 1 trial was conducted in the United Kingdom, enrolled 12 healthy male participants aged 18 years and older, and focused on tendon injuries.

Is Eccentric exercise the same as any other treatment?

Eccentric exercise is a distinct intervention and is not known to be the same as any other named treatment. It is a specific type of exercise regimen being evaluated for its potential role in tendon injuries. No alternative names have been associated with this intervention in the available clinical trial information.
