Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Arm Label
Arm I (glucosamine sulfate/chondroitin sulfate tablet)
Arm II (placebo)
Arm Description
Patients receive glucosamine sulfate/chondroitin sulfate tablet PO on days 1-14 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Fourteen days later, patients crossover to Arm II.
Patients receive placebo PO on days 1-14 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Fourteen days later, patients crossover to Arm I.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Effects of glucosamine sulfate/chondroitin sulfate tablet (G&C) on gut microbial community modulation
shifts in the bacterial communities within person based on clustering of operational taxonomic units (OTU) at 97% utilizing principal coordinate analysis [PCOA]).
Effects of G&C on serum C-reactive protein (CRP)
evaluated using a generalized estimating equation which accounts for variation due to repeated measures within an individual

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial studies glucosamine and chondroitin in preventing inflammation in overweight patients. Chronic inflammation contributes to cancer formation, and biomarkers of inflammation have been associated with cancer risk. Glucosamine and chondroitin may prevent inflammation and this trial may help identify the bacteria that help process them in the gut.
