IBM Dietary Surveillance Study at Manchester Metropolitan University
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
The NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registry has added a new observational study (NCT07535996) titled 'IBM Dietary Surveillance Study' at Manchester Metropolitan University. The study will investigate how diet affects muscle health and functional ability in adults with inclusion body myositis (IBM) compared to healthy volunteers aged 40 and older. Participants will complete dietary records, physical activity monitoring, body composition assessments, and muscle function tests over a four-week home monitoring period plus two university visits.
What changed
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov has registered a new observational study on dietary factors and inclusion body myositis (IBM). The study will recruit adults with IBM and healthy volunteers aged 40+ to compare dietary patterns, muscle health, and functional ability over a four-week monitoring period.
Affected parties include patients with inclusion body myositis, healthy research volunteers, and clinical research organizations conducting the assessments at Manchester Metropolitan University. The study does not create compliance obligations but contributes to the publicly available clinical research registry required for observational and interventional studies.

IBM Dietary Surveillance Study
Observational NCT07535996 Kind: OBSERVATIONAL Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this observational study is to understand how diet may influence the disease characteristics of inclusion body myositis (IBM). Research findings will help determine whether dietary factors could play a role in managing IBM.
The study aims to answer the question: Does diet affect the muscle health and functional ability of people living with IBM?
Researchers will compare adults with IBM to healthy volunteers aged 40 years and older. This comparison will help to identify which findings are related to normal ageing and which are specific to IBM.
Participants will:
Attend an initial screening visit at the Manchester Metropolitan University Institute of Sport to confirm eligibility and explain study procedures.
Complete four weeks of home-based monitoring, including dietary records, physical activity monitoring, and questionnaires about lifestyle and symptoms.
Attend a second university visit for assessments of body composition, metabolism, and muscle function.
Conditions: Inclusion Body Myositis
Interventions: Whole-Body Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, Anthropometry, Capillary Blood Sampling, Indirect Calorimetry, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Dynamometry, Behavioural Monitoring
