NCT00526890 ↗	Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Selenomethionine, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery	Terminated	Roswell Park Cancer Institute	Phase 2	2006-10-01	RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Selenomethionine may slow the growth of tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with selenomethionine and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well selenomethionine works when given together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Selenomethionine Se 75: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Future Outlook

Last updated: February 24, 2026

What is Selenomethionine Se 75?

Selenomethionine Se 75 is a selenium-based supplement. It contains 75 micrograms of selenium per dose, in the form of selenomethionine, an organic selenium compound with high bioavailability. It is marketed primarily for nutritional supplementation and antioxidant support, with potential applications in selenium deficiency management and certain chronic conditions.

What Are the Current Clinical Trial Developments?

Clinical Trial Landscape

As of Q1 2023, clinical trials involving Selenomethionine Se 75 focus on two primary areas:

1. Selenium Deficiency Treatment
2. Potential in Chronic Disease Management

Trial Phase	Number of Trials	Purpose	Status	Estimated Completion
Phase 2	3	Efficacy in restoring selenium levels in deficient populations	Ongoing	2024 Q2
Phase 3	0	None identified for large-scale efficacy validation	Not initiated	N/A
Observational	2	Correlation studies between selenium status and health outcomes	Completed, published	N/A

Notable Trials

• Nutritional Intervention in Elderly: A Phase 2 trial in Europe evaluates the impact of Selenomethionine Se 75 on selenium levels and immune function in elderly subjects. Results are pending.
• Cancer Risk Reduction Studies: Several observational studies suggest selenium intake may influence cancer risk, but no randomized controlled trials specifically use Selenomethionine Se 75.

Regulatory Status

No formal approvals or indications have been granted by the FDA or EMA for specific disease treatments using Selenomethionine Se 75 outside its dietary supplement classification.

Market Analysis

• Market saturation: Dominance of well-established forms like selenium yeast.

Key Considerations for Stakeholders

• Investors should monitor ongoing trial results, especially in populations with selenium deficiency.
• Manufacturers may evaluate the feasibility of new formulations for targeted therapeutic niches.
• Regulators require robust clinical data before considering labeling claims or indications.

Key Takeaways

• Selenomethionine Se 75 is primarily marketed as a nutritional supplement with ongoing trials assessing its health effects.
• The market is mature but growing, driven by increasing consumer health consciousness and broader recognition of selenium’s health role.
• Limited clinical evidence currently constrains therapeutic claims, but positive trial results could expand applications and approval pathways.
• Competition from selenium yeast formulations remains strong, requiring differentiation through clinical validation.
• Regulatory developments and trial outcomes will influence market trajectory over the next five years.

FAQs

1. What clinical evidence exists for Selenomethionine Se 75?
Small-scale studies and observational data support supplementation benefits in selenium-deficient populations. No large, definitive randomized trials currently validate specific health claims.

2. How does Selenomethionine Se 75 compare to selenium yeast?
Selenomethionine offers higher bioavailability and purity. Selenium yeast contains multiple forms of selenium; its stability and long history of use give it an existing market advantage.

3. Is Selenomethionine Se 75 approved for medical use?
No. It is classified as a dietary supplement without specific therapeutic approval in major markets like the US or Europe.

4. What regulatory hurdles could impact future development?
Demonstrating safety and efficacy through clinical trials dictates approval pathways. Making therapeutic claims requires rigorous evidence, which is currently limited.

5. What are the prospects for new indications?
Research into selenium’s role in cancer prevention, immune modulation, and neurodegenerative diseases could open new indications if clinical efficacy is established.
