Trial summary

Although aging process appears to be generally characterized, investigators have been paid much attention to the specific target molecules, which leads to discover the clinical markers of the senescence. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Association Study of Characterizing Cognitive Decline and Functional Cardiac Senescence Profile Through the Association of Biomarkers and Clinical Outcomes in Healthy Middle Aged and Elderly Korean Volunteers

  • Although aging process appears to be generally characterized, investigators have been paid much attention to the specific target molecules, which leads to discover the clinical markers of the senescence. The present study is to investigate the clinical and biological profile of cognitive decline and functional cardiac senescence in healthy middle aged and elderly Korean volunteers.
  • This study was conducted as a cross-sectional, single-center, comparative clinical study.
  • Each volunteer was given informed consent for checking cognition and cardiac function. Blood and urine samples were collected to analyze genome, proteome, and metabolome to assess cognition and cardiac function of its muscle enzymes.
Read the detailed description
  • The protocol of this study was developed as the first assessment of the three to four series of clinical research on senescence.
  • This design of the study is a non-interventional, single-center, single-visit design for investigating the cognitive decline and cardiac function including heart muscle enzyme activity, which have been considered one of the key points in aging process.
  • Volunteers visit the study site during the screening period, informed consent for study participation and blood draw are given respectively, then, the eligibilities are met, participants visit the study site just once within two weeks.
  • The participants undergo the following five procedures for 2-3 hours; out-patient visit,
  1. additional demographic interview including covariate factors (depression status, marital status
  2. vital sign check
  3. the questionnaire for cognitive function
  4. blood draw for genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses (10 milli Liter), urine collection (20 milli Liter)
  5. electrocardiogram (ECG), then they are discharged.
  • Their safety follow-up is monitored in a week (± 1 day) by a phone-call from the study associates.
  • To evaluate cognitive function, several cognitive batteries were used, 3MSE (Modified-Mini Mental State Examination), ADAS-cog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale); for cognitive biomarkers, Apolipoprotein E, Type-3 metabotropic glutamate receptors.
  • To evaluate cardiac function including its enzyme activity: HRV (heart rate variability), CRP (c-reactive protein); Cardiac Troponin T.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment, run by Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2014.
