What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Blood examination

    Following parameters will be examined:

    • Blood count (red cells, white cells, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) )
    • Creatinin
    • Urea
    • Glucose
    • Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
    • Cholesterol
    • Triglyceride
    • C-reactive Protein
    • Apolipoprotein

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Protein expression

    Determination with western blot

    Measured: baseline

  2. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and Cytokine

    Determination with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: baseline

  3. Microparticles

    Determination with ELISA and flow cytometry

    Measured: baseline

  4. Immunocytochemistry

    Measured: baseline

  5. Nitric oxid metabolite and proteins in blood plasma, red blood cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN)

    Determination with reductive chemiluminescence

    Measured: baseline

  6. Nitric oxid and reactive oxygen species

    Determination with fluorescence coloring in flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Red Blood Cell and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell, run by Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 16 Feb 2021. 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 Germany. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood examination (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 16 Feb 2021.
