Trial summary

The role of oxidative stress in disease pathology is increasingly recognized. At present, the development of biomarkers of this state is in its infancy and the availability of clinically validated assays is lacking. This study will better determine normal values for specific biomarkers of oxidative stress. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 8 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Healthy Individuals older than 8 years and less than 50 years

Who may be able to join

  • Age: Over 8 years old and less than 50 years

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy: Females who are pregnant or lactating will be excluded from the study as the influence of pregnancy on the markers is not known nor is the impact of pregnancy on taurine known.
  • Antioxidant use: Individuals taking taurine, over the counter energy drinks containing taurine or other high dose antioxidants such as Vitamin C or E, coenzyme Q, carotenes, selenium will be excluded as such intake will likely impact laboratory results.
  • Inflammatory status:
  • Individuals who have a significant chronic illness or state that has a known or suspected marked inflammatory component or oxidative stress component will be excluded from the study as the illness will impact inflammatory markers.
  • Patients with an acute illness, which may impact inflammatory biomarkers, will be postponed for study entry until the acute illness is resolved. Entry into the study at a later day will be offered. The study visit will not be conducted within 3 weeks of the acute illness.
  • Smoking within the past 12 months will be excluded.

About this study

The role of oxidative stress in disease pathology is increasingly recognized. At present, the development of biomarkers of this state is in its infancy and the availability of clinically validated assays is lacking. This study will better determine normal values for specific biomarkers of oxidative stress. It will also investigate normal values of taurine, a natural occurring oxidative stress protectant. A primary and specific application of this data is for the evaluation of oxidative stress, levels of the natural protectant taurine, and of associated inflammation in the context of cystathionine β-synthase (ClinicalTrials.gov study: Oxidative Stress Markers in Inherited Homocystinuria and the Impact of Taurine).

Read the detailed description

This study is a one-time collection of blood and urine samples in healthy individuals. Subjects have to be fasting for 3 hours prior to the blood sampling. A maximum of 7.5 mLs of blood (1 and 1/5 teaspoon) and a urine sample will be collected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oxidative Stress, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 19 Jan 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Oxidative stress marker: TBARS (time frame: Time 0). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Jan 2018.
