Trial summary

The main goal of this study is to investigate the impact of aging on the responsiveness of peripheral blood immune cells. To this aim, the investigators will take advantage of a recently described syringe-based assay system that can reproducibly assess induced, innate or adaptive immune responses.

About this study

Official title: To Investigate the Impact of Aging on Cytokine and Chemokine Production by Peripheral Blood Immune Cells

The main goal of this study is to investigate the impact of aging on the responsiveness of peripheral blood immune cells. To this aim, the investigators will take advantage of a recently described syringe-based assay system that can reproducibly assess induced, innate or adaptive immune responses. Briefly, a total of 50 healthy volunteers will participate to this study: 25 will be older than 18 and younger than 30, and 25 will be older than 55. A total of 14 ml of blood will be drawn including 5 X 1 ml in TruCulture™ tubes containing poly(I:C), R-848, LPS, CpG, or no stimulus, respectively. After 22 hours of incubation at 37°C, cellular supernatants will assessed for levels of 10 different chemokines using a MesoScaleDiscovery multiplexing platform.

What is being measured

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

  1. CCL2 levels

    Compare CCL2 levels in the supernatants of poly(I :C)-stimulated whole blood cells between volunteers aged from 18 to 30 years and volunteers older than 55

    Measured: at first day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Other CCL levels

    Compare CXCL8 (IL-8) levels in the supernatants of poly(I :C)-stimulated whole blood cells between volunteers aged from 18 to 30 years and volunteers older than 55

    Measured: at first day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Healthy Volunteers in people with Healthy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 23 Jul 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 France. 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?

CCL2 levels (time frame: at first day). 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 23 Jul 2018.
