Trial summary

A non invasive transdermal sensor device was developed by the Im2Np laboratory to determine the presence of vapor of alcohol in insensible perspiration. One of possible application would be a continuous and non invasive monitoring of drinking behavior. Read more about this study

About this study

A non invasive transdermal sensor device was developed by the Im2Np laboratory to determine the presence of vapor of alcohol in insensible perspiration.

One of possible application would be a continuous and non invasive monitoring of drinking behavior. To investigate the validity of this method, it's necessary to compare Transdermal Alcohol Concentrations results obtained by this new device with Blood Alcohol Concentrations and breath Alcohol Concentrations provided by reference methods.

The purpose of this study is to identify the kinetic of alcohol concentration in blood, exhaled air and sweat after alcohol ingestion.

Being tested
oral dose of alcohol, alcotest, blood samples, Transdermal monitor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oral dose of alcohol, alcotest and blood samples in people with The Sweat Alcohol Concentration, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The determination of ethanol in the plasma (time frame: 6 months). 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 2 Oct 2017.
