Trial summary

An association has been suggested with several diseases including cancer and IARC has classified several pesticides as carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic. There is a need for a better characterisation of environmental pesticides exposures and identification of suitable biomarkers of exposure and effect. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pesticide Exposure in the General Population: Use of Spatial, Environmental, Toxicological and Biological Approaches

An association has been suggested with several diseases including cancer and IARC has classified several pesticides as carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic. There is a need for a better characterisation of environmental pesticides exposures and identification of suitable biomarkers of exposure and effect. A better understanding of the impact of pesticide exposure on metabolomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic changes, is essential to strengthen epidemiological hypotheses on the association with several cancer types.

The main objective of the project is to validate a GIS (geographic information system) based method to assess environmental pesticide exposures, using environmental (contamination of housedust) and biological (blood and urine samples) measures. The project aims further to investigate a potential link between housedust contamination and biological measures in healthy non-smoking male residents and explore the impact of environmental pesticide exposure on metabolomics, transcriptomic and epigenetic parameters.

Read the detailed description

The project involves a pilot phase involving repeated (twice) sampling in 20 male non-smoking volunteers living in the Beaujolais region (France) to perform appropriate calibrations for metabolomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses. The main study will be conducted in a sample of 150 male non-smoking volunteers and 50 professional pesticides applicators from the same region (3 sampling periods).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pesticide Poisoning, run by Centre Leon Berard.

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 1 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 9 Feb 2018. 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?

level of pesticide exposures (time frame: up to 2 years). 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 9 Feb 2018.
