About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Propylene Glycol/Glycerol Intake on Cardiorespiratory Blood Parameters

The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effect of propylene glycol and glycerol intake on cardiorespiratory blood parameters.

Read the detailed description

Background : Propylene glycol/glycerol intake is increasingly popular. Acute effect of propylene glycol and glycerol intake on cardiorespiratory blood parameters is unknown. The investigators postulate that intake of propylene glycol and glycerol could modifiy cardiorespiratory blood parameters.

Aims of this study : to test the following hypotheses :

  1. Acute intake of propylene glycol and glycerol modifies cardiorespiratory blood parameters.

To test this hypothesis, we will perform blood samples before and after intake of propylene glycol and glycerol. Participants will be tobacco smoker between 18 and 70 years old, with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, and who will undergo a cardiac catherization. After the cardiac catherization, the catheter will be used to perform serial blood samples.

Being tested
Propylene glycol and Glycerol intake, Mimicking intake

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Propylene glycol and Glycerol intakeOther

    Intake of 1 gram of propylene glycol/Glycerol mix (50:50). Blood sample before, 5 minutes and 20 minutes after intake.

  • Mimicking intakeDevice

    Mimicking propylene glycol/glycerol intake with the device turns off. Blood sample before, 5 minutes and 20 minutes after intake.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propylene glycol and Glycerol intake and Mimicking intake in people with Metabolic Complication, run by Université Libre de Bruxelles at 1 site in Belgium.

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 17 Apr 2019. 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 Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Cardiorespiratory biological variables (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 17 Apr 2019.
