About this study

Official title: Reversibility of Propylene Glycol/Glycerol Intake Effects on Cardiorespiratory Function

Propylene glycol/Glycerol intake is increasingly popular. The propylene glycol/glycerol intake effects on cardiorespiratory function are unknown.

Read the detailed description

Background. Propylene glycol/Glycerol intake is increasingly popular. The propylene glycol/glycerol intake effects on cardiorespiratory function are unknown. Weaning of propylene glycol/glycerol could allows a quick clearance of propylene glycol/glycerol from the body, with subsequent recovery of cardiorespiratory function.

Specific aim of the research. This research proposal tests the following hypothesis regarding the reversibility of propylene glycol/glycerol and nicotine intake:

  • Propylene glycol/glycerol cessation restores cardiorespiratory function.
  • Chronic propylene glycol/glycerol and propylene glycol/glycerol/nicotine intake induces specific serum and urine proteomics profile, which are partially reversed after cessation.
  • Chronic propylene glycol/glycerol and propylene glycol/glycerol/nicotine intake induces specific serum and urine metabolomics profile, which are partially reversed after cessation.

What participants receive

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

  • Nicotine free intakeOther

    The participant will wean off nicotine during five days before the experimental session. At the start of the experimental session, participants will be exposed to acute propylene glycol/glycerol (mix 50:50) intake.

  • Nicotine intakeOther

    The participant will pursuit his regular nicotinic propylene/glycerol intake five days before the experimental session. At the start of the experimental session, participants will be exposed to acute propylene glycol/glycerol (mix 50:50) intake.

  • Cessation intakeOther

    The participant will completely stop his regular nicotinic propylene/glycerol intake during five days before the session. At the start of the experimental session, participants will mimick intake with the device turns off.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nicotine free intake, Nicotine intake and Cessation intake in people with Lung Injury, 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 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 3 Nov 2020. 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. 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?

Change in cardiorespiratory function (time frame: 4 hours). 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 3 Nov 2020.
