Trial summary

The aim of this study is to systematically Analyse the metabolome in capillary blood of healthy men and women at rest and during defined standardized physical activity under normobaric normoxia or hypoxia with a specific focus on metabolites and metabolic pattern related to energy metabolism.

About this study

Official title: Metabolic Dynamics During Physical Activity Under Normobaric Normoxia or Moderate Hypoxia - a Pilot Study

The aim of this study is to systematically Analyse the metabolome in capillary blood of healthy men and women at rest and during defined standardized physical activity under normobaric normoxia or hypoxia with a specific focus on metabolites and metabolic pattern related to energy metabolism. The metabolome analyses in capillary blood could give us also or more detailed insight into erythrocyte metabolic physiology because it is known for a longer time that the primary metabolism of the erythrocyte reflects its Oxygen Saturation via the glycolytic metabolites / intermediates pattern.

What participants receive

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

  • running on a treadmill under normoxia or hypoxiaOther

    • 30 min running (60% VO2max) on a treadmill under hypoxia (O2: 14%)
    • 30 min running (60% VO2max) on a treadmill under normoxia (O2: 20%)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in capillary lactate/pyruvate Ratio (dimension-free)

    marker for the ratio between anaerobic / aerobic glycolysis

    Measured: t = 0 min (before exercise); t = 10, 20 and 30 min during exercise; t = 50 and 60 min during recovery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing running on a treadmill under normoxia or hypoxia in people with Healthy Men and Women, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 Apr 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 Germany. 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 capillary lactate/pyruvate Ratio (dimension-free) (time frame: t = 0 min (before exercise); t = 10, 20 and 30 min during exercise; t = 50 and 60 min during recovery). 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 Apr 2018.
