About this study

Official title: Modulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases-8, -9 and Endogenous Tissue Inhibitor-1 in Oral Biofluids During Pregnancy and Postpartum

The aim of this study was to investigate salivary and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of MMP-8, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 during 2/3 trimester of pregnancy and after delivery

Read the detailed description

MMP-8 and MMP-9 have been reported to reflect the inflammatory status in periodontal tissues and, therefore represent as potential biomarkers of periodontitis. The balance between tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and MMPs play an important role in maintaining the integrity of healthy periodontium.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes University.

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 4 May 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?

Changing MMP-8 levels (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 May 2018.
