About this study

Official title: Development of a New Biological Age Technology Applicable in Public Health Promotion Interventions.

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to collect relevant molecular markers of aging and measures of physiological function. Together these biomarkers are used to develope a new Biological Age model, useful in health promotion interventions in the public health sector .

Read the detailed description

Study design: 100 participants representing the healthy danish working adult population. This study seek to include both men and women equally distributed in the range of 18-65 of age.

Data collection: After recruitment, participants need to attend once to the laboratory, overnight fasted and without having exercised for the previous 24 hours.

All analyse are done in investigators lab (Xlab) at the department of Biomedical Sciences, Copenhagen University. When analyzes are done, the results are used in algorithm developement in cooperation with Technical university Denmark.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aging and Healthy, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 19 Feb 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 Denmark. 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?

Biological Age (time frame: Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03680768, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 19 Feb 2020.
