About this study

Official title: Effect of Oxidative Stress on Acute Exercise-induced Mobilization and Apoptosis of Hematopoietic, Endothelial and Mesenchymal Stem and Progenitor Cells and Mature Endothelial Cells in Healthy Young Male Subjects

It is already known from literature that exercise mobilizes stem and progenitor cells into the peripheral blood. However, the exact mechanisms thereof remain to be fully elucidated.

The investigators hypothesize that exercise-induced oxidative stress could be at least one of the responsible mechanisms and therefore want to study the exercise-induced stem and progenitor cell mobilization in a group of healthy young men when they exercise with, compared to when they exercise without antioxidative supplementation.

The primary outcome is numbers of stem and progenitor cells in the peripheral blood after an acute bout of exercise. As a secondary outcome, numbers of apoptotic mature and immature cells in the blood will be analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in exercise-dependently mobilized stem and progenitor cell numbers in the peripheral blood with antioxidative supplementation

    Numbers of hematopoietic, endothelial and mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells and mature endothelial cells in the peripheral blood will be measured after an acute bout of exercise first without and then with prior antioxidative supplementation.

    Measured: On visit 2 after the exercise test without supplementation and then again on visit 3 after the exercise test with prior supplementation (1 week)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in numbers of exercise-induced apoptotic cells and oxidative stress markers in the peripheral blood with antioxidative supplementation

    Numbers of apoptotic mononuclear cells, apoptotic hematopoietic, endothelial and mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells and apoptotic mature endothelial cells, as well as in oxidative stress markers in the peripheral blood will be measured after an acute bout of exercise first without and then with prior antioxidative supplementation.

    Measured: On visit 2 after the exercise test without supplementation and then again on visit 3 after the exercise test with prior supplementation (1 week)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Antioxidative supplementation in people with Healthy, run by Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 16 Dec 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 Switzerland. 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?

Changes in exercise-dependently mobilized stem and progenitor cell numbers in the peripheral blood with antioxidative supplementation (time frame: On visit 2 after the exercise test without supplementation and then again on visit 3 after the exercise test with prior supplementation (1 week)). 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 NCT03747913, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Dec 2019.
