About this study

Official title: Metabolomics Profiling and Biomarker Research of Human Cerebrospinal Fluid in Aging Process and Age-related Neurodegenerative Diseases

Perform quantitative metabolomics on human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and establish the first human CSF Metabolome Database of aging process in Taiwan.

Read the detailed description

Metabolomics is new science based on metabolite profiles in biofluids and tissues, which under bioinformatics approaches and analyses could help to characterize metabolomic status of CSF in aging process. In this prospective study, the investigators plan to enroll 200 health volunteers and 40 neurodegenerative diseases patients with received operation under spinal anesthesia. Blood and CSF samples will be analyzed using hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and lipid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

What participants receive

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

  • spinal anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Plan to enroll 200 health volunteers and 40 neurodegenerative diseases patients with received spinal anesthesia. Blood will be collected at time point of pre-anesthesia 10 minutes and CSF samples will be collected at time point during spinal anesthesia induction. Blood will be collected, drawn into EDTA-coated tube.

What is being measured

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

  1. Exam metabolic profiles of CSF in aging process and age-related neurodegenerative diseases

    Metabolites analysis of CSF will be investigated by NMR, LC-MS. Peak lists of all NMR and LC/MS/MS spectra will be searched against the database through a web server for metabolomic data analysis and further establish the CSF Metabolome Database.

    Measured: An average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aging and Metabolites, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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 31 Jan 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Exam metabolic profiles of CSF in aging process and age-related neurodegenerative diseases (time frame: An average of 1 year). 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 31 Jan 2022.
